NoSQL Injection Prevention

Injection & Data Protection

Injection flaws (SQL, NoSQL, OS Command) occur when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query.

SQL/NoSQL Injection Prevention

Always use parameterized queries (Prepared Statements) or modern ORMs. Never concatenate strings to build database queries. For NoSQL (like MongoDB), ensure input types are validated (e.g., rejecting an object where a string is expected) to prevent operator injection (like {"$ne": null}).

Data Encryption

Enforce TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 for all API endpoints. Inside the network perimeter, encrypt sensitive data at rest using AES-256 and manage keys securely using a KMS (Key Management Service).
