What it detects
SQL injection: query built via string formatting: an injection check run by the textscan analyzer.
Evidence
The matching source path, line, and bounded code observation produced by the native rule.
Remediation
Use parameterised queries: db.Query("SELECT … WHERE x = ?", value). Never concatenate or fmt.Sprintf user-controlled values into SQL.
Limitations
This check is limited to the applicability and evidence delivered by textscan. Review the evidence in context; a match is a finding input, while confidence and policy determine its disposition.
