Actually, that's something a query builder helps with since it deals with structured data and the builder can do whatever escaping is needed without a regex. An ORM is a different matter.
You're technically right, of course, but can you really call something an ORM if it doesn't have one or more query builders? And that's the bug right there, you need more than one query builder, so how to neatly plug those in?

An ORM requires a query builder. A query builder alone is not an ORM. I don't think we need/want a complete database-ORM, but a query builder is very valuable to have. --Larry Garfield
