In this type of attack, the attacker opens a website in a browser tab and then modifies its content using JavaScript or other scripting languages to make it look like a trusted website. The attacker then waits for the user to switch to another tab or window, and when the user returns to the modified tab, they are presented with a fake login form or other type of input field that is designed to steal their login credentials, credit card information, or other sensitive data.

The application's code uses the following SQL query to authenticate the user: SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'username' AND password = 'password' An attacker can inject malicious SQL code into the input fields to change the behavior of the query. For example, they can use the following input: username: ' OR 1=1 -- password: password The resulting SQL query becomes: SELECT * FROM us
