I feel like static code analysis could help prevent these issues during development, but I’m not sure if it’s a direct mitigation strategy for an ongoing attack.

I’m a bit confused about whether secure cookies would apply here. I thought they were more for session management than input validation.

This question feels familiar; I think we had a practice question about mitigating XSS attacks, and input sanitization was a key point there.

I remember we discussed input sanitization in class, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best choice for this specific attack.
