A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Buffer overflows, SQL injection, and Cross-site scripting (XSS) are all attacks that exploit insufficient input validation. Buffer overflows occur when unchecked input exceeds memory boundaries. SQL injection happens when unvalidated input is concatenated into SQL queries. XSS results when unsanitized input is rendered in web pages. Authentication and Authorization (Options D, E) are security CONTROLS, not threat categories - they help prevent attacks but aren't attack types themselves. The claimed answer correctly identifies the three input validation threats.
