During a penetration test, you are evaluating a collection of scripts that includes various procedures to handle different tasks. One of the procedures is meant to sanitize user input for a web application form to prevent injection attacks.

Which of the following is a best practice that the procedure should implement to prevent malicious data from compromising the server?

  • Using parameterized queries with placeholders for user input.

  • Escaping all special characters in the input to ensure they are treated as literal strings.

  • Restricting the length of the input to a maximum number of characters allowed.

  • Hashing the user input before appending it to the server-side script.
