`insert_rows` concatenates `table` (and likely `cols`) directly into SQL strings. If these values can be influenced by untrusted input, an attacker can inject SQL through identifiers. Affected files: utils.py Signed-off-by: tuanaiseo <221258316+tuanaiseo@users.noreply.github.com>

mbid_mapping/mapping/utils.pySolution
Treat table/column names as trusted constants only. Enforce allowlists for identifiers and construct SQL with
psycopg2.sql.SQL+Identifierinstead of string concatenation.Changes
