Encode system outputs

Summary

The system output must be encoded in the corresponding language (escaping).

Description

System components use structured messages to communicate with other components. When these messages include input from untrusted sources and this input is not properly escaped, they become prone to the insertion of malicious commands. For this reason, encoding or escaping must occur before sending the messages.
