Hello, our team is using XML files to describe SQL queries, and some of these XML files contain SQL injectable code.

Does there exist a static analysis (SAST) tool (such as Fortify, SonarQube, Snyk) that can detect SQL injection in UiPath XML files?

Additionally, do UiPath XML files support parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection?
