What is a PHP exploit?

In the SQL injection PHP exploit, an attacker fools the server-side code by injecting an unsanitized SQL command into the database. As a result, the SQL query returns information the web application doesn't intend to expose, such as database content, private details, passwords, etc.

Can PHP be injected?

PHP Object Injection is an application level vulnerability that could allow an attacker to perform different kinds of malicious attacks, such as Code Injection, SQL Injection, Path Traversal and Application Denial of Service, depending on the context.

Why does PHP have so many vulnerabilities?

And indeed, as recent research demonstrates, many PHP applications suffer from vulnerabilities due to bad design and lackluster understanding of basic security practices required to secure a web application.

What is a 1 day exploit?

Zero-day exploit refers to the method or technique hackers use to take advantage of a vulnerability -- often via malware -- and execute the attack. Once a zero-day vulnerability has been made public, it is known as an n-day or one-day vulnerability.
