Head-Slapping Drupal Security Moments

in planet-drupal, security

Today I learned an important lesson in the realm of Drupal module development, namely a lesson in what I will refer to as: coder complacency, but this lesson could just as well be called a lesson in coder humility. Having earned my daily bread as a web developer for nearly 8 years now and having been a Drupal module developer for the better part of 5 years one could say I am comfortable around code. But, in code land – just as in many other aspects of life – with comfort can also come peril. When we are comfortable and complacent we drop our guard and lower our defenses.
