# Detecting SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

> Detect and analyze SQL injection vulnerabilities in application code and database queries. Use when you need to scan code for SQL injection risks, review query construction, validate input sanitization, or implement secure query patterns. Trigger with phrases like "detect SQL injection", "scan for SQLi vulnerabilities", "review database queries", or "check SQL security".

# Detecting Sql Injection Vulnerabilities

## Overview

This skill provides automated assistance for the described functionality.

## Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure:
- Application source code accessible in {baseDir}/
- Database query files and ORM configurations available
- Framework information (Django, Rails, Express, Spring, etc.)
- Write permissions for security reports in {baseDir}/security-reports/

## Instructions

1. Identify input surfaces and data flows into database queries.
2. Review query construction and parameterization patterns.
3. Flag injection vectors and document impact.
4. Recommend fixes (parameterized queries, ORM patterns, validation) and tests.


See `{baseDir}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.

## Output

The skill produces:

**Primary Output**: SQL injection vulnerability report saved to {baseDir}/security-reports/sqli-scan-YYYYMMDD.md

**Report Structure**:
```
# SQL Injection Vulnerability Report
Scan Date: 2024-01-15
Application: E-commerce Platform
Framework: Django 4.2

## Error Handling

See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.

## Examples
