Which of the following involves an attempt to take advantage of database misconfigurations?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

SQL injection is a type of attack that exploits a database misconfiguration or a flaw in the application code that interacts with the database. An attacker can inject malicious SQL statements into the user input fields or the URL parameters that are sent to the database server. These statements can then execute unauthorized commands, such as reading, modifying, deleting, or creating data, or even taking over the database server.SQL injection can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data and the system.Reference:CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, page 2151

Hmm, I was leaning towards C) VM escape. That's where an attacker tries to break out of a virtual machine and access the underlying host system. But I suppose SQL injection is the more obvious choice here.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. SQL injection is the only option that really fits the description of 'taking advantage of database misconfigurations'. The other choices just don't seem as relevant.

I agree with Sheron on this one. SQL injection is definitely the way to go here. It's a common attack vector that takes advantage of poor input sanitization in web applications.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think the answer has to be B) SQL injection. That's a classic technique where attackers try to exploit vulnerabilities in database queries to gain unauthorized access.
