The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "SQL injection attacks pose a serious threat to web applications, as they exploit vulnerabilities in the database layer by injecting malicious SQL code into user input fields. These attacks can have severe consequences, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and even the complete compromise of the application and underlying database. Although traditional methods like input validation and parameterized queries exist to counter SQL injection, they have their limitations. These methods often rely on manual coding practices and may not cover all possible attack vectors. As attackers continually evolve their techniques, there is a pressing need for advanced and automated solutions that can proactively identify and mitigate SQL injection attacks. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) proves its significance in predicting and combating SQL injection attacks. AI has the capacity to analyze vast amounts of data, detect patterns, and learn from previous attacks, making it an invaluable tool in this context. AI brings significant benefits to the prediction of SQL injection attacks. Its ability to detect anomalies, learn from new attack patterns, recognize complex patterns, reduce false positives, provide real-time protection, and scale to handle large applications makes it an indispensable tool. By leveraging AI, organizations can bolster their defenses against SQL injection attacks, mitigating risks and ensuring the security of their web applications and databases."
