Template Injection
Template Injection is a security vulnerability that can occur in web applications. It happens when the application allows user input to be included in a template file without proper validation or sanitization.
Let’s say you have a website and you allow users to input comments. If you don’t properly validate or sanitize the input before adding it to your webpage, an attacker could inject malicious code that can be executed on your server or in the browser of your users. This could lead to sensitive information being stolen, unauthorized access to your server, or other harmful consequences.
To prevent template injection, it’s important to always sanitize and validate user input before using it in a template file. This includes checking for special characters and restricting what kind of input is allowed. It’s also important to keep your software up-to-date and have strong security protocols in place to prevent attacks.
