Potential fix for https://github.com/Git-Hub-Chris/MicrosoftVsCode/security/code-scanning/6
To fix this problem, edit the
escapeBracketsfunction to also escape backslashes (\). This must be done before escaping square brackets, since otherwise newly added backslashes (from bracket escaping) themselves may need escaping. Use a regular expression with the global flag to replace each occurrence of a backslash (\) with double backslash (\\), followed by the square bracket escaping as currently done. This fix should only require editing the code on line 305, inside theescapeBracketsfunction inextensions/markdown-language-features/src/languageFeatures/copyFiles/shared.ts. No new imports are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
