Summary

The channelName parameter in readDeviceVersionCountsCF was using an incomplete inline escape that only replaced single quotes, while the rest of the codebase uses escapeSqlString() which also escapes backslashes.

Security Impact

This inconsistency could potentially allow SQL injection in Cloudflare Analytics Engine queries if an attacker could control channel names containing backslash characters (e.g., via channel name creation/update).

Changes

  • Use the existing escapeSqlString() helper function for consistent escaping

Testing

  • No behavioral change for normal channel names
  • Backslash characters in channel names are now properly escaped

Note: This is a minor security hardening fix. While channel names typically come from the database (already validated), using consistent escaping is a defense-in-depth measure.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Strengthened input validation mechanisms and data sanitization procedures across the platform
    • Enhanced request validation controls to include additional protective measures and block potentially harmful access attempts
    • Improved sanitization of user-provided data to maintain data integrity
  • Documentation

    • Added comprehensive security assessment report providing detailed vulnerability findings, impact analysis, and recommended remediation steps

Comment on lines +5 to +166
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in `supabase/functions/_backend/utils/cloudflare.ts`. User-controlled values from API request bodies are interpolated directly into SQL query strings sent to the Cloudflare Analytics Engine API without sanitization or parameterization.

## Severity: HIGH

An authenticated user with read-level API key permissions can inject arbitrary SQL into Cloudflare Analytics Engine queries, potentially accessing data belonging to other users/apps.

## Affected Code

**File:** `supabase/functions/_backend/utils/cloudflare.ts`

### Injection Point 1: `readDevicesCF` — deviceIds (line 562, 565)

```typescript
// Line 562 - single device ID, no escaping
conditions.push(`blob1 = '${params.deviceIds[0]}'`)

// Line 565 - multiple device IDs, each quoted but NOT escaped
const devicesList = params.deviceIds.map(id => `'${id}'`).join(', ')
conditions.push(`blob1 IN (${devicesList})`)
```

### Injection Point 2: `readDevicesCF` — search (line 574, 578)

```typescript
// Line 574
conditions.push(`position('${searchLower}' IN toLower(blob5)) > 0`)
```

### Injection Point 3: `readDevicesCF` — cursor (line 592)

```typescript
// Line 592 - cursor values split and interpolated
cursorFilter = `AND (timestamp < toDateTime('${cursorTime}') OR (timestamp = toDateTime('${cursorTime}') AND blob1 > '${cursorDeviceId}'))`
```

### Injection Point 4: `readStatsCF` — deviceIds WITHOUT quotes (line 668-669) — MOST CRITICAL

```typescript
// Line 668-669 - deviceIds joined WITHOUT any quoting
const devicesList = params.deviceIds.join(',')
deviceFilter = `AND device_id IN (${devicesList})`
```

This is the most dangerous because values are not even wrapped in single quotes, making injection trivial.

### Injection Point 5: `readStatsCF` — actions (line 677, 680)

```typescript
actionsFilter = `AND action = '${params.actions[0]}'`
```

### Injection Point 6: `readStatsCF` — search (line 689-691)

```typescript
searchFilter = `AND (position('${searchLower}' IN toLower(device_id)) > 0 ...)`
```

### Injection Point 7: `readDevicesCF` — version_name (line 583)

```typescript
conditions.push(`blob2 = '${params.version_name}'`)
```

## Attack Vector

### Entry Points

1. **POST /private/devices** → `devices.ts` line 29 → calls `readDevices` → calls `readDevicesCF`
2. **POST /private/stats** → `stats.ts` line 80 → calls `readStats` → calls `readStatsCF`

### Authentication Required

Both endpoints require `middlewareV2(['read', 'write', 'all', 'upload'])` — a valid API key with at least read permission. However, any legitimate user of the platform has this.

### Input Validation

The `devicesId` field is validated as `z.array(z.string())` — this only checks that it's an array of strings. SQL injection payloads are valid strings and pass this validation.

## Proof of Concept

### Attack on `readStatsCF` (line 668-669)

The most critical injection point — deviceIds are joined without quotes:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.capgo.app/private/stats \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <valid-api-key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"appId": "com.example.app",
"devicesId": ["1) OR 1=1 UNION SELECT * FROM stats WHERE app_id != '\''com.example.app'\'' --"]
}'
```

This would modify the query from:
```sql
... AND device_id IN (1) OR 1=1 UNION SELECT * FROM stats WHERE app_id != 'com.example.app' --)
```

### Attack on `readDevicesCF` search parameter

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.capgo.app/private/devices \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <valid-api-key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"appId": "com.example.app",
"search": "'\'' OR 1=1) --"
}'
```

## Impact

1. **Data exfiltration**: Read analytics data from other users' apps
2. **Cross-tenant data access**: Break app_id isolation in multi-tenant queries
3. **Information disclosure**: Enumerate device IDs, version names, and usage patterns of other apps

## Suggested Fix

Replace all string interpolation with parameterized queries or strict input validation:

```typescript
// Option 1: Strict allowlist validation
function validateDeviceId(id: string): string {
if (!/^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-:.]+$/.test(id)) {
throw new Error(`Invalid device ID: ${id}`)
}
return id
}

// Option 2: Escape single quotes (minimum fix)
function escapeSql(value: string): string {
return value.replace(/'/g, "''")
}

// Apply to all interpolation points:
conditions.push(`blob1 = '${escapeSql(params.deviceIds[0])}'`)
```

The systematic fix should:
1. Create a `sanitizeSqlString()` utility function
2. Apply it to ALL user-controlled values before SQL interpolation in `cloudflare.ts`
3. Add input validation regex for deviceIds, search, version_name, cursor, and actions
4. Consider using Cloudflare Analytics Engine's parameterized query support if available

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

This security report is stale against the current code and should be revised before merge.

Several vulnerability snippets (e.g., Line 19, Line 22, Line 45, Line 53, Line 65) describe unsanitized interpolation that does not match the current cloudflare.ts implementation in this PR (which uses escapeSqlString(...) on those paths). Also, the PoC section (Line 89+) contains weaponized endpoint payloads; if retained, move this to a private advisory channel or heavily redact for public repo safety.
