SQL query built with string interpolation

A SQL statement is constructed by interpolating or concatenating variables directly into the query string. If any of those values come from user input, this is a textbook SQL injection.

What the check contributes

Rule INJ001runs as part of CodeCordon's deterministic static-analysis pass. When it matches, the finding includes the source file, line number, severity, explanation, and a redacted snippet so the developer can inspect the evidence directly.

Recommended remediation

Use parameterized queries / prepared statements: pass values via placeholders (?, $1, :name) and let the driver escape them. Never build SQL with template literals or + concatenation.

How to use this result

  1. 1. Open the reported line. Confirm the match is active application code rather than a fixture, example, or false positive.
  2. 2. Apply the remediation in context. Preserve the intended behavior while removing the dangerous pattern.
  3. 3. Scan again. Verify the known pattern no longer appears, then continue with tests and any runtime or human security review appropriate to the application.

Limits of this check

A match is a review signal, not proof of exploitability. No match means only that this specific known pattern was not found in the applicable files. It does not rule out equivalent code, business-logic flaws, runtime vulnerabilities, or novel attack paths.
