What was tested
Code Review
The PR is a minimal security fix:
No code changes beyond dependency version bump. The existing exercises the RSA functionality that node-forge provides (key generation, certificate parsing, encryption, signing).
Note
The 4 vulnerabilities fixed (GHSA-2328-f5f3-gj25, GHSA-q67f-28xg-22rw, GHSA-5m6q-g25r-mvwx, GHSA-ppp5-5v6c-4jwp) are all in node-forge's RSA/certificate handling code paths that this plugin uses.
Recommendation: Approve and merge.
