Why Protection From LFI And RFI Attacks Is Also Important?

This is an era where you have to be more thoughtful about every single attack: be it a second or a minute. But we often pay attention to the bigger attacks and ignore the simplest and less vulnerable attacks. Even if they don’t get publicity in the headlines, they are still very disastrous. LFI (Local File Execution) and RFI (Remote File Execution) attacks are such threats. They are quite similar to the treacherous and notorious XSS attacks because they use the same formula: Code Injection technique. LFI and RFI attacks are less sophisticated and therefore, are easily controllable. Although, if the security brigade doesn’t take it seriously then that can prove quite evil. More than 23% of people witnessed web application attacks were LFI and RFI attacks.
