Understanding data security issues # The first thing that comes to mind when one thinks about security issues is typically some poorly written code that is prone to RCE, XSS, and similar attacks. But hardly anyone deliberately sets out with “I’m going to write some really bad, vulnerable code today!” intent in mind. Code is always written for a reason, driven by functional demands, culture, and processes. From a software engineer’s point of view, fixing a security issue equals removing an opportunity to exploit something.
