7z cli - how to pass a password with whitespaces?

Question

How to pass a password with whitespaces to the 7z cli argument -p ?

I want to use the cli to extract a archive with a password. The p-argument is a bit ugly, because you have to write the password directly after the argument.

Following does not work:

7z t test.zip -pmy password
7z t test.zip -p="my password"

Following works, but with limitation:

7z t test.zip -p"my password"

The limitation is your password should not include quotes. Example the following will fail. The password is: "evil quotes"

7z t test.zip -p""evil quotes""

Because the password is now empty.

Is there a way to pass a safe string for the password?

The cli command is generated by JavaScript (NodeJS, exec) not manually executed in cli (windows).

Places double-quotes around the flag AND password. For example:

7z l "-pThis is password" filename.7z
