Assistant sqli fix suggestion

Detected a sequelize statement that is tainted by user-input. This could lead to SQL injection if the variable is user-controlled and is not properly sanitized. In order to prevent SQL injection, it is recommended to use parameterized queries or prepared statements.

Semgrep Assistant suggests the following fix: Use parameterized queries with Sequelize to prevent SQL injection.

View step-by-step instructions

1. Change the SQL query string to use parameterized query syntax. Replace the dynamic values with placeholders.

   const query = "SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ((name LIKE :criteria OR description LIKE :criteria) AND deletedAt IS NULL) ORDER BY name";

2. Pass the dynamic values as a second parameter to the sequelize.query method in an object.

   models.sequelize.query(query, {
     replacements: { criteria: `%${criteria}%` }
   })

3. Replace the original query execution with the updated parameterized query.

   models.sequelize.query(query, {
     replacements: { criteria: `%${criteria}%` }
   })
   .then(([products]: any) => {
     const dataString = JSON.stringify(products)
     for (let i = 0; i < products.length; i++) {
       products[i].name = req.__(products[i].name)
       products[i].description = req.__(products[i].description)
     }
     res.json(utils.queryResultToJson(products))
   }).catch((error: ErrorWithParent) => {
     next(error.parent)
   })

Using parameterized queries helps prevent SQL injection by ensuring that user input is treated as data rather than executable code.

This code change should be a good starting point:

Suggested change

	models.sequelize.query("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ((name LIKE '%"+criteria+"%' OR description LIKE '%"+criteria+"%') AND deletedAt IS NULL) ORDER BY name")
	models.sequelize.query(
	"SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ((name LIKE :criteria OR description LIKE :criteria) AND deletedAt IS NULL) ORDER BY name",
	{
	replacements: { criteria: `%${criteria}%` },
	type: models.sequelize.QueryTypes.SELECT
	}
	)

Detected user input used to manually construct a SQL string. This is usually bad practice because manual construction could accidentally result in a SQL injection. An attacker could use a SQL injection to steal or modify contents of the database. Instead, use a parameterized query which is available by default in most database engines. Alternatively, consider using an object-relational mapper (ORM) such as Sequelize which will protect your queries.

1. Change the SQL query string to use parameterized queries. Replace the dynamic parts with placeholders.

   const query = "SELECT * FROM Products WHERE ((name LIKE :criteria OR description LIKE :criteria) AND deletedAt IS NULL) ORDER BY name";

2. Pass the dynamic value as a parameter to the sequelize.query method.

   models.sequelize.query(query, {
     replacements: { criteria: `%${criteria}%` }
   })

3. Replace the original query call with the updated parameterized query.

   models.sequelize.query(query, {
     replacements: { criteria: `%${criteria}%` }
   })
   .then(([products]: any) => {
     const dataString = JSON.stringify(products)
