I’m leaning towards input validation too, but I wonder if authentication plays a role in preventing these types of attacks as well.

Secure cookies seem relevant, but I don’t see how they would directly address injection attacks.

I remember a practice question where static code analysis was mentioned, but I feel like it’s more about finding vulnerabilities than preventing them.
