• Key Concepts: 
  Code injection is a type of attack that occurs when malicious code is inserted into an application or system. It is a security vulnerability that can be exploited by attackers to gain access to sensitive data or disrupt operations. In the context of SAP, code injection is a type of attack that can be used to gain access to the SAP system and its data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Code injection can be used by attackers to gain access to the SAP system and its data. This can be done by exploiting vulnerabilities in the system, such as weak passwords, unpatched software, or insecure configurations. Once an attacker has gained access, they can then inject malicious code into the system, which can be used to steal data or disrupt operations. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  To protect against code injection attacks, it is important to ensure that all systems and applications are kept up-to-date with the latest security patches and configurations. Additionally, strong passwords should be used for all user accounts and access should be restricted to only those who need it.
