  1. This is what i found in the OWASP website:

    Code Injection – allows attacker to add his own code that is then executed by the application.

    Command Injection – attacker extends the default functionality of the application, which execute system commands, without the necessity of injecting code.

    XSS – malicious scripts are injected into otherwise benign and trusted websites. XSS attacks occur when an attacker uses a web application to send malicious code, generally in the form of a browser side script, to a different end user.

    But i’m confused as to which is the correct answer. They are so close to me.
