Potential fix for https://github.com/Ali-dev11/devforge/security/code-scanning/6
In general, any user-controlled string that is inserted into generated JavaScript code via
JSON.stringifymust be further sanitized to escape characters that could break out of string or script context (such as<,>,/, newline, etc.). The safest approach is to define a small helper in this file that maps these dangerous characters to safe Unicode escape sequences and to apply this helper to theJSON.stringify(...)result before concatenating it into the generated source.For this specific issue, we should add an
escapeUnsafeCharsfunction (and its associatedcharMap) somewhere near the top ofsrc/templates.ts(e.g., after the type definitions) and then update line 2202 so that instead of usingJSON.stringify(toTitleCase(plan.projectName))directly, it usesescapeUnsafeChars(JSON.stringify(toTitleCase(plan.projectName))). This keeps existing functionality (the title text remains the same) while ensuring problematic characters are escaped in the generatedmetaexport. No new external imports are needed; this can be implemented with plain TypeScript. All changes must be confined tosrc/templates.tswithin the shown snippet regions.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
