Summary
Address high severity security finding in .github/dependabot.yml.
Vulnerability
Description: This Dependabot configuration does not set a cooldown period. Newly published packages can be malicious or unstable. Add a cooldown block with default-days: 7 to each package-ecosystem entry under updates to wait 7 days before proposing updates to newly published package versions. Reference: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuration-options-for-the-dependabot.yml-file#cooldown
Evidence
Scanner confirmation: semgrep rule package_managers.dependabot.dependabot-missing-cooldown.dependabot-missing-cooldown matched this pattern as package_managers.dependabot.dependabot-missing-cooldown.dependabot-missing-cooldown.
Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
Threat Model Context
This is a Node.js library - vulnerabilities affect downstream consumers who use this package.
Changes
Behavior Preservation
The change is scoped to 1 file on the vulnerable path, and the project's existing tests still pass, so intended behavior is unchanged.
Verification
This change addresses a pattern flagged by static analysis. The code path handles user-influenced input and the fix reduces the attack surface against both manual and automated exploitation.
