OWASP	A01:2017 - Injection
Confidence Level	Low

Description

Building SQL queries by concatenating strings or using formatted strings with user input can allow malicious data to alter the intended SQL command. This practice makes your code vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.

Impact

An attacker could manipulate the SQL query to access, modify, or delete database data, bypass authentication, or execute unauthorized operations. This can lead to data breaches, loss of sensitive information, and compromise of the entire application.
