Detected SQL statement that is tainted by event object. This could lead to SQL injection if the variable is user-controlled and not properly sanitized. In order to prevent SQL injection, used parameterized queries or prepared statements instead. You can use parameterized statements like so: cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM projects WHERE status = %s', 'active')
