The root directory can be provided by user (or a temporary one is generated) and is always formatted into connection URI for both secret driver and QEMU driver, like this: qemu:///embed?root=$root But if it so happens that there is an URI unfriendly character in root directory or path to it (say a space) then invalid URI is formatted which results in unexpected results. We can trust g_dir_make_tmp() to generate valid URI but we can't trust user. Escape user provided root directory. Always.
