GHSA-9c2p-jw8p-f84v
SQL Injection in sequelize
Quick fix
GHSA-9c2p-jw8p-f84v — sequelize: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install sequelize@3.20.0Details
Affected versions of `sequelize` cast arrays to strings and fail to properly escape the resulting SQL statement, resulting in a SQL injection vulnerability.
## Proof of Concept In Postgres, SQLite, and Microsoft SQL Server there is an issue where arrays are treated as strings and improperly escaped.
Example Query: ``` database.query('SELECT * FROM TestTable WHERE Name IN (:names)', { replacements: { names: directCopyOfUserInput } }); ```
If the user inputs the value of `:names` as: ``` ["test", "'); DELETE TestTable WHERE Id = 1 --')"] ```
The resulting SQL statement will be: ```sql SELECT Id FROM Table WHERE Name IN ('test', '\'); DELETE TestTable WHERE Id = 1 --') ``` As the backslash has no special meaning in PostgreSQL, MSSQL, or SQLite, the statement will delete the record in TestTable with an Id of 1.
## Recommendation
Update to version 3.20.0 or later.
