Please include as much of the following information as possible:

• Vulnerability Type: (e.g., Code Injection, Path Traversal, etc.)
• Affected Component: Which part of CC Linter is affected
• Attack Vector: How the vulnerability can be exploited
• Impact: What an attacker could achieve
• Proof of Concept: Steps or code to reproduce the issue
• Environment: Operating system, Node.js version, CC Linter version

1. Acknowledgment: We'll acknowledge receipt within 24 hours
2. Initial Assessment: We'll provide an initial assessment within 72 hours
3. Investigation: We'll investigate and develop a fix

CC Linter reads files from the file system. Consider these security implications:

• Path Traversal: We validate file paths to prevent directory traversal attacks
• File Permissions: CC Linter respects file system permissions
• Symlink Handling: We handle symbolic links safely

CC Linter uses regular expressions for pattern matching:

• ReDoS Protection: We avoid complex regex patterns that could cause ReDoS
• Input Limits: We limit input size to prevent resource exhaustion
• Safe Patterns: All regex patterns are reviewed for security implications

The CLI processes command-line arguments:

• Argument Validation: All CLI arguments are validated
• Shell Injection: We prevent shell injection attacks
• Output Sanitization: Output is sanitized to prevent terminal injection
