🛡️ Mitigation

Immediate Actions

1. Update MikroORM

npm install @mikro-orm/knex@latest
npm install @mikro-orm/sql@latest

2. Input Validation

const ALLOWED_JSON_PATHS = ['$.email', '$.name', '$.metadata'];

function validateJsonPath(key) {
    if (!ALLOWED_JSON_PATHS.includes(key)) {
        throw new Error('Invalid JSON path');
    }
    return key;
}

3. WAF Rules

# Block suspicious JSON path patterns
"filterField": "\$\.x'\) OR .* -- "

4. Database Hardening

• Apply least privilege principle
• Use separate database users
• Implement query logging
• Enable SQL injection detection
