Research direction

Start by locating the package manifest and lockfile that resolve the nested validator dependency, then inspect how validator@12.2.0 enters the dependency tree. Use the linked GitHub advisory to confirm the affected version and verify that the resolved dependency is validator@13.7.0 without introducing install or test failures.
