Description#
Your code is building SQL queries using values taken directly from the AWS Lambda $EVENT object without proper sanitization. This approach allows user-controlled input to be included in SQL statements, making the application vulnerable to SQL injection.
Impact#
If exploited, an attacker could manipulate database queries to access, modify, or delete data, bypass authentication, or execute administrative operations. This could lead to data breaches, data loss, or compromise of the entire application backend.
