Replace the sprintf with snprintf to avoid buffer overflow. Writing too much data to the allocated space can lead to issues such as memory corruption or security threats. Some of the code scanner tool also gives warning for the usage of sprintf. snprintf helps to prevent buffer overflows by ensuring data does not exceed a specified limit. Reported by: BillSmith-EDB
