Provenance

Accepted risks

Findings the reviewer chose to accept rather than block on.

SourceRuleReasonAccepted byWhen
semgrep semgrep:child-process-import AI (semgrep): external-editor's core function is spawning an external editor process; child_process import is fundamental to its design and not a security risk. ai
semgrep semgrep:child-process-spawn AI (semgrep): spawn() is used to launch the user's configured text editor binary — the package's primary purpose. Not a security risk in this context. ai
