✨ (Snyk) Fixed finding: "SQL Injection"

Remediation

This change fixes "SQL Injection" (id = python/Sqli) identified by Snyk.

Details

SQL queries that are not parameterized can potentially be exploited by attackers to perform SQL injection attacks. This can enable unauthorized access to the database, resulting in sensitive data leakage or worse. To prevent this, you should always use parameterized queries when interacting with a database. This codemod fixes raw SQL queries that are not parameterized by replacing them with parameterized queries.

DryRun Security Summary

The code changes address SQL injection vulnerabilities in two files by implementing parameterized queries, while acknowledging that multiple other security issues remain unresolved in the application.

Expand for full summary

Summary:

The provided code changes address several security vulnerabilities in the application, with a focus on mitigating SQL injection vulnerabilities. The changes in the app.py file replace the use of string interpolation to construct SQL queries with parameterized queries, which is a more secure approach to handling user input. This is a positive step towards improving the security of the application, as SQL injection is a well-known and dangerous vulnerability.

However, the code still contains several other security issues that need to be addressed, such as hardcoded AWS credentials, command injection, unrestricted file uploads, cross-site scripting (XSS), XML external entity (XXE) injection, and server-side request forgery (SSRF). These additional vulnerabilities should be addressed to improve the overall security posture of the application.

The changes in the main.py file also address a SQL injection vulnerability by replacing string formatting with parameterized queries, which is a security improvement. Additionally, the code change highlights the need for proper logging and monitoring of security-related actions, such as game deletions, to enhance incident response, forensics, and compliance capabilities.

Overall, while the code changes are a step in the right direction, there are still several other security vulnerabilities present in the codebase that need to be addressed to ensure the application is secure.

Files Changed:

• insecure-app/app.py: The changes in this file address a SQL injection vulnerability by replacing string interpolation with parameterized queries, which is a more secure approach to handling user input in SQL queries. However, the code still contains several other security issues, such as hardcoded AWS credentials, command injection, unrestricted file uploads, cross-site scripting (XSS), XML external entity (XXE) injection, and server-side request forgery (SSRF), which need to be addressed.
• insecure-api/main.py: The changes in this file also address a SQL injection vulnerability by replacing string formatting with parameterized queries, which is a security improvement. Additionally, the code change highlights the need for proper logging and monitoring of security-related actions, such as game deletions, to enhance incident response, forensics, and compliance capabilities.
