Explanation

The correct answer is:

HTTP Parameter Pollution

Explanation: HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP) occurs when an attacker submits multiple input parameters with the same name (e.g., in the query string, POST data, or cookies). This can lead to unexpected behavior in the application, including overwriting values, misinterpreting input, or exposing vulnerabilities that can be exploited on both the server-side and client-side. It often causes issues like bypassing input validation, leading to security risks.
