The overwhelming majority of web app security issues, even the really complicated and sexy sounding ones, at their core are just “script kiddie style hacking”. Injection attacks and RCEs like this Jinja injection may seem “script kiddie” but they are a dime-a-dozen.

It is folly to assume that most companies don’t have similar weaknesses somewhere in their stacks. In the past, they were just sufficiently buried that they would get noticed and fixed before an attacker found them. With AI able to probe at thousands of these potential weaknesses per second… that’s not so true anymore.
