Possible SQL Statement in comment
Description
The application's HTML source code contains comments that include SQL statement syntax or fragments. While these comments may be benign developer notes, they can reveal database schema information, table names, column structures, or query logic to attackers who inspect the page source. This finding requires manual verification to determine if sensitive information is actually exposed.
Remediation
Review all identified HTML comments containing SQL-like syntax to determine if they expose sensitive information:
1. Locate and examine each flagged comment in your application's source code or templates
2. Remove any comments that contain actual SQL queries, database schema information, table names, or column structures
3. If SQL examples are needed for documentation purposes, use generic placeholder names instead of production database objects
4. Implement a code review process to prevent SQL statements from being included in HTML comments
5. Consider using automated tools or pre-commit hooks to detect and prevent sensitive information in comments before deployment
