raw input

Unfiltered source material

Raw input is data in its original, unprocessed form—exactly as entered by a user or received from a source, before any validation, formatting, or transformation.

In programming, handling raw input without sanitization creates security vulnerabilities: Never trust raw input from users.

The term emphasizes that the data hasn't been cleaned or verified yet.
