Findings 2
Worker thread usage
NPS-05AD9F263EAB
Uses make-asynchronous to run regex operations in worker threads. This is a legitimate pattern documented in the code for enabling true timeout support, not a backdoor. No shell spawning, process execution, or external network requests are present.
Dynamic code execution
NPS-625459A64C53
Uses new RegExp(source, flags) to construct regular expressions from user-provided source and flags strings. While RegExp construction is not arbitrary code execution like eval, it accepts untrusted input and could in theory allow ReDoS if not timeout-protected. The package wraps all regex execution in timeouts, mitigating this risk.
