CVE-2022-2X8XX
This challenge covers the review of a CVE in a Golang codebase and its patch
The Code Review Patch challenges are designed to enhance your ability to identify vulnerabilities by providing both the vulnerable code and its patch. You are encouraged to first attempt to find the issue on your own. If you struggle to locate the vulnerability or wish to verify your findings, you can then examine the provided patch. This approach helps you develop a keener eye for spotting security flaws and understanding how they are addressed.
In this particular lab, you are tasked with reviewing the server/service/system/sys_auto_code_pgsql.go file. The challenge involves identifying where the injection vulnerability occurs within the code. The patch modifies SQL queries, switching from string replacements to parameterized queries, thereby mitigating the risk of SQL injection. By analyzing these changes, you can gain a deeper understanding of secure coding practices and the importance of proper query handling in preventing injection attacks.
