Next steps: Take a moment to review the security alert above. Review the linked package source code to understand the potential risk. Ensure the package is not malicious before proceeding. If you're unsure how to proceed, reach out to your security team or ask the Socket team for help at support@socket.dev.

Suggestion: Scrutinize new collaborator additions to packages because they now have the ability to publish code into your dependency tree. Packages should avoid frequent or unnecessary additions or changes to publishing rights.

Mark the package as acceptable risk. To ignore this alert only in this pull request, reply with the comment @SocketSecurity ignore npm/loader-runner@4.3.1. You can also ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all. To ignore an alert for all future pull requests, use Socket's Dashboard to change the triage state of this alert.

Notes: The code is a thin wrapper around vm.Script and is not itself obfuscated or demonstrably malicious. However it is inherently risky: it executes arbitrary code strings in a vm context that inherits any objects supplied by the caller. If untrusted code or an unsafe context is used, this can lead to arbitrary code execution, data leakage, or access to OS resources. Mitigations would be to ensure contexts do not contain host capabilities, add execution time/memory limits, and validate or sandbox inputs. No hardcoded secrets or obvious backdoors were found in this fragment.

Confidence: 0.90

Severity: 0.65
