Securing Forms

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

Securing Forms

Post by CDilla4Rilla »

Hello All.

I've had a few scripts on websites I've programmed hacked by people who upload malicious code via upload forms. I am not sure how I can secure my forms so they won't be vulnerable to these attacks, which at times can compromise my server. Does anyone have any pointers for handling this?

Thanks.

We've had a bunch of discussions on validating uploads and forms. Start by digging those out.

Other than that, we're going to need to see your code to really point out flaws.
