This pull request addresses a potential security on issue #277 and reliability issue related to manual JSON string construction with interpolated, user-controlled values. Previously, the
OnAcknowledgementPacketOverridemethod built thesudoMsgJSON payload usingfmt.Sprintf, directly interpolating theackAsJsonvalue into a JSON string. This approach risks incorrect JSON formatting and potential injection vulnerabilities.Changes
json.Marshalto safely encode the struct into JSON, ensuring proper escaping and quoting of all fields.This change improves code safety, maintainability, and ensures compliance with Go’s best practices for JSON handling.
