Common Security Threats

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): This is a type of attack where malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign and trusted websites. XSS attacks are a number one security threat on the web.
• SQL Injection: This is an attack where an attacker can execute arbitrary SQL code on your database.

Best Practices
