🚀 Thanks for opening this pull request! We appreciate your effort in improving the project. Please let us know once your pull request is ready for review.

Tip

• Keep pull requests small. Large PRs will be rejected. Break complex features into smaller, incremental PRs.
• Use Test Driven Development. Write failing tests before implementing functionality. Ensure tests pass.
• Group code into logical blocks. Add a short comment before each block to explain its purpose.
• We offer conceptual guidance. Coding is up to you. PRs must be merge-ready for human review.
• Our review focuses on concept, not quality. PRs with code issues will be rejected. Use an AI agent.
• Human review time is precious. Avoid review ping-pong. Inspect and test your AI-generated code.

Note

Please respond to review comments from AI agents just like you would to comments from a human reviewer. Let the reviewer resolve their own comments, unless they have reviewed and accepted your commit, or agreed with your explanation for why the feedback was incorrect.

Caution

Pull requests must be written using an AI agent with human supervision. Pull requests written entirely by a human will likely be rejected, because of lower code quality, higher review effort and the higher risk of introducing bugs. Please note that AI review comments on this pull request alone do not satisfy this requirement.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds JSON-string escaping for nested-object Increment keys in the Postgres storage adapter and updates PostgreSQL tests to assert that crafted sub-keys cannot create or modify unintended JSONB keys or bypass ACL/CLP protections.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Postgres storage adapter change src/Adapters/Storage/Postgres/PostgresStorageAdapter.js	Added escapeJsonString and applied two escaping variants (jsonSafeName, sqlSafeName) in Increment logic for nested JSONB keys to prevent JSON/SQL injection when building JSON literals vs. extracting values.
New injection tests spec/PostgresStorageAdapter.spec.js	Added PostgreSQL-only test suite (~+210 lines) covering crafted sub-key names for Increment: verifies no unintended JSONB keys, respects CLP/ACL and protectedFields, and checks resulting stored values.
Vulnerability test updates spec/vulnerabilities.spec.js	Adjusted two PostgreSQL tests to assert safe escaping behavior (no extra JSONB keys, no pg_sleep(3)-named key) rather than focusing on JSONB invalidation or execution timing.

In `@src/Adapters/Storage/Postgres/PostgresStorageAdapter.js`:
- Line 212: The escapeJsonString function currently only escapes backslashes and
quotes, leaving control characters like newline, carriage return and tabs
unescaped which can break the CONCAT-built JSON literal; update escapeJsonString
to also replace control characters (at minimum \n, \r, \t — and ideally \b and
\f) with their escaped sequences (e.g. \\n, \\r, \\t, \\b, \\f) using global
replacements so the produced string is a valid JSON string when inserted into
CONCAT('{"...":', ...)::jsonb; keep the existing backslash and quote escaping
and ensure the replacements run on the same input value in escapeJsonString.
