+// This code is directly lifted from the github.com/yuin/gopher-lua codebase in order to use the Lua interpreter as safely as possible.
+// For security reasons, we made the following changes to restrict the string library functions used when users customize the Karmada Lua interpreter.
+// 1. do not allow users to use string.gsub and string.rep when interpreting resources with lua scripts, which may be used to create overly long strings.
+// 2. limit the length of the string type parameters of the function to 1000,000.
+// 3. add timeout checks to the internal for loops within the functions.
