This is a kind of moderate issue. The impact is not big for normal users but can be for users who want to secure their code/files/etc.
The issue is that the map of encoding/decoding languages are visible in code.
Patches
The Problem was patched in 0.2.5, so you should try to upgrade to the 0.2.5 version.
For 0.2.5 version users
Please run the post_install.py file inside the Scripts folder after downloading from pip.
Workarounds
There is a fix to this problem but it requires modifying the code. Modifying the code can lead to more issues.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for pheonixappapi, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update pheonixappapi to 0.2.5 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-258h-f687-4226 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
