* Fix SQL injection in suggestions column configuration The suggestions_first_column, suggestions_second_column, and suggestions_third_column configuration values were concatenated directly into SQL SELECT statements without validation, allowing SQL injection attacks through the item search suggestions. Changes: - Add whitelist validation in Config controller to only allow valid column names (name, item_number, description, cost_price, unit_price) - Add defensive validation in Item model's get_search_suggestion_format() and get_search_suggestion_label() methods - Default invalid values to 'name' column for safety - Add unit tests to verify malicious inputs are rejected This is a critical security fix as attackers with config permissions could inject arbitrary SQL through these configuration fields. Vulnerability reported as additional injection point in bug report. * Refactor: Move allowed suggestions columns to Item model constants Extract the list of valid suggestion columns into two constants in the Item model for better cohesion: - ALLOWED_SUGGESTIONS_COLUMNS: valid column names - ALLOWED_SUGGESTIONS_COLUMNS_WITH_EMPTY: includes empty string for config validation This consolidates the validation logic in one place and makes it reusable across Config controller and Item model. * Address PR review comments: improve validation and code quality Changes: - Use camelCase naming for validateSuggestionsColumn() method (PSR-12) - Add field-aware validation with different fallbacks for first vs other columns - Handle non-string POST input by checking is_string() before validation - Refactor duplicate validation logic into suggestionColumnIsAllowed() helper - Use consistent camelCase variable names ($suggestionsFirstColumn) - Update tests to validate constants and behavior rather than implementation - Tests now focus on security properties of the allowlist itself The validation now properly handles: - First column: defaults to 'name' when invalid - Second/Third columns: defaults to '' (empty) when invalid - Non-string inputs: treated as invalid with appropriate fallback --------- Co-authored-by: Ollama <ollama@steganos.dev>
