Implementation: SCRUM-490 - NumberFormatException when parsing magicNumber query parameter

[qodoagent]

User description

Jira Issue

SCRUM-490

Summary

Fixed NumberFormatException triggered by malformed magicNumber query parameter in MagicNumberHandler. The handler now properly validates input before parsing and returns appropriate 400 Bad Request responses for invalid input instead of 500 Internal Server Error.

Root Cause

The original code directly called Integer.parseInt() on the query parameter without validation, causing NumberFormatException for malformed input like "34@". Additionally, null query parameters were not handled gracefully.

Changes Made

src/main/java/com/davidparry/lambda/MagicNumberHandler.java

• Added validation for null/missing queryStringParameters - Returns 400 if query params are null or empty
• Added validation for missing magicNumber parameter - Returns 400 with clear error message
• Implemented parseMagicNumber() helper method - Validates format using regex ^[-+]?\d+$ before parsing
• Changed error responses - Invalid input now returns 400 Bad Request instead of 500 Internal Server Error
• Enhanced logging - Added detailed logging for validation failures
• Maintained existing functionality - All success paths remain unchanged

src/test/java/com/davidparry/lambda/MagicNumberHandlerTest.java

• Added 8 new validation test cases:
  1. shouldReturnBadRequestForMalformedMagicNumber() - Tests the specific "34@" bug case
  2. shouldReturnBadRequestForMagicNumberWithSpecialCharacters() - Tests "12#45"
  3. shouldReturnBadRequestForMagicNumberWithLetters() - Tests "123abc"
  4. shouldReturnBadRequestForEmptyMagicNumberParameter() - Tests empty string
  5. shouldReturnBadRequestForWhitespaceMagicNumberParameter() - Tests whitespace only
  6. shouldHandleNumberWithLeadingZeros() - Tests "007" (valid)
  7. shouldHandleNumberWithPlusSign() - Tests "+42" (valid)
  8. shouldHandleNumberWithWhitespace() - Tests " 42 " (valid, trimmed)
• Updated existing error test expectations - Changed from 500 to 400 status codes
• All existing tests continue to pass - No regression in functionality

Total Changes: ~130 lines modified across 2 files

Story Points Estimate

3 points (see Jira for breakdown)

Time Estimate

8-16 hours of developer time saved (1-2 days)

Validation

The fix has been validated to:

• ✅ Handle the specific "34@" input that caused the original error
• ✅ Return proper 400 Bad Request for all invalid input formats
• ✅ Maintain backward compatibility for all valid inputs
• ✅ Preserve CORS headers in all responses
• ✅ Log validation failures appropriately
• ✅ Pass all existing and new test cases

Prevention Measures

• Comprehensive test coverage for edge cases prevents regression
• Input validation pattern can be reused in other handlers
• Clear error messages help API consumers understand issues

PR Compliance Guide 🔍

Below is a summary of compliance checks for this PR:

Security Compliance
⚪	Untrusted input echoed Description: Untrusted magicNumber input is echoed back in the 400 error message and written to logs (e.g., "Invalid format ... got: "), which can enable log-forging/injection (newline/control characters) and reflected-input exposure to clients if error payloads are rendered unsafely downstream. MagicNumberHandler.java [59-106] Referred Code context.getLogger().log("Invalid magicNumber format: " + magicNumberStr); return createErrorResponse(400, "Invalid format for magicNumber parameter. Expected a valid integer, got: " + magicNumberStr); } // Process the magic number (example logic) ObjectNode responseBody = objectMapper.createObjectNode(); responseBody.put("magicNumber", magicNumber); responseBody.put("isEven", magicNumber % 2 == 0); responseBody.put("squared", magicNumber * magicNumber); responseBody.put("message", "Successfully processed magic number: " + magicNumber); response.setStatusCode(200); response.setBody(objectMapper.writeValueAsString(responseBody)); context.getLogger().log("Successfully processed magic number: " + magicNumber); return response; } catch (Exception e) { StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(sw); e.printStackTrace(pw); ...

⚪	Generic: Secure Error Handling Objective: To prevent the leakage of sensitive system information through error messages while providing sufficient detail for internal debugging. Status: Reflected input in error: The 400 error message reflects the raw user-provided magicNumber value back to the client, which may leak or enable abuse depending on how responses are surfaced/consumed.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Impact
Possible issue	Use long for squared calculation Prevent a potential integer overflow by casting the magicNumber to a long before squaring it. src/main/java/com/davidparry/lambda/MagicNumberHandler.java [67] -responseBody.put("squared", magicNumber * magicNumber); +long squared = (long) magicNumber * magicNumber; +responseBody.put("squared", squared); [To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually] Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 __ Why: This suggestion correctly identifies a potential integer overflow bug when squaring a large magicNumber (e.g., close to Integer.MAX_VALUE). Casting to long prevents this overflow, ensuring correct calculations for all valid integer inputs.	Medium
General	Improve performance by pre-compiling regex Improve performance by pre-compiling the regex pattern into a static final Pattern field to avoid recompilation on every invocation of parseMagicNumber. src/main/java/com/davidparry/lambda/MagicNumberHandler.java [94-99] +private static final java.util.regex.Pattern INTEGER_PATTERN = java.util.regex.Pattern.compile("^[-+]?\\d+$"); +... +// Inside parseMagicNumber method // Validate format: optional sign followed by digits String trimmed = value.trim(); -if (!trimmed.matches("^[-+]?\\d+$")) { +if (!INTEGER_PATTERN.matcher(trimmed).matches()) { context.getLogger().log("Magic number does not match valid integer pattern: " + trimmed); return null; } [To ensure code accuracy, apply this suggestion manually] Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6 __ Why: This is a valid and standard performance optimization for Java. Pre-compiling the regex as a static final Pattern avoids repeated compilation on each function invocation, which is beneficial in a Lambda context.	Low
	Consolidate parameter validation logic Consolidate the two separate if blocks for validating the magicNumber query parameter into a single, more concise check to improve readability. src/main/java/com/davidparry/lambda/MagicNumberHandler.java [40-52] -// Validate query parameters are present -if (queryParams == null || queryParams.isEmpty()) { - context.getLogger().log("Missing query parameters"); +Map<String, String> queryParams = request.getQueryStringParameters(); +String magicNumberStr = (queryParams != null) ? queryParams.get(MAGIC_NUMBER_PARAM) : null; + +// Validate magic number parameter is present and not empty +if (magicNumberStr == null || magicNumberStr.trim().isEmpty()) { + context.getLogger().log("Missing or empty magicNumber parameter"); return createErrorResponse(400, "Missing required query parameter: " + MAGIC_NUMBER_PARAM); } -String magicNumberStr = queryParams.get(MAGIC_NUMBER_PARAM); - -// Validate magic number parameter is present -if (magicNumberStr == null || magicNumberStr.trim().isEmpty()) { - context.getLogger().log("Missing magicNumber parameter"); - return createErrorResponse(400, "Missing required query parameter: " + MAGIC_NUMBER_PARAM); -} - Apply / Chat Suggestion importance[1-10]: 4 __ Why: The suggestion correctly identifies an opportunity to refactor two separate validation blocks into a single, more concise check, which improves code readability and simplifies the logic.
