This research delves into the development and evaluation of methodologies designed to detect and mitigate these malicious attacks. Employing a diverse set of web applications, the study unfolds in a controlled environment, simulating real-world conditions to assess the effectiveness of current defense mechanisms against SQLi. Building upon this baseline, the research introduces a two-pronged defense mechanism: a Static Analysis Tool to pre-emptively identify vulnerabilities in application code and a Runtime Query Sanitizer that employs rule-based patterns and machine learning models to scrutinize and sanitize SQL queries in real-time. Performance evaluation metrics, encompassing detection rate, false positives, response time, and machine learning efficiency, are meticulously documented. Further robustness of these mechanisms is ascertained through real-world simulations involving unsuspecting users and ethical hackers.
