Fix sql injection












0















I try to rebuild this function



def getStackArea(screen_area):
db = postgresql.open(db_conf.connectionString())
data = db.query("select stack_area from screen_coordinates where screen_area = " + screen_area + " and active = 1")
return data[0]['stack_area']


To



def getStackArea(screen_area):
db = postgresql.open(db_conf.connectionString())
sql = "select stack_area from screen_coordinates where screen_area = ? and active = ?"
row = db.query.first(sql, (screen_area,1))
return data[0]['stack_area']


But there is syntax error at or near "and". What I do wrong? First function works good but not safety. I use py-postgresql

  • What library are you using? That will affect what characters will be treated as placeholders. The error message you give implies the `? as being passed literally to the SQL engine, rather than be replaced first by the given arguments.

    The example on pypi.org/project/py-postgresql suggests sql = "select ... where screen_area = $1 and active = $2" instead.
