Comment:

 @artsiomreutovich When you submitted this report why did you ignore the
 warning telling you not to publicly submit a security vulnerability report
 here?

 I presume you're actually referring to
 https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/security/advisories/GHSA-vvj3
 -c3rp-c85p which is a vulnerability in PHPUnit that your AI-assisted or
 automated scanning tool has picked up due to the dependencies in
 composer.json for `sodium_compat`.

 Please be ''significantly'' more careful in the future, especially when
 you use AI or automated tools to generate bug reports or report security
 vulnerabilities: https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing
 /reporting-security-vulnerabilities/.
