Fixes https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/security/code-scanning/21
To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the
selectionvariable is properly encoded before being used in the URL. This can be achieved by using a function that encodes the value to make it safe for inclusion in a URL. The best way to do this is to use theencodeURIComponentfunction, which encodes a URI component by replacing each instance of certain characters with one, two, or three escape sequences representing the UTF-8 encoding of the character.selectionvariable is concatenated into the URL string to useencodeURIComponent(selection).initControlsfunction, specifically on line 57.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix.
