The package does not properly escape user provided input when provided using the setFields method. This could lead to sql injection if the query was then executed.
Proof of concept demonstrating the injection of a single quote into a generated sql statement from user provided input.
> console.log(squel.insert().into('buh').setFields({foo: "bar'baz"}).toString());
INSERT INTO buh (foo) VALUES ('bar\'baz')
