Potential fix for https://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugin-OpenWebif/security/code-scanning/22
To fix the problem, we should escape both backslashes and single quotes in the
stationvariable, so that the resulting string can be safely embedded in a single-quoted string literal in HTML or JavaScript. The general approach is to first replace all backslashes (\) with double backslashes (\\), then replace all single quotes (') with escaped single quotes (\'). This matches what is done on line 774 fordesc. The fix should be applied on line 767, replacing the currentstation.replace(/'/g,"\\'")withstation.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\').replace(/'/g,"\\'"). No additional imports or dependencies are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
