  "details": "The String API in iceoryx2-bb-container exposes its contents as mutable bytes through safe APIs, while String::as_str() converts those bytes into a Rust string slice without validating UTF-8. \nAn application can therefore create an invalid &str and trigger undefined behavior using entirely safe Rust.\n\nThe API methods `as_mut_bytes` and `deref_mut` where removed from the String API and their implementations (PolymorphicString, RelocatableString, and StaticString ) without replacement.\nLink to Pull-Request: https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2/pull/1956",
