A medium-severity vulnerability was discovered in a Slack data processing component where the use of Python's built-in `eval()` function to parse error message dictionaries could allow an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.

This change eliminates a critical attack surface that could have been exploited through crafted error messages return
