Potential fix for https://github.com/Azure-Samples/eShopLite/security/code-scanning/20
To fix the issue, the
bingsearchconnectionName
value should be sanitized before being logged. This involves removing potentially harmful characters such as newlines (\n
,\r
) and ensuring the value is safe for inclusion in log entries. TheString.Replace
method can be used to remove these characters. This approach ensures that the log entry cannot be manipulated by malicious input.The fix will involve modifying the logging statement on line 52 to use a sanitized version of
bingsearchconnectionName
. Additionally, the sanitization logic should be applied consistently to other configuration values logged in the same method.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
