Indirect Code Execution

Indirect Code Execution

Indirect code execution refers to executing code from an external source, such as an input file, database, or external API, rather than writing the code directly into the program.

It is important to understand the risks of indirect code execution because malicious external sources can inject code and perform malicious activities on the system where the code is executed. It is therefore important to validate and remediate the input before output to ensure the safety of the system.
