Avoiding SQL injection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since a ``Func``'s keyword arguments for ``__init__()`` (``**extra``) and
``as_sql()`` (``**extra_context``) are interpolated into the SQL string rather
than passed as query parameters (where the database driver would escape them),
they must not contain untrusted user input.
For example, if ``substring`` is user-provided, this function is vulnerable to
SQL injection::
from django.db.models import Func
class Position(Func):
function = 'POSITION'
template = "%(function)s('%(substring)s' in %(expressions)s)"
def __init__(self, expression, substring):
# substring=substring is a SQL injection vulnerability!
super().__init__(expression, substring=substring)
This function generates a SQL string without any parameters. Since ``substring``
is passed to ``super().__init__()`` as a keyword argument, it's interpolated
into the SQL string before the query is sent to the database.
Here's a corrected rewrite::
class Position(Func):
function = 'POSITION'
arg_joiner = ' IN '
def __init__(self, expression, substring):
super().__init__(substring, expression)
With ``substring`` instead passed as a positional argument, it'll be passed as
a parameter in the database query.
