Mitigation Strategy: Parameterized Queries (Dapper Implementation)
-
Description:
- Step 1: Identify Dapper Queries with User Input: Review your codebase and pinpoint all locations where Dapper's
Query
,Execute
, or similar methods are used to execute SQL queries that incorporate user-provided data. - Step 2: Ensure Parameter Usage in Dapper: For each identified query, verify that user input is passed to Dapper as parameters, not by directly embedding it into the SQL string.
- Step 3: Utilize Dapper Parameter Syntax: Confirm the use of Dapper's parameterization features:
- Anonymous Objects: Check for the use of anonymous objects as the second argument in Dapper methods, where property names match parameter placeholders in the SQL (e.g.,
connection.Query("SELECT * FROM Users WHERE Username = @Username", new { Username = username });
). DynamicParameters
: If usingDynamicParameters
, ensure parameters are added usingAdd
method and passed to Dapper methods.- Inline Parameters: Verify correct syntax for inline parameters within the SQL string (e.g.,
@Username
,:Username
,?
depending on database provider and Dapper configuration).
- Anonymous Objects: Check for the use of anonymous objects as the second argument in Dapper methods, where property names match parameter placeholders in the SQL (e.g.,
- Step 4: Code Review for Parameterization: Conduct code reviews specifically focused on Dapper usage to ensure consistent and correct parameterization across the application.
- Step 1: Identify Dapper Queries with User Input: Review your codebase and pinpoint all locations where Dapper's

List of Threats Mitigated:
- SQL Injection (High Severity): Prevents attackers from injecting malicious SQL code through user input processed by Dapper, potentially leading to data breaches, data manipulation, or unauthorized access.
-
Impact:
- SQL Injection: High Impact - Effectively eliminates SQL injection vulnerabilities arising from Dapper usage when implemented correctly and consistently.
-
Currently Implemented: Partially implemented in newer modules using Dapper. Parameterized queries are generally used in
UserService
andProductService
.- Location: Implemented in
UserService
andProductService
modules for database interactions using Dapper.
- Location: Implemented in
-
Missing Implementation: Legacy modules and older code using Dapper might still have instances of string concatenation for query building.
- Location: Found in
ReportingModule
and parts ofLegacyOrderProcessing
module where Dapper is used. Requires refactoring to use parameterized queries.

Mitigation Strategy: Implement Query Timeouts (Dapper Configuration)
- Mitigation Strategy: Implement Query Timeouts (Dapper Configuration)
- Description:
- Step 1: Determine Appropriate Timeouts for Dapper Queries: Analyze different Dapper queries in the application and decide on suitable timeout durations for each type of query based on expected execution time and acceptable latency.
- Step 2: Configure
commandTimeout
in Dapper: Explicitly set thecommandTimeout
parameter when calling Dapper'sQuery
,Execute
, or other methods. This can be done:- Per-Query: Set
commandTimeout
as an argument for individual Dapper method calls where timeouts are critical (e.g., `connection.Query("...\
