🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces hourly rate limits for each developer per organization.

Our paid plans have higher rate limits than the trial, open-source and free plans. In all cases, we re-allow further reviews after a brief timeout.

🔐 Secure Code Review (AI)

Risk Summary: High (3)

1. Finding: SQL Injection

   • Why it matters: The $id variable is directly interpolated into the SQL query without any sanitization or parameterization, making the application vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.
   • Evidence (diff lines):

     $q = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '$id'";

   • Fix (concrete): Use prepared statements to safely handle user input:

     $stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?");
     $stmt->bind_param("i", $id);
     $stmt->execute();

2. Finding: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

   • Why it matters: The $user variable is directly echoed to the output without any encoding, which can lead to XSS if the input is not properly sanitized.
   • Evidence (diff lines):

     echo "Hello " . $user;

   • Fix (concrete): Use htmlspecialchars() to encode the output:

     echo "Hello " . htmlspecialchars($user, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

3. Finding: Potential Information Disclosure

   • Why it matters: If the SQL query fails, there is no error handling, which could lead to sensitive information being exposed through error messages.
   • Evidence (diff lines):

     mysqli_query($conn, $q);

   • Fix (concrete): Implement error handling for database queries:

     if (!mysqli_query($conn, $q)) {
         error_log("Database query failed: " . mysqli_error($conn));
         // Optionally, handle the error gracefully for the user
     }

Safeguards Checklist:

• Input validation: Fail
• Output encoding: Fail
• Use of prepared statements: Fail
• Error handling: Fail

The diff is small and focused, but it contains critical security issues that need immediate attention.

Micro-Learning Topic: Cross-site scripting (Detected by phrase)

Matched on "Cross-Site Scripting"

Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities occur when unescaped input is rendered into a page displayed to the user. When HTML or script is included in the input, it will be processed by a user's browser as HTML or script and can alter the appearance of the page or execute malicious scripts in their user context.

Micro-Learning Topic: Information disclosure (Detected by phrase)

Matched on "Information Disclosure"

Many web applications and APIs do not properly protect sensitive data, such as financial, healthcare, and PII. Attackers may steal or modify such weakly protected data to conduct credit card fraud, identity theft, or other crimes. Sensitive data may be compromised without extra protection, such as encryption at rest or in transit, and requires special precautions when exchanged with the browser.

Micro-Learning Topic: Injection attack (Detected by phrase)

Matched on "injection attack"

Injection flaws, such as SQL, NoSQL, OS, and LDAP injection, occur when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. The attacker’s hostile data can trick the interpreter into executing unintended commands or accessing data without proper authorization.

What is this? (2min video)

This is probably one of the two most exploited vulnerabilities in web applications and has led to a number of high profile company breaches. It occurs when an application fails to sanitize or validate input before using it to dynamically construct a statement. An attacker that exploits this vulnerability will be able to gain access to the underlying database and view or modify data without permission.
