🎯 What: Replaced xml.etree.ElementTree with defusedxml.ElementTree in public_source_transforms.py to fix a vulnerability.
⚠️ Risk: Using the standard library's xml.etree.ElementTree directly exposes the parsing to XML-based vulnerabilities like XML External Entity (XXE) injections and XML bombs (billion laughs attacks) when parsing untrusted files.
🛡️ Solution: Migrated to defusedxml.ElementTree which provides safeguards against these attack vectors while retaining the same parsing API. Extracted Element type directly from xml.etree for accurate typing without runtime risk.
