Sanitize or encode a request body in middleware?

Hi !~

I have a file middleware.js which contains a method

module.exports.handleRecalc = (req, res, next) => {
  if (req.method === 'POST' && req.url.includes('application/recalculate')) {
    const recalcStructure = structureService.recalc(req.body);
    res.send(recalcStructure);
  } else {
    next();
  }
};

Now, when I create a pull request on Github, Checkmark will complain about sending req.body un-sanitized or not encoded.


Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can get rid of that error?

Thank you!

What I have tried:

I tried to add the following lines in the method:

 <pre lang="Javascript">
const sanitizedReqBody = expAutoSan.sanitizeIt(req.body);
const recalcStructure = structureService.recalc(sanitizedReqBody);

and I imported

const expAutoSan = require('express-autosanitizer');

, but the error is still there on checkmark.
