1. info critical → info by review dynamic-import defusedxml/common.py:78:5

   `__import__` called on a non-literal expression (ast pass, confidence 0.70)

       stdlib_name = defused_mod.__origin__
       __import__(stdlib_name, {}, {}, ["*"])
       stdlib_mod = sys.modules[stdlib_name]
       stdlib_names = set(dir(stdlib_mod))

   likely benign LLM, confidence 0.88 A compatibility helper in defusedxml imports the stdlib XML module named by its own `__origin__` attribute and inspects its names.

   Reasoning

   The snippet is from defusedxml's compatibility code. It takes the stdlib module name from the `__origin__` attribute of the defused module, imports it, and reads its attribute names so the defused replacements can be checked against the originals. The import target is a module name taken from the package's own metadata, not from untrusted input or a decoded payload, and nothing here decodes, spawns processes, or reaches the network. The non-literal `__import__` is a known pattern in this kind of shim, so the finding is a false positive from the dynamic-import signal.

Reproduce This Scan

Run disclude locally to verify. These commands scan the published file; the "new in this release" marks come from comparing it with the previous release's file, which they don't repeat. Add --format sarif for SARIF output. Add --llm (with an API key in the environment) to include the LLM review.
