Potential fix for https://github.com/MirkoZETA/FlexNetSim-API/security/code-scanning/6
To fix the problem, we need to ensure that any user-provided input is properly sanitized before it is used in a context where it could be executed or displayed. In this case, we should escape the
resultvariable before using it in thebuild_simulation_commandfunction. This can be achieved by using thehtml.escapefunction from the standard library to escape any potentially harmful characters.We will modify the
run_simulation_streamfunction to escape theresultvariable before it is used. This change will ensure that any user-provided input is properly sanitized, preventing XSS vulnerabilities.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
