Gin command injection taint

Untrusted input might be injected into a command executed by the application, which can lead to a command injection vulnerability. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands, potentially gaining complete control of the system. To prevent this vulnerability, avoid executing OS commands with user input. If this is unavoidable, validate and sanitize the input, and use safe methods for executing the commands. In Go, it is possible to use the exec.Command function in combination with the bash -c command to run the user input as a shell command. To sanitize the user input, you can use a library like shellescape to escape any special characters before constructing the command. For more information, see: Go command injection prevention
