Prevention Methods

Parameterized Queries
// Safe - using prepared statements
const stmt = db.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?');
stmt.get(userId);
String Concatenation
// UNSAFE - vulnerable to SQLi
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '${userId}'`;
db.query(query);
ORM/Query Builder
// Safe - using ORM
User.findOne({ where: { id: userId } });
Input Validation
// Additional layer - validate input type
if (!Number.isInteger(parseInt(userId))) {
  throw new Error('Invalid ID');
}
