What’s the security issue having
<?php
$var = $_GET['var'];
if ($variable)
{
// sensitive data
}
is it possible that the attacker can get to sensitive data somehow?
The code sample provides a security risk in case
register_globalsis on. In that case someone can pass?variable=1and yourif()will be evaluated to true. It’s best practice always to initialize your variables.
