[correctness]
The use of suspiciousReason.replace(/\|/g, ' & ') correctly replaces all occurrences of the pipe character. Ensure that suspiciousReason is always a string to avoid runtime errors. Consider adding a check or conversion to string if there's any chance suspiciousReason could be non-string.

Potential fix for https://github.com/topcoder-platform/challenge-api-v6/security/code-scanning/72
The best way to fix this problem is to ensure that all occurrences of the pipe character (
|) in thesuspiciousReasonstring are replaced with" & ". This can be achieved by using a regular expression with the global flag (/g), specifically.replace(/\|/g, ' & '), so that every pipe in the string is replaced—not just the first. Only line 178 needs to be changed, and no additional imports or method definitions are required.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
