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
