No changes file, already covered
- [x] Input data is properly validated, `SELECT *` is avoided, SQL
injection is prevented (using placeholders for values in statements), JS
inline code is prevented especially for url redirects, and untrusted
data interpolated into shell scripts/commands is validated against shell
metacharacters.
- [x] Timeouts are implemented and retries are limited to avoid infinite
loops
- [x] If paths of existing endpoints are modified without backwards
compatibility, checked the frontend/CLI for any necessary changes
## Testing
- [x] Added/updated automated tests
- [x] Where appropriate, [automated tests simulate multiple hosts and
test for host
isolation](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/blob/main/docs/Contributing/reference/patterns-backend.md#unit-testing)
(updates to one hosts's records do not affect another)
- [x] QA'd all new/changed functionality manually
