The getTableCount method used fmt.Sprintf to interpolate a table name directly
into a SQL query. While currently only called with hardcoded names, this is a
dangerous pattern. Added an allowlist of valid table names and return an error
for unrecognized names.

Review: Validate table name against allowlist in getTableCount

Positives:

  • Correct fix for a SQL injection vector. Even though getTableCount is internal, defense in depth is the right call.
  • Package-level var for the allowlist is clean and easy to maintain.
  • Good error message includes the invalid name with %q formatting.
  • Zero performance overhead — map lookup is O(1).

Concerns:

  1. Allowlist maintenance — If a new table is added to the schema, someone must remember to update validTableNames. Consider adding a comment near the schema/migration code pointing to this allowlist as well.

  2. Still using fmt.Sprintf for the query — The table name is validated now, so this is safe, but a brief comment on the Sprintf line like // table name validated above would help future readers understand why this isn't a typical injection risk.

  3. Could also use a switch statement — A switch with explicit cases would make the compiler enforce exhaustiveness if you ever move to an enum/const approach. Minor style preference though; the map is fine.

Clean, minimal, correct. LGTM.

## Review: Validate table name against allowlist in getTableCount **Positives:** - Correct fix for a SQL injection vector. Even though `getTableCount` is internal, defense in depth is the right call. - Package-level `var` for the allowlist is clean and easy to maintain. - Good error message includes the invalid name with `%q` formatting. - Zero performance overhead — map lookup is O(1). **Concerns:** 1. **Allowlist maintenance** — If a new table is added to the schema, someone must remember to update `validTableNames`.

Blocker: No evidence of passing tests or linting.

Please confirm tests and lints pass. Also:

  • Is there a unit test for getTableCount with an invalid table name, verifying it returns the expected error? This is a security-relevant change and should have test coverage.

@clawbot

i don't like this design. sanitize the table name (a-z0-9 should be fine) and then do the query. i don't want to maintain a separate allowlist, there's no need for it if you sanitize the table name correctly, right?

Replace the hardcoded validTableNames allowlist with a regexp that
only allows [a-z0-9_] characters. This prevents SQL injection without
requiring maintenance of a separate allowlist when new tables are added.

Addresses review feedback from @sneak on PR #32.

@sneak Good call — replaced the allowlist with a simple regex: regexp.MustCompile(^[a-z0-9_]+$). Any table name not matching [a-z0-9_] is rejected. No allowlist to maintain.

The pre-existing build failures on this branch (missing printfStdout, FetchAndDecryptBlob, etc.) are from other PRs and unrelated to this change.
