This was my thought as well, sanitize your inputs! Are they not quoting/casting to string before input?
Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.
Legacy systems still handle more traffic than modern ones, I’d wager
Word press code, and plugins, do not sanitize out of the box. You have to call an additional function, each time, that is not provided automatically. Many home made plugins miss that; many popular plugins used to be home made ones
Wordpress is a sin against mankind.
Let's take a blog and slap a whole e-commerce system on it through a plugin and let it auto translate with another one, what could go wrong. wait why is everything so slow, oh i need additional plugins for caching and one more for functionality XYZ why is everything broken now?!?
Edit: Sorry, my app had a hiccup and posted my comment several times
Maybe your app is based on WordPress :'D
