Enterprise applications rely heavily on logging for debugging and monitoring, but this opens up vulnerabilities like log injection attacks. These occur when attackers manipulate input data to insert malicious code into logs. To prevent this, it's crucial to sanitize user inputs, carefully consider what data gets logged, use structured logging, and opt for logging libraries over simple console.log. Tools like the Snyk IDE extension for VS Code can help identify vulnerabilities in Node.js applications.
