Potential fix for https://github.com/rzr/z-wave-protocol-controller/security/code-scanning/8
To fix the issue, we need to validate the return value of each
snprintf
call. If the return value is negative (indicating an encoding error) or greater than or equal to the remaining buffer size, we should stop appending to the buffer to prevent overflow. This involves:snprintf
in a variable.snprintf
calls if the buffer is full or an error occurs.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
