I think it's Input Validation too. No checks on user input.

I guess it could also relate to account management, but it seems more like a failure in how inputs are handled.

This question feels familiar; I think we practiced a similar one where input validation was the key issue.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about output sanitization being important for preventing these kinds of attacks too.

I think this might be related to input validation since the attacker used a SQL injection technique.
