A company has commissioned you to evaluate the security of their web application. According to the OWASP Testing Guide, which activity would you conduct to identify and mitigate input validation issues?
Checking for Exposed Sensitive Information
Performing Configuration Audits
Testing for Input Validation
Identifying Outdated Components
The correct answer is 'Testing for Input Validation' because the OWASP Testing Guide emphasizes the importance of validating user inputs to prevent various types of attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, and other injection flaws. Each input field should be tested to ensure it properly handles and sanitizes user input. Other answers are not correct because they focus on different aspects of security testing, like identifying outdated components or performing configuration audits which do not primarily address input validation issues.
