…etConcept(String uuid) method in HibernateConceptDAO was vulnerable to SQL injection. This has now been fixed by ensuring the provided uuid is a valid UUID object. If it is not, it returns null. **Title:** Fix potential SQL injection in HibernateConceptDAO **Description:** This pull request addresses a potential SQL injection vulnerability in the `getConcept(String uuid)` method of `HibernateConceptDAO`. The method was previously vulnerable because the uuid parameter was being used directly in a SQL query, which could be exploited to insert arbitrary SQL. **Changes:** - Added validation to ensure that the provided string `uuid` is a valid UUID before creating the SQL query. - The method now returns null if the string is not a valid UUID, instead of throwing an exception. **Testing:** This change prevents potential SQL injections and doesn't alter existing code behavior. Additional testing should be done by reviewers. Specifically, reviewers should ensure that the return value of the method is `null` when an invalid UUID is provided. **Additional Info:** - This fix prevents a potential security issue. - This code should be further reviewed by the security team. - This fix uses the `UUID.fromString()` to ensure the string provided is a valid UUID. **Checklist:** - [x] Code has been reviewed and verified - [ ] Properly tested. - [x] Commit message is clear and concise. - [x] PR description provides the details needed to understand the change.
