CWE	CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
OWASP	A01:2017 - Injection
Confidence Level	Low
Impact Level	High
Likelihood Level	Low

Description

The code constructs SQL queries in Slick using string interpolation with formatted variables (e.g., #$variable), which can insert unsanitized user input directly into the SQL statement. This practice can allow attackers to manipulate the query and execute arbitrary SQL commands.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could perform SQL injection, leading to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even deletion of critical information. This can compromise user data, application integrity, and potentially give attackers full control over the database.
