Description

Building SQL queries in psycopg2 by concatenating variables directly into the query string can allow user input to change the structure of the SQL command. This exposes your code to SQL injection attacks when user data is not properly handled.

Description

User input is being directly concatenated into SQL queries in asyncpg without proper sanitization or parameterization. This practice allows attackers to manipulate the database query and potentially run unintended SQL commands.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could read, modify, or delete sensitive database data, escalate privileges, or compromise the entire application. This can lead to data breaches, data loss, and significant harm to the application’s integrity and security.

Description

User input from the ’event’ object is being directly included in SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization. This makes the code vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, where malicious input can manipulate the database query.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could read, modify, or delete database records, gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, or compromise the entire database. This could lead to data breaches, loss of integrity, and serious harm to the application’s users and reputation.

Description

The code builds SQL queries by directly inserting user input into SQL strings, which makes it easy for attackers to inject malicious SQL commands. This practice is unsafe because it doesn’t properly separate user data from SQL code.

Description

User input from the ’event’ object is being used directly in SQL queries without proper sanitization. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code if the input is not handled safely. Always use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.

Description

Your code builds SQL queries using values taken directly from the event object, which may contain user input. Without proper sanitization or parameterization, this allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could manipulate database queries to access, modify, or delete data they shouldn’t have permission to, potentially exposing sensitive information or compromising the integrity of your application.

Description

User input from the ’event’ object is being used directly in SQL queries with pymssql without proper sanitization. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL statements, creating a risk of SQL injection.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary SQL commands on your database—potentially stealing, modifying, or deleting sensitive data, or even taking control of the database server. This compromises data integrity and can lead to data breaches or system downtime.

Description

User input from the ’event’ object is being used directly in SQL queries without proper sanitization. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code by manipulating input data, making the query unsafe.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could read, modify, or delete database records, gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, or potentially compromise the entire database. This can lead to data breaches, loss of data integrity, and severe reputational or financial damage.

Description

Using QuerySet.extra() in Django can allow raw SQL fragments into queries without proper protection, making your code vulnerable to SQL injection. Instead, use Django’s ORM methods and parameterized queries to safely handle user input.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could manipulate SQL queries to access, modify, or delete sensitive database data, potentially leading to data breaches, loss of integrity, or complete compromise of the application’s database. This can expose confidential information and severely damage user trust and organizational reputation.

Description

Extending Django’s expression or SQL-related classes can introduce SQL injection risks if user input is not carefully handled or sanitized. Custom expressions may allow unsafe data to be incorporated directly into SQL queries.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could inject malicious SQL commands through unsanitized input, leading to unauthorized data access, data leaks, or manipulation of the database. This can result in exposure of sensitive information or compromise of the entire application.
