    "Show that `options.imports` key names in the vulnerable checkout are not validated with the forbidden-identifier-character check before reaching that compilation path.",
    "Show that imports are merged with `assignInWith`, which enumerates inherited properties, so polluted prototype keys can be copied into the imports object used by `_.template`.",

    "Treat the advisory description as authoritative for the two vulnerable paths: unvalidated `options.imports` key names and inherited-property copying during imports merge.",

      "rationale": "Clearly traces attacker-controlled import key names from `options.imports` through `assignInWith`/`keysIn` and `keys(imports)` into the `Function()` parameter list, including the inherited-property/prototype-pollution gadget path. Minor deduction because it references the missing validation generically rather than naming the exact forbidden-identifier-character check."

      "score": 18,
      "rationale": "Impact is technically credible: code injection at template-compilation time when an attacker can influence import keys or inherited polluted properties. It keeps the necessary preconditions. Slight deduction for broad environment framing ('server-side RCE' / browser execution) without code-specific deployment context."

      "rationale": "Cites concrete lines and functions in `lodash.js`, including the `assignInWith` definition, import merge, key extraction, and `Function()` sink. Evidence is strong, though it could have tied more explicitly to the exact validation logic/fix intent from the advisory."

  "strengths": [
    "Accurately identifies both vulnerable paths in the advisory: unvalidated `options.imports` key names and inherited-property copying via `assignInWith`.",
    "Provides a concrete source-to-sink chain into the dynamic `Function()` constructor rather than generic 'code injection' language.",
    "Correctly explains why inherited polluted properties become own properties on the merged `imports` object and then reach `keys(imports)`.",
    "Remediation guidance aligns with advisory intent: validate import names and replace inherited-property merge behavior with an own-properties-only alternative."

  "misses": [
    "Does not explicitly name the exact forbidden-identifier-character validation used as the comparison point for `variable`.",
