Validate that the network interface name contains no path separators before using it in filesystem operations. Without this check, a crafted name like "../etc/foo" could write systemd-networkd config files outside the /network/ directory.

Summary
namefield against path traversal (../,/) before using it in filesystem path constructionPath::file_name()to ensure the name is a plain filename with no directory components.., and valid namesReason
The
network_config_file!macro builds paths like/network/10-{name}.networkdirectly from user input. A crafted name containing../could write systemd-networkd config files outside the/network/directory.
