The Dark Side of Web Development: CSRF, XSS, SQL Injection, and CORS Attacks..!

Welcome to the “Java Interview Prep” series!

This one’s close to home — because I blanked when I got asked about CSRF and XSS attacks in a recent Java interview.
It’s not that I didn’t know about them… but I didn’t prepare them.

So let’s fix that — not just for me, but for you too.

In this article, we’ll walk through the most common web attacks that Java developers might not focus on — but absolutely should. We’ll understand:

• What they are 🔍
• Why they matter 🎯
• Real Spring Boot code examples 💻
• How to prevent them 🔐
• And what to say when asked in an interview 🎙️

Let’s dive in — one vulnerability at a time.
