Description: Path traversal vulnerability: __dirname combined with relative path '../package.json' can
be manipulated to access files outside intended directory, potentially exposing sensitive
system files or configuration data.

Objective: Ensure comprehensive error handling that provides meaningful context and graceful
degradation

Status:
Missing error handling: The dynamic file read operation at line 682 lacks error handling for cases where the
package.json file might not exist or be malformed.

Objective: Ensure all data inputs are validated, sanitized, and handled securely to prevent
vulnerabilities

Status:
Path traversal vulnerability: The file path constructed using __dirname at line 682 is not validated and could
potentially be manipulated to access files outside the intended directory.

Fix an incorrect path to package.json by adjusting the directory traversal from
the compiled file's location.
