Security vulnerabilities and automated fixes for configuration issues

A high-severity configuration flaw was discovered in a Dependabot configuration file where no cooldown period was set for package updates. This meant newly published—and potentially malicious or unstable—package versions could be immediately proposed for updates, exposing the project to supply chain attacks. The fix adds a 7-day cooldown period to allow the community to identify compromised packages before they're adopted.
A Dependabot configuration file was missing a critical cooldown period, potentially exposing the project to malicious or unstable package updates immediately after publication. This high-severity issue was resolved by adding a 7-day cooldown period, giving the security community time to identify compromised packages before they're automatically proposed as updates.
