Answer: A

The top item of the OWASP 2013 OWASP's Top Ten Project Most Critical Web Application Security
Risks is injection.
Injection flaws, such as SQL, OS, and LDAP injection occur when untrusted data is sent to an
interpreter as part of a command or query. The attacker's hostile data can trick the interpreter into
executing unintended commands or accessing data without proper authorization.
