To fix the issue, the SQL query on line 16 should be rewritten to use parameterized queries, which safely embed user input into the query. This approach prevents SQL injection by ensuring that user input is treated as data rather than executable code.

Specifically:

  1. Replace the string concatenation in the query with a parameterized query using placeholders (%s).
  2. Pass the name parameter as an argument to the execute method, ensuring it is properly escaped by the database driver.
