      Issue Summary

      Bamboo variables are exposed in the build logs when using special characters such as £ (the pound sign)

      This is reproducible on Data Center: Yes

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a plan with a script task. The script task uses Bamboo variables such as the following: 
        if [ -z "${bamboo.blahpassword}" ]
then
echo "ERROR"
exit 1
fi
      2. Run the plan on a Windows agent

      Expected Results

      The task will fail but the variable will not be exposed

      19-Oct-2023 09:07:57	C:\Users\Administrator\bamboo-agent-home\xml-data\build-dir\PRO-PLAN-JOB1>if [ -z "********" ]
19-Oct-2023 09:07:57	Failing task since return code of [C:\Users\Administrator\bamboo-agent-home\temp\PRO-PLAN-JOB1-5-ScriptBuildTask-2287074437231148067.bat] was 255 while expected 0

      Actual Results

      The task will fail but the variable is exposed

      19-Oct-2023 09:06:51	C:\Users\Administrator\bamboo-agent-home\xml-data\build-dir\PRO-PLAN-JOB1>if [ -z "test£123" ]

      Workaround

      Replace the £ with another special character
