    SQL Injection

    pg-promise is a PostgreSQL interface for Node.js

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SQL Injection when using the simple query mode. Since pgFormatting is enabled by default, pg-promise escapes parameter values before inserting them into a query string.

    When a placeholder is directly preceded by a minus - and not separated by any whitespace, pg-promise does not handle the particular case when a negative number is inserted for the placeholder. This leads to two consecutive minus signs in the query, turning them into the start of a line comment.

    Note:

    To exploit this behavior and cause SQL Injection, the following conditions must be met by a parameterized query:

    1. a placeholder for a numeric value must be immediately preceded by a minus (as described above).

    2. there must be a second placeholder for a string value after the first placeholder; both must be on the same line.

    3. both parameter values must be user-controlled

    How to fix SQL Injection?

    Upgrade pg-promise to version 11.5.5 or higher.

    <11.5.5
