Potential fix for https://github.com/jonath92/demo-python/security/code-scanning/2
To fix the problem, we need to use parameterized queries instead of directly concatenating user input into the SQL query. Parameterized queries ensure that user input is properly escaped and treated as data rather than executable code, thus preventing SQL injection attacks.
The best way to fix the problem without changing existing functionality is to modify the
cursor.executecalls to use placeholders for user input and pass the user-provided values as parameters. This change should be applied to both thenameandauthorparameters.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
