I came across this training lab not too long ago and found it rather enjoyable! As I was going through the exercises I found myself checking to see how the vulnerable code was written and how the issues could be remediated.
Since this is geared towards beginners, I thought it might be helpful to provide brief explanations along with links to the relevant lines of source code. For each level/OWASP vulnerability, I've added a "Why" section to each "Solution" area linking to the sink line on Github along with some explanation.
