5. Security Audit Flags Unchecked ELECTRON_RENDERER_URL Allowing Potential Remote Code Execution in Electron Development Builds

A security audit conducted on Codex v0.9.0 has identified a high-severity vulnerability (L-02) in Electron application development builds. The issue centers on how the framework handles the `ELECTRON_RENDERER_URL` environment variable during development mode. The main window process loads this variable directly via `lo...
