Explanation
A backdoor is a hidden method of bypassing normal authentication and security controls, typically implemented through a secret token, special URL, or hardcoded credential. It deliberately circumvents the application's standard security flow, often left by developers for support or testing but posing severe security risks if discovered. Administrative interfaces and database connections are legitimate components, not backdoors.
