  When it comes to your application: I don't know how tech-savvy you are, and I'm not sure if you're worried about someone breaking into your webapp, but you could look into setting up security extentions like snuffleupagus (PHP) and SpiderLab's ModSecurity WAF for Apache and nginx for which OWASP has a great, free ruleset

  ModSecurity (v3/master): https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity

• Best free security plugin for WP website?

  I would recommend mod security which can be installed as a module for most web services like nginx and apache (and is open source). You can use the OWASP ruleset with some additional wordpress specific rulesets.

• AWS SQL Injection (?)

  Looks like the webserver has a Web application firewall installed (WAF). My would guess this https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity. Has nothing to do with AWS database per se, the WAF is running on the server along Apache, as a module. Log entry was triggered because an SQL injection attempt was detected and stopped. As it looks now the website is potentially under attack.

• XSS: What it is, how it works, and how to prevent it
  dev.to | 2021-01-18

  It may seem like overkill, but there are web application firewalls designed to specifically prevent common web attacks such as XSS and SQL Injection. Using a web application firewall (WAF) is not necessary for most applications, but for applications that require strong security, they can be a great resource. One such WAF is ModSecurity, which is available for Apache, Nginx, and IIS. Check out their wiki for more information.
