To fix the log injection issue, we need to sanitize the user-provided input before logging it. The best way to do this is to remove any potentially harmful characters from the input string. Specifically, we should replace newline characters with spaces to prevent log forging. Additionally, we should ensure that the user input is clearly marked in the log entry to avoid confusion.
