OWASP A01:2017 - Injection
Confidence Level Low
Impact Level High
Likelihood Level Low

Description

User input is being directly concatenated into SQL queries in asyncpg without proper sanitization or parameterization. This practice allows attackers to manipulate the database query and potentially run unintended SQL commands.

Impact

If exploited, attackers could read, modify, or delete sensitive database data, escalate privileges, or compromise the entire application. This can lead to data breaches, data loss, and significant harm to the application's integrity and security.
