Security update has been released for @thi.ng/egf to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Potential for arbitrary code execution in `#gpg`-tagged property values (only if `decrypt: true` option is enabled)

CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 8.8 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as High - 6.5 severity.

Solution

[A fix](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/commit/3e14765d6bfd8006742c9e7860bc7d58ae94dfa5) has already been released as v0.4.0Workaround:
By default, EGF parse functions do NOT attempt to decrypt values (since GPG is only available in non-browser env).

However, if GPG encrypted values are used/required:

1. Perform a regex search for `#gpg`-tagged values in the EGF source file/string and check for backtick (\`) chars in the encrypted value string
2. Replace/remove them or skip parsing if present...
