## AI Code Review Summary

**Files reviewed:** 8 | **Issues found:** 3 | **Suggestions:** 5

### Critical Issues

**[SECURITY] SQL Injection in user_search.py:42**
The query uses string formatting instead of parameterized queries:
```python
# Current (vulnerable)
cursor.execute(f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '{name}'")

# Suggested fix
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = %s", [name])
```

### Performance Issues

**[PERF] N+1 Query in views.py:128**
The loop fetches related objects individually. Use `select_related()`:
```python
# Current (N+1 queries)
for order in Order.objects.all():
    print(order.customer.name)

# Suggested fix
for order in Order.objects.select_related('customer'):
    print(order.customer.name)
```

### Suggestions
- Consider adding type hints to `process_data()` (line 67)
- Function `handle_request` has cyclomatic complexity of 12 (threshold: 10)
