Have we not learned, yet? The number of points this submission has already earned says we have not.

People, do not trust security advisors who tell you to do such things, especially ones who also remove the original instructions entirely and replace them with instructions to run their tools instead.

The original security advisory is at https://github.com/nrwl/nx/security/advisories/GHSA-cxm3-wv7... and at no point does it tell you to run the compromised programs in order to determine whether they are compromised versions. Or to run semgrep for that matter.

What exactly are “such things” that should cause us not to trust? Executing programs?

Don't use the hacked program to check if it's hacked! For starters, it can lie.
