A security analyst runs a web application scan using Burp Suite against a company's online portal. The scan report highlights several critical SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerabilities. Which of the following is the MOST likely root cause of these vulnerabilities?
The most likely root cause of SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerabilities is inadequate or missing input validation. SQLi attacks occur when an application does not properly sanitize, filter, or validate data received from a user before using it in a database query. Outdated TLS certificates, missing CSRF tokens, and permissive CORS policies are all valid security concerns, but they are not the direct cause of SQL injection vulnerabilities.
