Potential fix for https://github.com/SFARPak/ACode/security/code-scanning/12
To fix this problem, we need to ensure that all backslashes in the
pathare themselves escaped before escaping spaces. This is done by first replacing each single backslash (\) with a double backslash (\\). Then, replace each space (\). These two replacements must be performed sequentially in that order—first escape all backslashes, then escape spaces—so there's no ambiguity and the output is parseable.Specifically, in the file
webview-ui/src/utils/path-mentions.tsat line 12, update theescapeSpacesfunction to first perform.replace(/\\/g, "\\\\")and then.replace(/ /g, "\\ "). No new imports are needed.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
