This blog post highlights the significance of integrating security practices into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It emphasizes the need to address security from the early stages of development to minimize the cost and impact of security flaws. The post outlines the phases of a secure SDLC, including planning, design, implementation, verification, and release. It also emphasizes the importance of security education for all team members involved. By adopting a secure SDLC approach, organizations can ensure their software is not only functional but also resilient against security threats in today's digital landscape.

This post examines Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in WordPress, focusing on CVE-2021-24316 in the Mediumish theme. We explore how attackers can exploit improper input handling to inject malicious scripts via URL parameters, compromising both users and websites. We provide strategies to prevent XSS attacks, including regular updates, WAF deployment, and input sanitization. Additionally, we discuss methods to minimize XSS impact, such as using "HttpOnly" cookies and implementing Content Security Policy headers. By applying these measures, you can enhance WordPress site security and reduce vulnerability exploitation risks.
