Cyber Staffing Shortages Remain CISOs' Biggest Challenge in 2025

Cybersecurity staffing shortages are a growing pain point for businesses worldwide. In 2024, the gap between the demand for skilled professionals and available talent has only widened. CISOs are feeling the pressure, as threats grow in both complexity and volume. With fewer hands on deck, teams are forced to work overtime, leading to burnout, security gaps, and overall decreased effectiveness.

SQL Injection in RESTful APIs: Identify and Prevent Vulnerabilities

SQL Injection (SQLi) in RESTful APIs: What You Need to Know

RESTful APIs are crucial for modern applications, enabling seamless communication between systems. However, this convenience comes with risks, one of the most common being SQL Injection (SQLi). In this blog, we’ll explore what SQLi is, its impact on APIs, and how to prevent it, complete with a practical coding example to bolster your understanding.

What Is SQL Injection?

SQL Injection is a cyberattack where an attacker injects malicious SQL statements into input fields, exploiting vulnerabilities in an application's database query execution. When it comes to RESTful APIs, SQLi typically targets endpoints that interact with databases.

How Does SQL Injection Affect RESTful APIs?

RESTful APIs are often exposed to public networks, making them prime targets. Attackers exploit insecure endpoints to:

Access or manipulate sensitive data.

Delete or corrupt databases.

Bypass authentication mechanisms.

Example of a Vulnerable API Endpoint

Consider an API endpoint for retrieving user details based on their ID:

from flask import Flask, request import sqlite3

app = Flask(name)

@app.route('/user', methods=['GET']) def get_user(): user_id = request.args.get('id') conn = sqlite3.connect('database.db') cursor = conn.cursor() query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}" # Vulnerable to SQLi cursor.execute(query) result = cursor.fetchone() return {'user': result}, 200

if name == 'main': app.run(debug=True)

Here, the endpoint directly embeds user input (user_id) into the SQL query without validation, making it vulnerable to SQL Injection.

Secure API Endpoint Against SQLi

To prevent SQLi, always use parameterized queries:

@app.route('/user', methods=['GET']) def get_user(): user_id = request.args.get('id') conn = sqlite3.connect('database.db') cursor = conn.cursor() query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?" cursor.execute(query, (user_id,)) result = cursor.fetchone() return {'user': result}, 200

In this approach, the user input is sanitized, eliminating the risk of malicious SQL execution.
