Security vulnerabilities and automated fixes for aiohttp issues

A critical missing authentication vulnerability in `pz_minimax.py` allowed any network-connected user to delete stored MiniMax prompts via the `DELETE /pz_easyuse/minimax-prompts/{index}` endpoint without any access control. An attacker could enumerate sequential indices to wipe all user-created prompts from the shared JSON file. The fix restricts the DELETE endpoint to localhost-only requests by checking `request.remote` against loopback addresses.
A critical sensitive data exposure vulnerability was discovered in `nodes/google_gemini.py` where the Google Gemini API key was returned in plaintext through a web endpoint. The fix masks the token in API responses, preventing credential theft from any client that queries the token endpoint. This protects downstream users of this Node.js library from unauthorized access to their Google Gemini services.
A critical security update addresses both path traversal vulnerabilities in file system endpoints and a dependency issue with aiohttp's cookie handling. This fix demonstrates how modern applications face security threats on multiple fronts—from custom code vulnerabilities to third-party library weaknesses—and why comprehensive security auditing is essential.
