We see clickjacking pop up more often than most folks expect—a user thinks they’re clicking a harmless button, but behind the scenes, they’re triggering something dangerous because your site’s been tucked away inside a hidden frame. It’s not just a…
We’ve all had that moment—opening up the browser, watching our web app flicker to life, and wondering, “Is this safe?” Not just from broken code or missed logic, but from real, lurking threats. We’re talking about scripts sneaking in, maybe…
We train developers every day to spot the weak points in their JavaScript API calls, especially when using fetch or axios. We’ve seen how easy it is for mistakes to creep in—tokens exposed, bad input slipping through, or sensitive data…
We’ve all used localStorage and sessionStorage to speed up our web apps, but we’ve learned they’re not as safe as they seem. Since any script on the page can poke around in these storages, we’re always on guard for XSS…

Most folks think JavaScript gives them free rein over the DOM, but it’s not that simple. One wrong move, and you’re staring down XSS issues, sluggish load times, or your site dropping off Google’s radar. There’s a balance to strike,…
You notice pretty quick that cross-site scripting, XSS, as most call it, doesn’t just mess with code, it messes with trust. Attackers slip in their own scripts, and suddenly your users’ info isn’t safe, and your site’s name takes a…
Securing database access in Python is crucial. Hardcoding credentials or neglecting encryption often leads to data breaches. To protect your application, use environment variables for sensitive data, implement parameterized queries to avoid SQL injection, and rely on libraries like SQLAlchemy…
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a tricky vulnerability in Flask apps that can let attackers inject malicious scripts. Protecting against XSS isn’t just about adding code; it requires a clear understanding of data flow and potential tampering points. Start by utilizing…
Command injection poses a real threat to applications, especially when using Python’s subprocess module. To prevent these vulnerabilities, developers should validate inputs and always check and sanitize user inputs. It’s vital to pass command arguments as a list instead of…
