SQL Injection Mitigations
high severity
Recommended mitigations for SQL Injection
Use Parameterized Queries
Effectiveness: high
Effort: medium
Code Mitigation

Use prepared statements and parameterized queries to ensure that user input is properly sanitized before being included in SQL queries.

// Instead of this (vulnerable): const query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '" + username + "'"; db.execute(query); // Do this (secure): const query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?"; db.execute(query, [username]);

Implementation Steps

  1. Identify all affected components and code areas
  2. Create a test plan to verify the mitigation
  3. Implement the changes in a development environment
  4. Test thoroughly to ensure the threat is mitigated
  5. Deploy to production with appropriate monitoring
Input Validation
Effectiveness: medium
Effort: medium
Code Mitigation

Implement strict input validation to reject potentially malicious input before it reaches the database layer.

// Example input validation function validateInput(input) { // Remove any potentially dangerous characters const sanitized = input.replace(/[;'"`\]/g, ''); // Check if input matches expected pattern const isValid = /^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/.test(sanitized); if (!isValid) { throw new Error('Invalid input format'); } return sanitized; } // Usage try { const safeInput = validateInput(userInput); // Proceed with using safeInput } catch (error) { // Handle validation error console.error(error.message); }

Implementation Steps

  1. Identify all affected components and code areas
  2. Create a test plan to verify the mitigation
  3. Implement the changes in a development environment
  4. Test thoroughly to ensure the threat is mitigated
  5. Deploy to production with appropriate monitoring
Use ORM
Effectiveness: high
Effort: high
Architecture Mitigation

Use an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library that handles SQL escaping automatically.

Implementation Steps

  1. Identify all affected components and code areas
  2. Create a test plan to verify the mitigation
  3. Implement the changes in a development environment
  4. Test thoroughly to ensure the threat is mitigated
  5. Deploy to production with appropriate monitoring
