How does using an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) help mitigate sequel injection vulnerabilities?
An Object Relational Mapper (ORM) is a software tool that facilitates the interaction between a relational database and an application by mapping objects to database tables. It provides an abstraction layer that allows developers to work with objects instead of directly interacting with the underlying database. This abstraction can help mitigate sequel injection vulnerabilities, which

What is sequel injection and why is it a significant vulnerability in web application security?
Sequel injection, also known as SQL injection, is a significant vulnerability in web application security. It occurs when an attacker is able to manipulate the input of a web application's database queries, allowing them to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This vulnerability poses a serious threat to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data stored
