However, there are **3 medium-severity issues** to address:\n\n1. **ReDoS vulnerability** in JSON parsing (high CPU impact potential)\n2. **Shell injection risk** in secret retrieval (low practical impact due to execSync with shell:false)\n3. **Path traversal risk** in cache directory construction (mitigated but should be hardened)\n\n**No SQL injection, XSS, or authentication/authorization issues** were found (expected for a Node.js CLI tool). The plugin properly enforces **ADR-150's architectural constraint** that MetaHarness remains optional and degradable.\n\n**Immediate actions**: Fix the ReDoS pattern, add API key redaction in error logs, and implement environment variable filtering.\n",

The architectural decisions (version pinning, subprocess safety, graceful degradation) show security-conscious design. All identified issues are low-impact and represent opportunities for defense-in-depth improvements rather than critical vulnerabilities.\n",
