Title: Mitigate SQL Injection Risk in OIN Handling within SyncXxllncCasesService
Description:
This PR addresses a potential SQL injection vulnerability in the SyncXxllncCasesService class, specifically related to the handling of the Overheidsidentificatienummer (OIN). The OIN is an identification number for organizations in the Netherlands and can begin with leading zeros. Improper validation of this number could allow for SQL injection attacks.
Background:
A security assessment revealed that the oin value used in database queries might be susceptible to SQL injection.
The issue arises because the oin is not properly validated or sanitized before being used in queries or passed to other services.
Changes Made:
Added OIN Validation Method:
Introduced a new private method validateOin to ensure the oin value is safe to use.
This method checks that the oin:
Is set and is a non-empty string.
Contains only digits, allowing for leading zeros (which are common in OINs).
Implemented Validation in Synchronization Handler:
In the syncXxllncCasesHandler method, the oin from the configuration is now validated using the validateOin method.
If validation fails, an error is logged, and the synchronization process is halted to prevent the use of invalid data.
Ensured Safe Use of OIN in Data Processing:
Updated the data merging process to use the validated oin value.
This ensures that only sanitized and validated data is used in further processing and any database interactions.
Impact:
Security Improvement: By validating the oin value, we mitigate the risk of SQL injection attacks that could compromise the database and the application.
Data Integrity: Ensures that only valid OINs are processed, maintaining the integrity of organizational data.
Backward Compatibility: The changes are backward compatible and do not affect other functionalities of the SyncXxllncCasesService class.
