CVE-2026-72904: Json Schema Ref Parser Default Dereference

Unsafe schema dereferencing using `json-schema-ref-parser` with default settings allows resolving arbitrary local files and external URLs via `$ref` pointers. This can lead to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) and arbitrary file read. Configure the resolver to disable external/file resolution or use internal-only JSON pointer resolution.
