SQL Injection in Bolt AI-Generated Database Queries
Your Bolt.new application contains SQL injection vulnerabilities in its database queries. The AI-generated code concatenates user input directly into SQL strings instead of using parameterized queries, allowing attackers to manipulate your database.
An attacker can exploit this by entering specially crafted input into form fields, search boxes, or URL parameters. For example, entering ' OR 1=1 -- into a login form could bypass authentication entirely, or entering '; DROP TABLE users; -- could delete your entire users table.
This vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can go completely unnoticed during normal use. The app works perfectly with legitimate input, but an attacker with basic SQL knowledge can read, modify, or delete any data in your database.
Error Messages You Might See
Error: syntax error at or near "'"
PrismaClientKnownRequestError: Raw query failed
ERROR: unterminated quoted string at or near "' OR"
Database query returned unexpected number of rows
Common Causes
- String concatenation in queries — Bolt generated code like `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '${userId}'` instead of using parameterized queries
- Raw SQL with template literals — Using Prisma's $queryRawUnsafe or Supabase's rpc with unsanitized user input
- Dynamic table or column names — Building queries with user-controlled table names or sort columns without whitelisting
- Search functionality with LIKE — Search queries built by concatenating user input: WHERE name LIKE '%${searchTerm}%'
- Filter parameters passed directly — URL query parameters inserted into WHERE clauses without sanitization
How to Fix It
- Use parameterized queries everywhere — Replace string concatenation with parameterized queries: prisma.$queryRaw`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${userId}`
- Use Prisma's query builder — Let Prisma handle parameterization: prisma.user.findMany({ where: { name: { contains: searchTerm } } })
- Whitelist dynamic identifiers — If you need dynamic column names, validate them against an allowlist: const allowed = ['name', 'date', 'price']; if (!allowed.includes(sortBy)) throw new Error('Invalid sort')
- Use Supabase client safely — The Supabase JS client automatically parameterizes: supabase.from('users').select().eq('id', userId)
- Test with SQLi payloads — Enter ' OR 1=1 -- into your form fields and search boxes to check if they return unexpected results
- Add input validation — Validate and sanitize all user inputs with a library like zod or validator.js before they reach any query

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds. Outside of work I love hip hop, the Celtics, professional wrestling, magic the gathering, photography, drumming, and guitars (both making and playing them)

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

Solo dev shipping production apps with AI-assisted development. I specialize in rescuing broken Lovable/Bolt/Cursor builds and taking them to production. 10+ apps shipped including SaaS CRMs, gaming platforms, real estate tools, and Discord bots. Stack: Next.js 16, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Prisma. I use Claude Code with 50+ custom skills for rapid delivery. Average turnaround: 2-4 weeks from broken prototype to production.

Full-stack developer experienced in fixing and deploying AI-generated apps from Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, and Replit. I specialize in debugging Supabase integration issues (auth flows, RLS policies, database connections), fixing broken deployments, resolving routing/blank screen problems, and cleaning up messy React/Vite codebases. I also build production apps with the Claude API and have shipped a Mac desktop dev tool (Nexterm from scratch. Based in Hong Kong, fast turnaround.
Alvin Voo
I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Is Prisma safe from SQL injection by default?
Prisma's query builder (findMany, create, etc.) is safe by default. However, Prisma's $queryRaw requires tagged template literals for safety. Using $queryRawUnsafe or string concatenation with $queryRaw bypasses protection.
How can I test my app for SQL injection?
Enter these payloads in text fields: ' OR 1=1 --, '; DROP TABLE test; --, and ' UNION SELECT null, null --. If the app behaves unexpectedly (returns all records, errors with SQL syntax), you have a vulnerability.
