Is SQL injection a risk today?

Question

I\'ve been reading about SQL injection attacks and how to avoid them, although I can never seem to make the \"awful\" examples given work, e.g. see this post

Answer 1

As per OWASP 2017 Top 10, still Injection is the most happened and dangerous attack.

"SQL injection is always the number one risk. That is a reflection of just how many incidents are out there, as well as other factors that keep it very high up there" Troy Hunt - founder of breach site haveibeenpwned.com

Just to remember, using SQL injection we can dump entire database, controlling web server by uploading web shell, etc.
