From 307b72d59e2ed7b9e668e53a10f66dd50ea34735 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karunasagar Mohansundar Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2026 13:49:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix(content_filter): add regex word boundaries for SQL injection keywords Fix false positives when SQL keywords appear as substrings in benign words. The _check_conditional_categories method was using substring matching for identifier_words, causing false positives for words like: - "alternative" containing "alter" - "executive" containing "exec" - "selection" containing "select" - "updateable" containing "update" This fix applies regex word boundaries (\b) to identifier word matching, consistent with how block_words are already handled in the same code block. Multi-word phrases (containing spaces) continue to use substring matching to preserve support for phrases like "union select".
