 The default table prefix easily allows a SQL Injection vulnerability.
 Currently, on WordPress setup also, the default prefix is auto-filled,
 which users may ignore.

 So on WordPress setup, the table prefix can be auto-filled with randomly
 generated characters, preferably four characters, which will solve this
 issue.
