My problem with this question is that it's not a misconfigured database that allows SQL injection, it's improperly sanitized user input fields in applications/web pages.

There is literally no correct answer, I'm even more mad to see the answer "SQL injection" , SQLi happens because a service/application that interacts with the DB is not coded "Safely" or doesn't handle user input correctly, SQLi never happens because the DB itself is misconfigured

SQL injection is an attack that targets vulnerabilities in a database by injecting malicious SQL code into input fields. It takes advantage of misconfigured or improperly secured databases that do not validate or sanitize user input.
