tl;dr:

Yet, this encryption does nothing to shield a website from other pervasive dangers. For instance, HTTPS does not inherently protect against vulnerabilities in the website's code, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

In essence, while HTTPS is an indispensable component of web security, it is merely one piece of a much larger puzzle.
