Web security is critical for protecting your applications and users from malicious attacks. Learn essential security practices to safeguard your web applications against common vulnerabilities.
Common Security Vulnerabilities
đXSS (Cross-Site Scripting)
Attackers inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
đCSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
Tricks users into performing actions they didn't intend to make.
đSQL Injection

đAuthentication Issues

Security Best Practices
đĄī¸ HTTPS Everywhere
Always use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit. Use HSTS headers to enforce HTTPS connections.
đ Secure Password Storage
Use bcrypt or Argon2 for password hashing. Never store passwords in plain text.

Validate and sanitize all user inputs on both client and server side. Never trust user input.
đ Security Headers
Implement security headers: CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
