input sanitization

About this tag
Input sanitization is a critical security practice that involves cleaning or validating user-supplied data to prevent injection attacks and other exploits. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover real-world cases such as CVE-2023-27533 in curl, where unfiltered TELNET input allowed special-element injection, and ASCII smuggling in Google Gemini, where hidden Unicode characters bypassed AI prompt filters. These examples highlight the importance of robust input validation in both traditional software and emerging AI systems. The tag encompasses topics like patch guidance, vulnerability analysis, and debates over sanitization boundaries in enterprise and developer contexts.
