PulseForge intentionally drives CPU and memory utilization to extreme levels. That behavior is part of its documented function; privilege escalation, network access, persistence, and firmware modification are not.

Please report a security issue privately to the repository maintainers rather than opening a public issue. Include the version, Windows build, reproduction steps, and impact. Do not include signing keys, access tokens, or unrelated system data.

Release binaries should be built from tagged source, Authenticode-signed, and published with SHA-256 checksums.
