To address SQL injection vulnerabilities in your application, consider the following recommendations:

1. Use Prepared Statements (Parameterized Queries):


o Prepared statements ensure that an attacker cannot change the intent of a query, even if SQL
commands are inserted by an attacker.
o In many programming languages, this is achieved using placeholders within the SQL query,
and then binding the input to these placeholders.
2. Employ Stored Procedures:
o Stored procedures can encapsulate the SQL logic on the server side and offer a layer of
protection against SQL injection.
o However, they are not immune to SQL injection if dynamic SQL generation is used inside
these procedures.
3. Whitelist Input Validation:
o Validate all input data by defining a strict pattern that the data must adhere to. This could
include length, format, and type.
o Reject any input that does not strictly conform to these specifications.
4. Escape All User-Supplied Input:
o If you must use dynamic SQL, use proper escaping routines for the database you are
working with.
o However, note that escaping alone is less secure than using prepared statements.
