Hello everyone,
I'm using zabbix 4.0 and I need to start some custom scripts linked to
actions' operations and recovery operations.
My scripts receive zabbix macros as arguments, like this:
As you can see, I use the apostrophe ' to protect the Shell from
certain dangerous characters.
But, of course, the character that the apostrophe cannot protect is
the apostrophe itself.
So, If the apostrophe is present in one of the macros, the invocation
of the script becomes corrupt.
I would therefore need these macros to escape (' -> \') the
apostrophe.
I read in this issue that such a thing has probably been done in the
past: https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-4529
But in the 4.0 version that I am using the apostrophe in the macros is
not escaped.
Is it possible that there is some flag to set to activate the
escaping? Or is there something else I'm missing about this issue?
Thanks you for your attention,
Giacomo
