# Injection

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="request-data-fileresponse">
    Found user-controlled request data being passed into a file open, which is them passed as an argument into the FileResponse. This is dangerous because an attacker could specify an arbitrary file to read, which could result in leaking important data. Be sure to validate or sanitize the user-inputted filename in the request data before using it in FileResponse.<br />**Likelihood**: LOW<br />**Confidence**: MEDIUM<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A05:2017 - Broken Access Control
    <br />- A01:2021 - Broken Access Control
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="reflected-data-httpresponse">
    Found user-controlled request data passed into HttpResponse. This could be vulnerable to XSS, leading to attackers gaining access to user cookies and protected information. Ensure that the request data is properly escaped or sanitzed.<br />**Likelihood**: MEDIUM<br />**Confidence**: MEDIUM<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    <br />- A03:2021 - Injection
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="mass-assignment">
    Mass assignment detected. This can result in assignment to model fields that are unintended and can be exploited by an attacker. Instead of using '\*\*request.\$W', assign each field you want to edit individually to prevent mass assignment. You can read more about mass assignment at [https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Mass\_Assignment\_Cheat\_Sheet.html](https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Mass_Assignment_Cheat_Sheet.html).<br />**Likelihood**: LOW<br />**Confidence**: LOW<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-915: Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="tainted-url-host">
    User data flows into the host portion of this manually-constructed URL. This could allow an attacker to send data to their own server, potentially exposing sensitive data such as cookies or authorization information sent with this request. They could also probe internal servers or other resources that the server runnig this code can access. (This is called server-side request forgery, or SSRF.) Do not allow arbitrary hosts. Instead, create an allowlist for approved hosts hardcode the correct host.<br />**Likelihood**: LOW<br />**Confidence**: LOW<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A10:2021 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="raw-html-format">
    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 (`django.shortcuts.render`) which will safely render HTML instead.<br />**Likelihood**: HIGH<br />**Confidence**: MEDIUM<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    <br />- A03:2021 - Injection
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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 the Django object-relational mappers (ORM) instead of raw SQL queries.<br />**Likelihood**: MEDIUM<br />**Confidence**: LOW<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-915: Improperly Controlled Modification of Dynamically-Determined Object Attributes
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="csv-writer-injection">
    Detected user input into a generated CSV file using the built-in `csv` module. If user data is used to generate the data in this file, it is possible that an attacker could inject a formula when the CSV is imported into a spreadsheet application that runs an attacker script, which could steal data from the importing user or, at worst, install malware on the user's computer. `defusedcsv` is a drop-in replacement with the same API that will attempt to mitigate formula injection attempts. You can use `defusedcsv` instead of `csv` to safely generate CSVs.<br />**Likelihood**: MEDIUM<br />**Confidence**: MEDIUM<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-1236: Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A01:2017 - Injection
    <br />- A03:2021 - Injection
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="request-data-write">
    Found user-controlled request data passed into '.write(...)'. This could be dangerous if a malicious actor is able to control data into sensitive files. For example, a malicious actor could force rolling of critical log files, or cause a denial-of-service by using up available disk space. Instead, ensure that request data is properly escaped or sanitized.<br />**Likelihood**: MEDIUM<br />**Confidence**: MEDIUM<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-93: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A03:2021 - Injection
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="reflected-data-httpresponsebadrequest">
    Found user-controlled request data passed into a HttpResponseBadRequest. This could be vulnerable to XSS, leading to attackers gaining access to user cookies and protected information. Ensure that the request data is properly escaped or sanitzed.<br />**Likelihood**: LOW<br />**Confidence**: MEDIUM<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A07:2017 - Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
    <br />- A03:2021 - Injection
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="open-redirect">
    Data from request (\$DATA) is passed to redirect(). This is an open redirect and could be exploited. Ensure you are redirecting to safe URLs by using django.utils.http.is\_safe\_url(). See [https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html](https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/601.html) for more information.<br />**Likelihood**: LOW<br />**Confidence**: MEDIUM<br />**CWE**: <br />- CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')
    <br />**OWASP**: <br />- A01:2021 - Broken Access Control
