The members concern the exec(base64.b64decode(...)) pattern in commands generated by the project, including a bug report of a SentinelOne alert on hermes_cli/_launchers.py and a similar pattern in tools/file_operations.py. Two titles are security fixes aimed at no longer shipping or emitting such commands.
