Understanding Code Vulnerabilities: Real-World Examples and How Theyโ€™re Exploited

Hey folks! ๐Ÿ‘‹

I just published a detailed blog post on my personal website where I explore one of the most critical topics in software development โ€” code vulnerabilities.

In this article, I dive into:

  • ๐Ÿ” What a code vulnerability really is
  • ๐Ÿ’ฅ How hackers exploit vulnerabilities in real-world applications
  • ๐Ÿง  Practical examples like:
    • SQL Injection (a common web app attack vector)
    • Remote Code Execution (RCE) in PyYAML (CVE-2017-18342)
  • โœ… Developer-friendly tips on how to prevent these issues
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Secure coding practices that every developer should know

If you're a backend dev, Pythonista, DevOps engineer, or just passionate about secure software โ€” this one's for you.
