The module pandora-doomsday infects other modules

⚠️ A module called pandora-doomsday has been caught spreading its tentacles to infect other modules! This devious little bugger has since been unpublished, but that doesn't mean we should ignore it! Think of it like a mischievous virus at a party, sneaking from one guest to another, making everyone else sick without them even knowing it! Just as you'd want to quarantine that party crasher, we need to be vigilant with our code. If this vulnerability were exploited, it could lead to a cascade of infections throughout your system, potentially altering or damaging other modules where it spreads. Although it hasn't been reported as actively exploited, staying alert is essential to maintain the integrity of your software!
