  message: User data flows into this manually-constructed SQL string. User data can be safely inserted
    into SQL strings using prepared statements or an object-relational mapper (ORM). Manually-constructed
    SQL strings is a possible indicator of SQL injection, which could let an attacker steal or manipulate
    data from the database. Instead, use prepared statements (`connection.PreparedStatement`) or a safe
    library.
