I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

We already have very efficient string matching tools for those, though

How is a string matching tool going to find a single .?

You’ve given us an example so PoC||GTFO

A single character, per your definition, is not blatant malicious code. Stop moving the goalposts.

It’s clear you don’t understand the space and you don’t seem to have any interest in acting in good faith based on your other comments so good luck.

I'm not moving any goalposts. The addition of the . was very blatant. They literally just added a syntax error. It went undetected because humans don't have the stamina to exhaustively do code review down to that level. Computers (even AI) don't have that issue.

You are clearly out of your depth here.
