John works as a professional Ethical Hacker. He is assigned a project to test the security of Weare- secure Web site and receives the following error message:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '0x80040E14' This error message shows that the We-are-secure Website is vulnerable to __________.

Accepted Answer

A. A SQL injection attack This error is a classic SQL injection indicator because it exposes the underlying database provider (OLE DB/ODBC) and is triggered when attacker-supplied input is concatenated directly into a SQL query, causing a parse or execution error. SQL injection allows manipulation of backend database queries due to lack of input validation or parameterized queries.

Answer

B. A Denial-of-Service attack A Denial-of-Service attack overwhelms system resources and does not produce structured database provider error messages like OLE DB errors.

Answer

C. A buffer overflow Buffer overflow attacks corrupt process memory and generate memory access violations or crashes, not SQL provider-level database errors.

Answer

D. An XSS attack Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks inject client-side scripts into web page output and operate entirely on the client side, not at the server-side database provider layer.
