      Detected the use of eval(...). This can introduce 
      a Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) vulnerability if this 
      comes from user-provided input. Follow OWASP best 
      practices to ensure you handle XSS within a JavaScript
      context correct, and consider using safer APIs to evaluate 
      user-input such as JSON.parse(...).
