What is SQL Injection :
SQL injection is a type of injection attack, in which inserts SQL query via the input data from client to application and it can read sensitive data from database or modified database data or execute administration operation.
sp_executesql is system stored procedure, it is used to execute the SQL script like EXEC but sp_executesql allows for SQL statement to be parameterized as instead of embedding or injecting it into SQL code so it stops any SQL Injection possibility.
Here is an example of sp_executesql how to prevent SQL Injection:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.usp_validate_user
@UserName as varchar(10),
@Password as varchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
declare @sqlString as varchar(max)
SET @sqlString = 'Select id from dbo.Users Where UserName = @UserName and password = @Password'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlString,
N'@UserName as varchar(10), @Password as varchar(10)'
@UserName, @Password
END
GO
There are
some other difference between Exec and sp_executesql
sp_executesql
|
EXEC
|
Allow for
statement to be parameterized
|
There is no
option for parameterize column
|
No Risk of SQL
Injection
|
High Risk of SQL
Injection
|
Strongly typed parameters
|
No Strongly typed
parameters

Performance
Benefits - Cache an execution plane on first run
|
Create an
execution plan for each run
