OData Injection: The Hidden Threat Lurking in Low-Code Platforms
The rise of low-code/no-code platforms has empowered citizen developers but also introduced the threat of OData injection. This sneaky attack vector can expose sensitive data, especially on the Microsoft Power Platform. With traditional security measures lacking, it’s a hacker’s playground where citizen developers unknowingly leave the gates wide open.
Hot Take:
LCNC platforms might be the new “easy bake oven” of app development, but OData injection is the secret sauce that can turn your cake into a data disaster. While citizen developers are busy making apps with no more than a dash of code, hackers are lining up to feast on the buffet of vulnerabilities served on a silver platter. Bon appétit, cybercriminals!
Key Points:
- LCNC platforms are popular but bring security challenges, such as OData injection.
- OData is a simple query language used in LCNC environments, making it easy for developers but also for attackers.
- OData injection can expose sensitive data across a range of data sources, unlike SQL injection.
- Security practices for OData are underdeveloped and require custom validation mechanisms.
- Collaboration between security teams and LCNC developers is crucial for combating these vulnerabilities.
