Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll fix bugs in your code that are vulnerable to injection attacks. Injection attacks are a serious risk to your application, allowing attackers to steal data, insert their own data, or make your system perform in unexpected ways. You’ll harden your app against the different types of injection attacks such as XML injection, serialized Java objects, JSON deserialization, Zipbomb attacks, and many more exciting attacks which require special defenses.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
