  probe-security-programs.py reported vdp=none because cheerio.js.org serves no
  /.well-known/security.txt and no /security page — the project publishes its policy
  in the repository instead, at SECURITY.md, which is where a Node.js library's
  consumers look. Fetched verbatim 2026-09-05 (HTTP 200 from raw.githubusercontent.com).

in_scope:
  - Denial of service (ReDoS, quadratic parsing, excessive memory or CPU on crafted input)
  - Prototype pollution through parsed content or API misuse
  - Cross-site scripting enablement through unexpected serialization output
  - Supply chain — compromised dependencies, build pipeline or release artifacts
  - Information disclosure through parsing or serialization behavior
out_of_scope:
  - Vulnerabilities in applications using cheerio caused by their own logic (e.g. not sanitizing cheerio output before rendering)
  - Social engineering attacks against maintainers
