cakePHP security

Question

I am thinking of using cakePHP to build a web app. My question is how much of security stuff will I have to code myself to prevent (SQL injection etc)? What security stuff cakePHP takes care of by itself and what will I have to code?

Answer 1

cake does a lot of things automatically but some not. depending on how secure you want you forms you should also consider "white-listing": details

the easiest method would be to use the security component.
