I've definitely gone down the rabbit hole of trying/being forced to fix issues like this. It starts off as just someone taking a shortcut of doing a little shell scripting in a python program or whatever. Generally the best tool I've found for fixing this is python's shlex.quote - https://docs.python.org/3/library/shlex.html but YMMV (multiple levels may be needed). The real best solution is not to shell out from your program when possible. :)
