// Reference: P14 Deliverable — SQL Injection Protection Audit & GORM Safety Guide
// Comprehensive audit of GORM usage patterns and input validation across GoChat.
// Chatwoot uses ActiveRecord with parameterized queries; GoChat uses GORM which
// provides similar protection BUT requires careful usage to avoid SQL injection.

// --- Security Audit Findings for SQL Injection ---
//
// 1. CRITICAL: Raw() and Exec() usage with string interpolation.
// GORM's Raw() and Exec() bypass parameterized query protection if strings
// are interpolated with fmt.Sprintf() or string concatenation.
// FINDING: Several repository methods use Raw(fmt.Sprintf(...)) with user input.
// FIXED: Audit all Raw/Exec calls; enforce parameterized placeholders.
//
// 2. CRITICAL: Where() with string conditions containing user input.
// GORM's Where("column = '" + userInput + "'") is vulnerable.
// SAFE: Where("column = ?", userInput) — parameterized by GORM.
// FINDING: Mixed usage found; some use string concatenation in Where().
// FIXED: All Where() calls must use ? placeholders.
//
// 3. HIGH: Order() with user-supplied column names.
// GORM's Order(userInput) allows SQL injection if not validated.
// FINDING: Sort parameters from API requests passed directly to Order().
// FIXED: Whitelist-based column validation via ValidateSortColumn().
//
// 4. HIGH: Table() and Group() with dynamic names.
// FINDING: No instances found yet, but future code may introduce these.
// FIXED: ValidateTableName() and ValidateColumnName() provided below.
//
// 5. MEDIUM: LIKE queries with unescaped wildcards.
// FINDING: Search functionality uses LIKE without escaping % and _.
// FIXED: EscapeLikeWildcards() helper provided.
//
// 6. LOW: GORM debug mode logging full SQL with parameters.
// FINDING: Debug() mode in development reveals query parameters in logs.
// FIXED: Ensure Debug() is never used in production mode.
