Spent far to long pursuing other resolutions (none of which worked, not really) when the answer was shellescape all along.

The following is a summary of changes in this pull request made by me, your security buddy 🤖. Note that this summary is auto-generated and not meant to be a definitive list of security issues but rather a helpful summary from a security perspective.

Summary:

The code change in this pull request is related to the documentation for command injection vulnerabilities in Ruby applications. The key change is the addition of a new section that explains how to use the shellescape method in Ruby to safely interpolate user-supplied input into shell commands. This is an important security best practice to mitigate command injection vulnerabilities, which can allow attackers to execute arbitrary system commands on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise. From an application security perspective, this change is positive and helpful, as it provides valuable guidance to Ruby developers on how to properly sanitize user input and prevent command injection vulnerabilities in their applications.

Files Changed:

• docs/warning_types/command_injection/index.markdown: This file is part of the documentation for the Brakeman security scanner. The patch adds a new section that explains the use of the shellescape method in Ruby to safely interpolate user-supplied input into shell commands. This is an important security improvement to the documentation, as it helps educate developers on a crucial security best practice for mitigating command injection vulnerabilities.
