CWE: 89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') ('SQL Injection'))

This database query contains a SQL injection flaw. The call to mysql.Connection.query() constructs a dynamic SQL query using a variable derived from untrusted input. An attacker could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary SQL queries against the database. Avoid dynamically constructing SQL queries. Instead, use parameterized prepared statements to prevent the database from interpreting the contents of bind variables as part of the query. Always validate untrusted input to ensure that it conforms to the expected format, using centralized data validation routines when possible. References: CWE OWASP/nDon't know how to fix this?
