This PR refactors the DatabaseHelperUpdateTableField method to retrieve the connection string by name from the application configuration instead of accepting a raw connection string directly. It validates the provided connection string name, throws an exception if it’s not found, and uses the safe value for opening the database connection, mitigating connection string injection risks.

  • Connection String Injection
    The original method took an arbitrary connection string and passed it directly into SqliteConnection, which could allow an attacker to inject malicious content. We now require the caller to pass a named entry defined in ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings, validate its presence, and only use the trusted, configured connection string value.

Security Configuration Added:
• We introduced use of ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings to centralize and secure connection string definitions in the application configuration (e.g., app.config or web.config).
• This configuration ensures that connection strings are stored securely and not in code, reducing exposure.

Assumptions and Next Steps:
• We assume that a matching connection string entry exists in the configuration file under the name provided via the connectionString parameter. Please review and add or update the configuration entry for your environment as needed.
