Function encode_query_param 

pub fn encode_query_param(value: &str) -> String

Encodes a query parameter value for safe use in URLs.

This function prevents query parameter injection attacks by properly URL-encoding special characters that could be used to inject additional parameters or manipulate the query string.

Security

This function prevents injection attacks like:

• "foo&admin=true" → "foo%26admin%3Dtrue"
• "test;rm -rf /" → "test%3Brm%20-rf%20%2F"

Examples

use veracode_platform::validation::encode_query_param;

// Normal values pass through unchanged
assert_eq!(encode_query_param("MyApp"), "MyApp");

// Special characters are encoded
assert_eq!(encode_query_param("foo&bar"), "foo%26bar");
assert_eq!(encode_query_param("key=value"), "key%3Dvalue");
assert_eq!(encode_query_param("test;command"), "test%3Bcommand");
