Replit database

SQL Injection Vulnerability on Replit

App is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. Malicious input can modify or extract database data. Security audit fails.

String concatenation in SQL queries allows attackers to inject SQL code.

Common Causes

  1. Building SQL with string concatenation
  2. Not using parameterized queries
  3. Direct user input in WHERE clause
  4. JDBC without prepared statements
  5. JPA without proper query methods

How to Fix It

Always use parameterized queries: prepared statements or JPA. Use Spring Data JPA with @Query("... WHERE name = :name") and @Param. Never concatenate user input into SQL strings. Use ORM (JPA/Hibernate) which handles escaping. Test security with OWASP ZAP or Burp Suite.
