Review signals across current setups: connection review. 152 listed items (named-host connections, static matches, dependency advisories) are below and do not change this verdict.
Repository processes attempted these non-loopback connections; proxies can hide the final hostname. 7 distinct locations. 20 attributed processes.
OSV reports a known vulnerability in this dependency version. 13 distinct locations. 76 findings.
Reviewed as expected for a test run: attempted writes that failed, so nothing was written; resolver address lookups that send no data.
