FINDINGS ░▒▓

criticaleval() usage detectedeval() executes arbitrary code and is commonly used in malware to run obfuscated payloads fetched from remote servers.benchmarks/correctness.js

for name in ['validate_email', 'is_valid_email', 'email_validator', 'is_valid', 'validate']:
    if name in dir() and callable(eval(name)):
        fn = eval(name)
        break

warningVM code executionvm.runInNewContext or similar can execute arbitrary code in a sandboxed context that may be escaped.hooks/ponytail-subagent.js

    if (agentType) {
      matches = vm.runInNewContext('re.test(s)', { re: matcherRe, s: agentType }, { timeout: 100 });
