🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
💡 Vulnerability: Insecure deserialization using pickle.load in scripts/optimize-conversion-engine.py.
🎯 Impact: Arbitrary code execution if a malicious payload is supplied as a cache file.
🔧 Fix: Replaced pickle with json for serializing and deserializing cache data.
✅ Verification: Ran python scripts/optimize-conversion-engine.py --analyze-only and verified it executed without error. Also confirmed cache creation and reading mechanism with json.

Replaced the vulnerable `pickle` serialization format with `json` in
`scripts/optimize-conversion-engine.py` to prevent arbitrary code execution
vulnerabilities via insecure deserialization.

Pull request overview

This PR removes insecure pickle-based caching from the conversion engine optimizer script and replaces it with JSON serialization to prevent arbitrary code execution via malicious cache files.

Changes:

  • Removed the pickle import and all pickle.dump/pickle.load usage.
  • Implemented gzip-compressed JSON write/read for cached results via json.dumps / json.loads.
