Research direction

The issue asks to update the JavaScript dependency elliptic, which the security scanner flags. Start from the JavaScript dependency manifest and lockfile, which the payload does not name, and find where elliptic is pinned. Check the linked advisory, CVE-2025-14505, for the fixed version, and read the upstream thread to see whether the maintainer's fork is the intended target. Done when the dependency resolves to a patched version and the Dependabot alert clears.
