Likelihood of Attack
Low
Typical Severity

Overview
Summary
An attacker removes or disables filtering mechanisms on the target application. Input filters prevent invalid data from being sent to an application (for example, overly large inputs that might cause a buffer overflow or other malformed inputs that may not be correctly handled by an application). Input filters might also be designed to constrained executable content.
Prerequisites
The target application must utilize some sort of filtering mechanism (input, output, or data masking).
