Re: Security handling details - customers keep asking!!!

Security is something that is left to the developer to implement. If
you follow conventions you can avoid sql injection attacks. If you use
the Security component you can prevent CSRFattacks. If you use proper
methods to escape any user input you can prevent XSS attacks.

So cakephp has features to increase security, however you are still
required to implement them manually. So it is still possible to make a
very insecure cakephp application!

Cheers,
Adam
