Security and GRC teams need to manually upload evidence to SOC2 compliance systems like Drata, while development teams suddenly need to use code security scanners that throw wrenches in the SDLC.

Prisma and PostgreSQL vulnerable to NoSQL injection? A surprising security risk explained

Imagine you’re building a blogging web app using Prisma. You write a simple query to authenticate users based on their provided email and password: Looks harmless, right? But what if an attacker sends password = { "not": "" }? Instead of returning the User object only when email and password match, the query always returns the User when only the provided email matches. This vulnerability is known as operator injection, but it’s more commonly referred to as NoSQL injection.
