PHP is a popular programming language for web development, but it is also commonly exploited.
PHP's popularity makes it an attractive target for attackers due to its widespread usage.
Legacy code, misconfigurations, and common loopholes like input validation and weak session management contribute to PHP vulnerabilities.
To anticipate and prevent PHP exploits, developers should stay updated, follow secure coding practices, employ web application firewalls, use security headers, and conduct regular security audits.
