Potential fix for https://github.com/rtCamp/rtMedia/security/code-scanning/13
To fix the problem, we should change the string-based
replacecall to use a regular expression with the global (g) flag so that all instances of]are removed, not just the first. This aligns with the general recommendation for safe and complete escaping or normalization.Concretely, in
app/assets/admin/js/settings.js, around line 159, update:to:
This uses a regex literal that matches the
]character, properly escaped inside the character class, and thegflag ensures every occurrence in the string is replaced. No additional imports or helper methods are needed, and the functional behavior for the typical single-]case remains unchanged while correctly handling any unexpected extra]characters.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
