Direct answer
The most common risk when working with base64-url-decoder is accepting a plausible-looking result without checking decoded bytes, character set and malformed input handling.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: decode a known input and verify that the recovered content matches.
- Check: decoded bytes, character set and malformed input handling.
- Limitation: decoding untrusted material can reveal unsafe or unexpected content.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the output is correct because the operation completed. Instead, inspect decoded bytes, character set and malformed input handling.
- Using production or confidential material as the first test. Use a known encoded sample that includes punctuation instead.
- Ignoring compatibility: decoding untrusted material can reveal unsafe or unexpected content.
