   ## Description
   
   This PR mitigates potential log injection vulnerabilities found in the 
Sender.java file. Log Injection vulnerabilities occur when unsanitized user 
input is written directly to a log entry. A malicious user could potentially 
exploit this to forge log entries or inject malicious content.
   
   For example, consider the following code:
   ```
   String responseBody = getUserInput();
   LOG.log(Level.WARNING, "Unrecognized response: " + responseBody);
   ```
   If a malicious user provides a responseBody that contains newline characters 
like "Valid response\nSomething malicious", it would be logged as two separate 
log entries. This could be exploited to forge log entries or to inject 
malicious content into the logs.
   
   To mitigate this, a new private method sanitize was introduced that replaces 
newline and carriage return characters in the logs' input strings with their 
literal equivalents, i.e., \n and \r. This method was then used to sanitize 
responseBody variable in the relevant parts of the code.
