Chapter 8. Security – Avoiding Common Vulnerabilities
I encourage you not to skip this chapter; I think it's one of the most important in this book. In this chapter you are going to get some hands-on white hat hacking experience. You are going to intentionally create some common vulnerabilities, so you can understand the security implications of your code and be able to avoid similar mistakes in your own extensions.
In this chapter, you will learn:
Why extension developers should care about security
How to simulate common vulnerabilities
What steps you can take to make your extension more secure
