[EU-FOSSA] Fix a security issue: RCE via unsanitized command line in "Open containing folder"

Browse Source 
Summary of the Issue:
A remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability was found when a user opens a crafted containing folder in the command line. Code execution is possible by injecting a & followed by system commands into the name of the folder.

Steps to reproduce:
Download the attached archive on Windows: unzip_me.zip (F404758)
Unzip it and navigate into it
Open the txt file inside with Notepad++
Go to File -> Open containing folder -> cmd

Impact statement:
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability would allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary commands on the victim's computer.
