Incomplete string escaping or encoding High

This does not escape backslash characters in the input.

Copilot Autofix AI about 1 month ago

To fix the problem, we need to ensure that all special characters, including backslashes, are properly escaped in the input string. The best way to achieve this is by using a well-tested sanitization library, such as escape-string-regexp, which handles all necessary escaping. This approach ensures that the input string is correctly sanitized without introducing new vulnerabilities.

Incomplete string escaping or encoding High

This does not escape backslash characters in the input.

Copilot Autofix AI about 1 month ago

To fix the problem, we need to ensure that all occurrences of the backslash character are properly escaped in the input string. This can be achieved by using a regular expression with the global flag (g) to replace all occurrences of the backslash character. Additionally, we should ensure that the existing replacements for square brackets are also using the global flag to replace all occurrences.

The best way to fix the problem without changing existing functionality is to update the name.replace method calls to include the global flag and add a replacement for backslashes. This will ensure that all occurrences of the specified characters are properly escaped.
