Injection (Revisited)
Injection remains a top risk, encompassing SQL injection, NoSQL injection, OS command injection, and LDAP injection.
Why Injection Persists
Despite being well-understood, injection vulnerabilities continue to appear because:
- Developers still concatenate user input into queries
- Legacy code contains vulnerable patterns
- ORMs can be misused
- New technologies introduce new injection surfaces
Comprehensive Prevention
- Use parameterized queries consistently
- Validate all input
- Escape output based on context
- Use ORMs correctly
- Implement WAF as additional protection
