While input validation is an essential technique for ensuring that users can only enter data that meets specific criteria, it is not foolproof. Attackers can still potentially exploit vulnerabilities that input validation may not catch. To effectively mitigate the threat of exploitation, a combination of strategies, including secure coding practices, such as bounds checking and the use of canaries, as well as runtime protection mechanisms, are required in addition to input validation.
