Security

tainted-eval

The eval() function evaluates JavaScript code represented as a string. Executing JavaScript from a string is an enormous security risk. It is far too easy for a bad actor to run arbitrary code when you use eval(). Ensure evaluated content is not definable by external sources.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: LOW
CWE:
- CWE-95: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code (‘Eval Injection’)
OWASP:
- A03:2021 - Injection

tainted-html-response

Detected user input flowing into an HTML response. You may be accidentally bypassing secure methods of rendering HTML by manually constructing HTML and this could create a cross-site scripting vulnerability, which could let attackers steal sensitive user data.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (‘Cross-site Scripting’)
OWASP:
- A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- A03:2021 - Injection

knex-sqli

Detected SQL statement that is tainted by $EVENT object. This could lead to SQL injection if the variable is user-controlled and not properly sanitized. In order to prevent SQL injection, use parameterized queries or prepared statements instead. You can use parameterized statements like so: knex.raw('SELECT $1 from table', [userinput])
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (‘SQL Injection’)
OWASP:
- A01:2017 - Injection
- A03:2021 - Injection

tainted-sql-string

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.
Likelihood: LOW
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (‘SQL Injection’)
OWASP:
- A01:2017 - Injection
- A03:2021 - Injection

tainted-html-string

Detected user input flowing into a manually constructed HTML string. You may be accidentally bypassing secure methods of rendering HTML by manually constructing HTML and this could create a cross-site scripting vulnerability, which could let attackers steal sensitive user data. To be sure this is safe, check that the HTML is rendered safely. Otherwise, use templates which will safely render HTML instead.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (‘Cross-site Scripting’)
OWASP:
- A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
- A03:2021 - Injection

mysql-sqli

Detected SQL statement that is tainted by $EVENT object. This could lead to SQL injection if the variable is user-controlled and not properly sanitized. In order to prevent SQL injection, use parameterized queries or prepared statements instead. You can use parameterized statements like so: connection.query('SELECT $1 from table', [userinput])
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (‘SQL Injection’)
OWASP:
- A01:2017 - Injection
- A03:2021 - Injection

vm-runincontext-injection

The vm module enables compiling and running code within V8 Virtual Machine contexts. The vm module is not a security mechanism. Do not use it to run untrusted code. If code passed to vm functions is controlled by user input it could result in command injection. Do not let user input in vm functions.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-94: Improper Control of Generation of Code (‘Code Injection’)
OWASP:
- A03:2021 - Injection

dynamodb-request-object

Detected DynamoDB query params that are tainted by $EVENT object. This could lead to NoSQL injection if the variable is user-controlled and not properly sanitized. Explicitly assign query params instead of passing data from $EVENT directly to DynamoDB client.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-943: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic
OWASP:
- A01:2017 - Injection

detect-child-process

Allowing spawning arbitrary programs or running shell processes with arbitrary arguments may end up in a command injection vulnerability. Try to avoid non-literal values for the command string. If it is not possible, then do not let running arbitrary commands, use a white list for inputs.
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command (‘OS Command Injection’)
OWASP:
- A01:2017 - Injection
- A03:2021 - Injection

sequelize-sqli

Detected SQL statement that is tainted by $EVENT object. This could lead to SQL injection if the variable is user-controlled and not properly sanitized. In order to prevent SQL injection, use parameterized queries or prepared statements instead. You can use parameterized statements like so: sequelize.query('SELECT * FROM projects WHERE status = ?', { replacements: ['active'], type: QueryTypes.SELECT });
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
CWE:
- CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command (‘SQL Injection’)
OWASP:
- A01:2017 - Injection
- A03:2021 - Injection

pg-sqli

Detected SQL statement that is tainted by $EVENT object. This could lead to SQL injection if the variable is user-controlled and not properly sanitized. In order to prevent SQL injection, use parameterized queries or prepared statements instead. You can use parameterized statements like so: connection.query('SELECT $1 from table', [userinput])
Likelihood: MEDIUM
Confidence: MEDIUM
