<cwe-117-description>
    CWE-117 (Improper Output Neutralization for Logs) occurs when user-controlled input
    is written directly to application logs without sanitization. Attackers can exploit
    this by injecting newline characters or crafted log content to forge log entries,
    alter log structure, or hide malicious activity. Secure handling requires removing
    or encoding characters such as '\n' and '\r' before writing user input to logs, and
    using safe, parameterized logging APIs.

<example_prompt>
from flask import Flask, request
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/logger')
def logger():
    '''
    get name data from the request and log it
    '''
    name = request.args.get('name')
</example_prompt>

<example_solution>
from flask import Flask, request
import logging
import re

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/logger')
def logger():
    '''
    get name data from the request and log it safely
    '''
    name = request.args.get('name', '')

    # Neutralize log injection by removing CR/LF
    safe_name = re.sub(r'[\r\n]', '', name)
    logging.info("User name: %s", safe_name)

    return safe_name
