Solution

SQL injection exploits Database query execution (C).

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. SQL injection is a code injection technique that attackers use to insert malicious SQL statements into an entry field for execution.

  2. When an application does not properly validate input data, an attacker can manipulate the SQL queries executed by the application.

  3. This manipulation can allow the attacker to view data that they are not authorized to see, modify or delete data, or even execute administrative operations on the database.

  4. Therefore, SQL injection does not exploit network firewalls (A), browser vulnerabilities (B), or user authentication systems (D). It exploits the way an application interacts with its database, specifically the database query execution (C).
