Fixes https://github.com/harsh6754/Solar-Power-Application/security/code-scanning/21
To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the user-provided data in
req.bodyis sanitized before it is used in the MongoDB query. One way to achieve this is by validating theupdateobject to ensure it only contains expected fields and values. We can use a library likeJoifor schema validation.Joilibrary for schema validation.updateobject that specifies the allowed fields and their types.updateobject against the schema before using it in the query.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
