Web Vulnerabilities

Untrusted Input

Also: user input, attacker-controlled data

Any data your program did not create itself: form fields, URLs, file names, uploads, API replies, and text an AI agent reads.

In more detail

If a value could have been chosen or altered by someone other than the developer, it is untrusted until the program has checked it. That includes the obvious (a search box) and the easy to forget (a file name inside an upload, an HTTP header, a web page an agent fetches). Most web vulnerabilities are untrusted input reaching something powerful without a check.
