When data from an untrusted source is put into a logger and not neutralized correctly, an attacker could forge log entries or include malicious content. Please use the Jsoup.clean() function to sanitize data.

Semgrep Assistant suggests the following fix: Sanitize the param variable using Jsoup.clean before logging it.

View step-by-step instructions

1. Import Jsoup at the top of your file if it is not already imported:

   import org.jsoup.Jsoup;

2. Sanitize the param variable using Jsoup.clean before logging it:

   String sanitizedParam = Jsoup.clean(param, Whitelist.none());

3. Replace the original param in the log statement with the sanitized version:

   log.info("foo" + sanitizedParam + "bar");

This ensures that any potentially malicious content in the param variable is neutralized before being logged.

This code change should be a good starting point:

Suggested change

	log.info("foo"+param+"bar");
	// Sanitize the untrusted input using Jsoup.clean() before logging
	String sanitizedParam = Jsoup.clean(param, Whitelist.none());
	log.info("foo" + sanitizedParam + "bar");
