Haha, someone's trying to hack the web server with a little SQL magic! C'mon, SQL injection? That's so 2000s, let's move on to something more creative.

I'm pretty sure this is a SQL injection attempt. The query is trying to extract sensitive data and write it to a file on the server, which is not good.

I'm not sure, but it could also be Remote File Inclusion.

Wow, this looks like a classic SQL injection attack. The code is trying to execute a malicious SQL query to dump the user and password data to a file on the server.

I agree with Bernadine, because the query is trying to manipulate the database.
