HTTP doesn't really address security, but a web framework can provide some
security, such as SQL escaping to prevent sql injection, along with URL
escaping to prevent URL injection through url variables. Using SQL
prepared statements instead of regular sql queries should help, but I've
heard that even SQL prepared statements can be injected.

CSRF protection.. that's a good question.. this guy has an interesting
article and blog comments on it:
