🎯 What: The SafeProcess.OpenFolder and SafeProcess.OpenExplorerAndSelect methods were using string interpolation to concatenate arguments, which could lead to argument injection if a folder or file path contained unescaped double quotes (e.g. path = "C:\\\" calc.exe").

⚠️ Risk: An attacker or malicious input could inject arbitrary arguments or commands that get executed by explorer.exe or result in arbitrary processes being launched, leading to remote code execution (RCE) or local privilege escalation depending on the context.

🛡️ Solution: Modified the methods to use ArgumentList rather than the Arguments property of ProcessStartInfo. ArgumentList safely handles quoting and escaping arguments, mitigating argument injection vulnerabilities entirely.
