Constructing path names with unsanitized user input can lead to path traversal attacks (for example, ../../..
) that allow an attacker access to file system resources.
Writing unsanitized user data to a file is unsafe.
Objects that parse or handle XML can lead to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks when misconfigured.
Improper input validation can enable attacks and lead to unwanted behavior.
Potentially unsanitized user input in XPath queries can allow an attacker to control the query in unwanted or insecure ways.
Use of untrusted inputs in a SQL database query can enable attackers to read, modify, or delete sensitive data in the database
Constructing operating system or shell commands with unsanitized user input can lead to inadvertently running malicious code.
Insufficiently restrictive file uploads can lead to inadvertently running malicious code.
Insecure configuration can lead to a cross-site request forgery (CRSF) vulnerability.
Improper filtering of Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) can result in loading an untrusted image, a potential security vulnerability.
Relying on potentially untrusted user inputs when constructing web application outputs can lead to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
Deserialization of untrusted objects can lead to security vulnerabilities such as inadvertently running remote code.
Unsanitized wildcards or special matching symbols in user-provided strings can enable attacks and lead to unwanted behavior.
Using untrusted inputs in a log statement can enable attackers to break the log's format, forge log entries, and bypass log monitors.
Scripts generated from unsanitized inputs can lead to malicious behavior and inadvertently running code remotely.
Insufficient sanitization of potentially untrusted URLs on the server side can allow server requests to unwanted destinations.
Untrusted user imports in the importlib.import_module()
function allow attacks.
LDAP queries that rely on potentially untrusted inputs can allow attackers to read or modify sensitive data, run code, and perform other unwanted actions.
