Securing your FiveM server from SQL vulnerabilities is an essential step in protecting your server from malicious attacks.
SQL injection is a type of cyber attack that can allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to your server's database, potentially stealing sensitive information or causing damage to your server.
In this guide, I will walk you through the steps you need to take to secure your FiveM server from SQL vulnerabilities.

Step 1: Use Prepared Statements

• Using prepared statements is one of the most effective ways to protect your server from SQL injection attacks. Prepared statements are pre-compiled SQL statements that are executed with user-provided parameters, rather than concatenating user input into the query. This eliminates the possibility of an attacker injecting malicious code into your SQL query. (screenshot)

Step 2: Sanitize User Input

• Another important step in securing your server from SQL vulnerabilities is to sanitize any user input that will be used in a SQL query. This means removing any special characters that could be used to inject malicious code into your query. (screenshot)

Step 3: Use a Firewall

• A firewall is software or hardware that helps to secure your server from unauthorized access. By configuring a firewall to block any incoming connections that are not explicitly allowed, you can prevent an attacker from being able to connect to your server and inject malicious code into your SQL queries.

Step 4: Keep your server updated

• Keeping your server updated is an important step in protecting your server from vulnerabilities. By updating your server regularly, you can ensure that any security patches or updates are applied to your server, which can help to keep your server secure from SQL injection attacks.

Step 5: Regularly Backup your Database

• Regularly backing up your database is an important step in protecting your server from SQL vulnerabilities. By backing up your database regularly, you can ensure that you always have a copy of your data that you can restore in case of an attack. (screenshot)

By following these steps, you can help to secure your FiveM server from SQL vulnerabilities and protect your server from malicious attacks.
Remember to update your server and regularly back up your database in case of any unexpected issues.
