Securing application from vulnerable inputs through middleware in dotnet core

Securing Applications with ASP.NET Core OWIN Middleware Against Payload Attacks Introduction:  Cybersecurity is a crucial aspect of modern application development. One area of concern is preventing attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in request payloads. This article explores how to use ASP.NET Core OWIN middleware to enhance the security of your applications by addressing payload-based attacks. Vulnerability:  Payload Attacks Payload attacks involve sending malicious data in the request payload to exploit vulnerabilities. These attacks can lead to various security breaches, including data exposure, injection attacks, and remote code execution. Using OWIN Middleware:  ASP.NET Core provides the OWIN (Open Web Interface for .NET) middleware pipeline, which can be customized to intercept and process requests before they reach the application's core logic. This provides an opportunity to implement security measures. Sample Code Implementing Payload Inspection Middleware: Here'
