Beware of SQL injection with Spring Boot and Flyway

So this is a hard to accomplish exploit, and is really only accomplishable by first exploiting another exploit first, or by an employee with some level of trusted access, though this employee might not normally have actual database access. I do believe you should be aware of it, as it leaves open an avenue you may not be thinking of. A sample application So the first thing we need is an application that uses Flyway, let’s just use the Spring Boot Flyway Sample.

Log (CRLF) Injection with SLF4J

At my job we have a CIO installed policy of remediating issues found by a static analysis tool and what it finds are most targeted at finding security issues. Currently this tool is Veracode, and I don’t recommend it, it misses more problems than it finds, and what it finds, including this issue, are often false positives. Our most common issue, is CRLF (Carriage Return Line Feed) or other log injection, which we have mitigated in a custom log appender (which Veracode doesn’t recognize).

Single Repository, one Aggregate

A Repository as defined in Domain Driven Design manages a single Aggregate. An aggregate may contain many entities, and value objects, but will have a single object as its root.

Spring with Spring Data is awesome. Seriously, I’ve never been able to throw up a full HATEOAS REST web service this fast. To start, I’ll admit my headliner lie, I’m not counting the pom.xml.
