SEC-SQL: SOQL Injection Hardening — SalesforceClient

pr_class: security
rule_id: SEC-SQL
audit_verdict: REAL — BLOCKING

What

Hardens SalesforceClient.query_records() against SOQL injection. Two vectors fixed:

1. WHERE clause interpolation (BEFORE/AFTER):

# BEFORE — injection vector
f"{k} = '{v}'"

# AFTER — values escaped via _soql_escape(); field names validated against alphanumeric+underscore allowlist

2. Backslash escape ordering in _soql_escape():
Input \' previously produced \' — backslash was literal, leaving the quote unescaped.
Fix: escape \\\ first, then '\'.

3. object_type injection: interpolated into SELECT...FROM without validation. Now validated against _SOQL_FIELD_RE before use.

Behaviour change

None for well-formed inputs. Malicious inputs are now rejected.

Closes

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.

Warning

Review limit reached

@cryptoxdog, we couldn't start this review because you've reached your PR review rate limit.

More reviews will be available in 46 minutes and 13 seconds. Learn how PR review limits work.

Your organization has used up its prepaid credits, and credit purchases are no longer available. Enable the review add-on in the billing tab to keep reviews running — you're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based credits.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

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.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

security-high high

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.

P1 Badge 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.
