Last Updated: 2026-01-31 Overall Progress: 13/150+ vulnerabilities fixed (8.7%)

---

This document tracks the progress of fixing 150+ SQL injection vulnerabilities identified in the nself codebase security audit.

---

Status: ✅ FIXED Commit: 06d38ca Risk Level: Catastrophic → None

Functions Fixed:

• vault_set() - 4 injection points (CREATE/UPDATE secrets)
• vault_get() - 1 injection point (READ secrets by key/version)
• vault_delete() - 1 injection point (SOFT DELETE secrets)
• vault_list() - 1 injection point (LIST all secrets)
• vault_rotate() - 1 injection point (RE-ENCRYPT with new key)
• vault_get_versions() - 2 injection points (VERSION HISTORY)

Protections Added:

• ✅ Input validation: validate_identifier(), validate_uuid(), validate_integer()
• ✅ Parameterized queries: All SQL uses pg_query_safe() / pg_query_value()
• ✅ Key name validation: Only alphanumeric, underscore, hyphen allowed (max 100 chars)
• ✅ Environment validation: Alphanumeric identifiers only (max 50 chars)
• ✅ UUID validation: All encryption_key_id values validated
• ✅ Version validation: Integer range checking

Attack Vectors Prevented:

• ❌ Secret exfiltration via injection
• ❌ Mass secret deletion
• ❌ Encryption key manipulation
• ❌ Version history tampering

---

Status: 🟡 PARTIALLY FIXED (3 fixed, 4+ remaining) Commit: 06d38ca Risk Level: High → Medium

Functions Fixed:

• tenant_create() - 1 injection point (CREATE tenant with validation)
• tenant_delete() - 1 injection point (DELETE tenant by ID or slug)
• tenant_member_add() - 1 injection point (ADD user to tenant with role)

Protections Added:

• ✅ Tenant ID/slug validation: UUID or identifier format
• ✅ User ID validation: UUID format required
• ✅ Role validation: Alphanumeric identifiers only
• ✅ Plan validation: Identifier format
• ✅ Parameterized queries for all operations

Remaining Vulnerabilities in tenant/core.sh:

• ⏳ tenant_member_remove() - 1 injection point
• ⏳ tenant_domain_add() - 1 injection point
• ⏳ tenant_domain_verify() - 1 injection point
• ⏳ tenant_domain_remove() - 1 injection point
• ⏳ tenant_setting_set() - 1 injection point
• ⏳ tenant_setting_get() - 1 injection point

Attack Vectors Prevented:

• ❌ Tenant creation with malicious names
• ❌ SQL injection in tenant deletion
• ❌ Member role escalation via injection

Target: Week 1 Estimated Time: 4-6 hours

Risk: Payment fraud, quota bypass Priority: P0 Status: ⏳ NOT STARTED

Functions to Fix:

• quota_check(), quota_set(), quota_get(), quota_update()
• quota_list(), quota_reset(), quota_soft_limit_check()
• Multiple database queries for quota enforcement

Risk: Billing manipulation, revenue loss Priority: P0 Status: ⏳ NOT STARTED

Functions to Fix:

• usage_record(), usage_get(), usage_aggregate()
• usage_export(), usage_summary(), usage_by_period()

Quick Win Strategy:

• Create common billing query helpers in billing/core.sh
• Use consistent validation: UUID for IDs, integer for quotas/usage
• Batch fix similar patterns (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE)
