Potential fix for https://github.com/microsoft/AcademicContent/security/code-scanning/15
To fix the problem, the user-supplied
commentsvalue should be encoded before being appended to the URL as a query parameter. The best way to do this in JavaScript is to use the built-inencodeURIComponentfunction, which safely encodes all special characters so that the value can be safely included in a URL query string. The change should be made in the filearchive/Azure Blockchain Service/Resources/public/scripts/functions.js, specifically on line 23, where thecommentsvariable is appended to the URL. No new imports are needed, asencodeURIComponentis a standard JavaScript function.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
