If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-14132/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-14132/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-14132","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-14132/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-14132","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"On import, deepface_weights starts a daemon thread that polls every 10 seconds for the file `data/telethon_market_userbot.session` in the current working directory.

A Telethon `.session` file holds authenticated Telegram credentials, so exfiltration enables full takeover of the associated Telegram account.
