Remediation Patch

Enforce SSL Connection Pooling

patch.diff (typescript)
--- a/handler.typescript (Vulnerable)
const pool = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL, ssl: false });
+++ b/handler.typescript (Remediated)
const pool = new Pool({ connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL, ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: true } });

Always enforce SSL mode on database connections and utilize connection poolers located inside private VPC subnets.
