Research direction
Examine the Params class in the WiFiManager codebase to understand how dynamic memory is allocated for params. Look for existing memory checks or overflow safeguards. The fix involves adding a memory size check before setting params to prevent overflow. Review the two comments on the issue for any additional context or suggestions. No linked pull requests exist, so the implementation is open ended.
