Potential fix for https://github.com/aioutlet/payment-service/security/code-scanning/1
To fix this issue, we must sanitize the user-supplied
OrderIdbefore logging. The recommended fix is to strip line breaks and other control characters fromOrderId, ensuring it cannot be used for log forging. This can be done usingstring.Replaceor a regular expression to eliminate problematic characters. The safest approach is to apply.Replace("\r", "").Replace("\n", "")or use a regex to remove all control characters. Edits should be made directly in the line where logging occurs—in this case, line 54 in Controllers/PaymentsController.cs.If
OrderIdis not a string (e.g., int), then logging it directly is not problematic. But since nothing in the code shows its type and we want to future-proof against type changes, it's safest to handle it as a string defensively.No new imports are needed for basic string replacement.
