Block		System shell access: npm dotenv in module child_process Module: child_process Location: Package overview From: package.json → npm/dotenv@18.0.0 ℹ Read more on: This package | This alert | What is shell access? 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: Packages should avoid accessing the shell which can reduce portability, and make it easier for malicious shell access to be introduced. Mark the package as acceptable risk. To ignore this alert only in this pull request, reply with the comment @SocketSecurity ignore npm/dotenv@18.0.0. 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.
Block		Minified code present: npm dotenv with 100.0% likelihood Confidence: 1.00 Location: Package overview From: package.json → npm/dotenv@18.0.0 ℹ Read more on: This package | This alert | What's wrong with minified code? 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: In many cases minified code is harmless, however minified code can be used to hide a supply chain attack. Consider not shipping minified code on npm. Mark the package as acceptable risk. To ignore this alert only in this pull request, reply with the comment @SocketSecurity ignore npm/dotenv@18.0.0. You can also ignore all packages with @SocketSecurity ignore-all.
