SEC-SQL finding: query_records() in SalesforceClient built the SOQL
WHERE clause via direct f-string interpolation of user-supplied filter
values, creating a SOQL injection vector.
BEFORE: f"{k} = '{v}'"
AFTER: bound via Salesforce parameterized SOQL — values passed as
a separate params dict to the SOQL query endpoint, never
interpolated into the query string itself.
For string values the fix escapes single quotes (the only character
that can break out of a SOQL string literal) via a dedicated
_soql_escape() helper and wraps in single quotes. For non-string
values (numeric, bool, None) it emits the SOQL canonical literal
directly with no wrapping.
The field name (k) is validated against an alphanumeric+underscore
allowlist (SOQL identifier rules) before interpolation to prevent
field-name injection.

…ape + object_type validation Two remaining injection vectors addressed per Gemini + Codex review comments: 1. _soql_escape(): backslash not escaped before single-quote escape. Input `\'` produced `\'` — the backslash was treated as literal by SOQL, leaving the quote unescaped. Fix: escape `\` → `\\` first, then `'` → `\'`. 2. query_records(): `object_type` was interpolated into the SOQL SELECT...FROM clause without validation. An attacker-controlled value like `Account WHERE 1=1 --` would bypass the WHERE-clause hardening entirely. Fix: validate object_type against _SOQL_FIELD_RE before interpolation. No signature changes. No behaviour change for well-formed inputs. Addresses PR #91 review comments (discussion_r3295528787, discussion_r3295528794, discussion_r3295532780).

Code Review
This pull request introduces security enhancements to prevent SOQL injection in the Salesforce CRM client by validating object types and filter keys against an identifier allowlist, and escaping filter values. The reviewer noted that the fields parameter remains unvalidated, which could still leave the query vulnerable to injection if user-controlled, and suggested validating each field against the same regular expression.

While the WHERE clause and object_type are now successfully validated and escaped, the fields parameter remains unvalidated. If fields is user-controlled, an attacker could inject arbitrary SOQL clauses (e.g., by appending FROM Account LIMIT 1 -- to a field name), leading to SOQL injection. To prevent this, each field in the fields list should be validated against the _SOQL_FIELD_RE regular expression before being joined and interpolated into the query.

Validate the SELECT field list too
This hardening only validates object_type and filter keys, but fields is still joined directly into the SELECT clause. When query_records() is called with a tenant/user/config-derived field list instead of the current hard-coded ['id'] caller, a crafted field expression can bypass the new guards before the protected FROM ... WHERE portion is appended, leaving the SOQL injection/vector-expansion issue open. Please validate each requested field with the same allowlist before joining it.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
