Sanitizer boundary: Deserialization turns attacker-influenced bytes into structured values or objects.
The pack does not provide a callable signature for this record; the watched access path is shown directly.

CWE-502 ↗
Deserialization of Untrusted Data
Untrusted data is deserialized without ensuring the resulting object is safe.
Attacker's-eye view · deserialization
A crafted payload invokes constructors, resolves types, or creates objects with behavior beyond plain data.
// modeled boundary: Argument[0] -> ReturnValue
loads(attacker_influenced_value);
1Use a data-only format when possible.
2Select a safe loader and schema.
3Bound size, depth, and resource use.
These checks require the surrounding codebase. The model names the boundary; it does not decide reachability or prove that a guard dominates every path.
Is this a bug in your code?Atropos stops here — by design
Atropos identifies Argument[0] -> ReturnValue as a deserialization sanitizer. It cannot see whether untrusted data reaches this call in your repository.
Lachesis is the codebase-level step: it traces reachability and guards for this symbol.
