Fixes https://github.com/github-cloudlabsuser-128/ghas-bootcamp-python/security/code-scanning/3
To fix the SQL injection vulnerability, we should use parameterized queries instead of directly embedding user input into the SQL query string. Parameterized queries ensure that user input is properly escaped and treated as data rather than executable code.
In this specific case, we will modify the
cursor.executecall on line 23 to use a parameterized query. This involves replacing the f-string with a query that uses placeholders for parameters and passing the user input as a separate argument to theexecutemethod.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
