Security vulnerabilities and automated fixes for supply chain issues

A medium-to-high severity vulnerability was discovered and patched in Slidev's resolver module, where dynamically loaded theme and plugin packages specified in slide frontmatter lacked proper validation, allowing a malicious package name to execute arbitrary code with the developer's full OS privileges. This fix addresses a supply-chain-adjacent attack vector that could allow attackers to exfiltrate credentials or compromise developer machines simply by sharing a crafted markdown presentation fi
A high-severity vulnerability in `graphify/hooks.py` allowed attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution on CI/CD runners by injecting malicious hook script paths through a user-controlled configuration file. The fix introduces strict path validation against an allowlist of permitted directories before any subprocess execution. This kind of supply-chain attack vector is increasingly common and can silently compromise entire build pipelines with a single malicious commit.
