To fix the problem, we should avoid using string concatenation to build SQL queries with user-provided values. Instead, we should use parameterized queries or the squirrel library's built-in methods to safely include these values in the query.
- Replace the string concatenation in the
OrderByclause with a safer method. - Use
squirrel.Exprwith placeholders and arguments to safely include theorderColumnandorderDirectionvalues.

To fix the problem, we need to ensure that user-controlled values are safely embedded into the SQL query. This can be achieved by using parameterized queries or prepared statements. Specifically, we should avoid directly concatenating the
orderColumnandorderDirectioninto the query string. Instead, we can use thesquirrellibrary's methods to safely construct the query.getObjectsByReferrerfunction to use parameterized queries for theORDER BYclause.orderColumnandorderDirectionvalues are safely embedded into the query using thesquirrel.Exprmethod.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
