PHP code injection
Summary: PortSwigger describes server-side code injection as occurring when an application incorporates user-controllable data into a string that is dynamically evaluated by a code interpreter, letting crafted input modify the executed code if the data is not strictly validated. The write-up rates the issue High and states such vulnerabilities usually lead to complete compromise of the application's data and functionality, and often of the hosting server.
What's compelling: The consequence named here is not a single exposed record but complete compromise of the application and often the server itself, which can then be used as a platform for further attacks against other systems.
