Database query built from user-controlled sources High

This query depends on a
user-provided value
.

Copilot Autofix AI about 2 months ago

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 OrderBy clause with a safer method.
  • Use squirrel.Expr with placeholders and arguments to safely include the orderColumn and orderDirection values.
