Fixes https://github.com/george-gca/multi-language-al-folio/security/code-scanning/8
To fix the problem, we should replace the use of
URI.open
with a safer alternative that does not callKernel.open
internally. Specifically, we can useNet::HTTP
to perform the HTTP request and read the file content. This approach avoids the security risks associated withURI.open
.URI.open
call withNet::HTTP
to fetch the content of the URL.download_file
method to useNet::HTTP
for downloading the file.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
