The image shows a scan result indicating various security issues for a web application. The issues are categorized by severity, with Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) identified as one of the high-severity issues. Given the options and the context of storing Personally Identifiable Information (PII), the issue that should be remediated first is: A. SQL injection SQL injection vulnerabilities are critical because they can allow attackers to access and manipulate sensitive data, including PII, directly from the database. This type of vulnerability often poses a higher risk than others, including XSS, as it can lead to data breaches and potentially complete compromise of the application and its data.
