What are the acceptable alternatives to automatic DML execution during component initialization?
Answer
Acceptable alternatives to automatic DML execution during component initialization include:
1. Requiring manual user interaction, such as a button click, to trigger DML operations.
2. Ensuring the class performing DML operations enforces "with sharing" to respect sharing rules.
3. Including access checks like `IsCreatable()` before executing `Database.Insert`.
These practices align with secure coding standards and help mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Reasoning
The FAQ content is technically accurate and doesn't contain outdated information. The recommendations are solid security practices. However, the answer could be slightly more conversational and direct per the style guidelines, while maintaining all the existing technical content and structure.
For security rule associations:
- ApexCSRF relates directly to the core issue this FAQ addresses - preventing CSRF attacks by avoiding automatic DML execution during component initialization and requiring user interaction instead (point 1)
- ApexCRUDViolation relates to point 3 which discusses including access checks like `IsCreatable()` before executing DML operations
- ApexSharingViolations relates to point 2 which discusses enforcing "with sharing" to respect sharing rules when performing DML operations
All three rules address the fundamental security concerns that this FAQ is teaching developers to avoid.
