What needs
a closer look.

Critical details are withheld publicly for the first 30 days after a scan. A matched pattern is a lead for investigation, not a confirmed vulnerability.

Dependencies: 136 exact runtime versions from package-lock.json checked against OSV.dev on Oct 12, 2026; 2 with known advisories. Reachability is not checked.

Unsafe deserialization

SEC006 · Security & privacy

The code loads data with a format that can run code while it is read, such as pickle or unrestricted YAML. A poisoned file, cache entry or downloaded model then runs with the agent's permissions.

SUGGESTED ACTION

Use a data-only format (JSON, safetensors, yaml.safe_load) for anything that is not fully trusted.
