Use of eval() with dynamic input

highCode regexevalCWE-95js

What it detects

eval() executes arbitrary code. If the argument is influenced by user input, this is RCE. Avoid eval entirely.

How it runs

Applied line-by-line via a tagged regex with language-specific gating. Comments are skipped. Designed for high-confidence patterns where AST parsing would be overkill.
