LAB 343 – Defending Go Applications Against Command Injection

Course Overview

A Command Injection vulnerability arises when an application concatenates untrusted data into a string that executes shell or operating system commands. This vulnerability allows hackers to execute unexpected commands on the target system with the privileges of the vulnerable application, potentially leading to complete control over the application. This Defending GO Applications Against Command Injection Skill Lab provides a virtual environment containing a vulnerable application with its complete source code, enabling developers to train in identifying and mitigating Command Injection vulnerabilities. After completing this lab, learners will understand how to defend Go applications against Command Injection vulnerabilities through hands-on experience in testing for these vulnerabilities and implementing appropriate mitigations.
