Description: Vulnerability Information AppSecAI Vulnerability ID: 69654fbefc355c4beda09b70 Vulnerability: SQL Injection CWE Classification: CWE-89 Severity: Medium File: src/main/java/org/owasp/benchmark/testcode/BenchmarkTest02537.java Detection Rule: java.lang.security.audit.sqli.tainted-sql-from-http-request.tainted-sql-from-http-request Description: Detected input from a HTTPServletRequest going into a SQL sink or statement. This could lead to SQL injection if variables in the SQL statement are not properly sanitized. Use parameterized SQL queries or properly sanitize user input instead. Triage Analysis Status: Confirmed vulnerability Security Assessment: Severity: Critical Confidence: 100% Analysis Unsanitized user input from request.getParameterValues() flows directly into SQL query via string concatenation at line 53. The doSomething() method passes the parameter through without any sanitization (condition at line 75 always evaluates true: 207 > 200). The resulting SQL query concatenates user input into the PASSWORD field, enabling classic SQL injection attacks (e.g., ' OR '1'='1). The security guideline about SeparateClassRequest.getTheValue() does not apply since this code uses the standard HttpServletRequest.getParameterValues() method. Recommended Remediation Replace string concatenation with parameterized queries using PreparedStatement: PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT * from USERS where USERNAME='foo' and PASSWORD=?"); stmt.setString(1, bar); Alternatively, use Spring's JdbcTemplate with named parameters or properly escape user input using a vetted SQL escaping library. Remediation Details Fix Description: The SQL injection vulnerability has been fixed. Here's what was changed: Security Issue Fixed: The code concatenated user input directly into a SQL query string, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL commands. An attacker could submit a password value like ' OR '1'='1 to bypass authentication or '; DROP TABLE USERS; -- to execute destructive commands. Fix Applied: Replaced string concatenation with a parameterized query using Spring's JDBCTemplate.update() method: SQL Query: Changed from "... PASSWORD='" + bar + "'" to "... PASSWORD=?" using a placeholder Execution: Changed from batchUpdate(sql) to update(sql, bar) to pass the parameter securely Message: Updated user-facing message to reflect the use of parameterized queries Why This Is Secure: Parameterized queries treat user input as data, not executable SQL code. The database driver automatically escapes special characters, preventing injection attacks. The bar variable is passed as a separate parameter and cannot alter the SQL command structure. Migration Steps: No migration steps required. This is a drop-in replacement that maintains complete functional compatibility with the original code. The query behavior remains identical for legitimate inputs, but now safely handles malicious input attempts. Changes Made: Updated source code with secure implementation This PR was generated automatically to address a security vulnerability. Please review the changes carefully before merging.
