In this talk, we’ll dive into two of the most common and dangerous web application vulnerabilities: SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). You'll learn how attackers exploit SQLi to gain unauthorized access to databases — and even achieve remote code execution (RCE) in certain scenarios. We'll also explore the different flavors of XSS, including reflected, stored, and blind XSS, with real-world examples like cookie theft and session hijacking. Whether you're a developer, security enthusiast, or ethical hacker in training, this session will give you a foundational understanding of these exploits, how they work, and why they matter.
