Improper sanitization of delegated role names
Impact
### Impact The tough library, prior to 0.12.0, does not properly sanitize delegated role names when caching a repository, or when loading a repository from the filesystem.

AWS would like to thank https://github.com/jku for reporting this issue. ### Patches A fix is available in version 0.12.0. ### Workarounds No workarounds to this issue are known. ### References https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/security/advisories/GHSA-wjw6-2cqr-j4qr
