🛡️ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix SQL Injection in PostgresAdapter DDL operations

.jules/sentinel.md

@@ -10,3 +10,7 @@
 **Vulnerability:** The `_legacy_export_to_video_bytes` function in `src/nodetool/media/video/video_utils.py` used a hardcoded path (`/tmp/temp_video.mp4`) for temporary file storage during video encoding. This allowed for symlink attacks, race conditions, and cross-tenant data leakage if multiple processes or users executed the function concurrently.
 **Learning:** Hardcoded temporary paths are a common anti-pattern that can easily be overlooked in fallback or legacy code paths. They violate the principle of isolation and can lead to severe vulnerabilities in multi-user environments.
 **Prevention:** Always use secure temporary file creation mechanisms like `tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile` with appropriate cleanup logic (e.g., `delete=False` followed by a `try...finally` block for manual removal) to guarantee uniqueness and prevent race conditions.
+## 2024-05-18 - Parameterized DDL Operations in Database Adapters
+**Vulnerability:** SQL Injection in Data Definition Language (DDL) queries. Methods like `create_table`, `migrate_table`, and `create_index` in `src/nodetool/models/postgres_adapter.py` used unsafe Python f-string concatenation for table names, column names, and types.
+**Learning:** These methods construct structural modifications and typically cannot use normal parameterization (`$1` or `%s`) provided by DB drivers for values. As a result, developers sometimes mistakenly fall back to standard string formatting.
+**Prevention:** Always use safe query composition objects specifically designed for DDL. In psycopg (PostgreSQL), strictly use `psycopg.sql.SQL` and `psycopg.sql.Identifier` to safely construct dynamic table, column, and schema names in database adapters.
