Query Injection Vulnerability

Related Issue

• Closes: 🐛 Bug Report: Query Injection Vulnerability #642

---

Description

Patched a query injection vulnerability in useGitHubData.ts. User inputs for search filters are now properly encoded/sanitized using URLSearchParams (or encodeURIComponent) rather than being directly concatenated into the raw query string.

---

How Has This Been Tested?

• Tested search functionality locally using standard alphanumeric inputs.
• Attempted to inject special characters into the search bar to verify they are now safely encoded and do not break the GitHub API request.
