[WEB SECURITY] RE: blog post and open source vulnerabilities to blog about

CWE, CLASP, and some other information sources have a number of code 
snippets that highlight various weaknesses.  In CWE, this code is easily 
extractable from the XML by grabbing the Demonstrative_Examples element, 
and we've even conveniently labeled examples with the various languages. 
You could also grab the CVE real-world examples from the Observed_Examples 
element.

Note that the code examples are by no means complete, but they might be 
good enough to start with.  If you pore through CVE, you will soon realize 
that it can be very time-consuming to go from a real-world open-source 
vuln report to the actual code snippet.
