5 queries (
PolynomialReDoS.ql,MissingFullAnchor.ql,UnsafeCodeConstruction.ql,UnsafeHtmlConstruction.ql, andUnsafeShellCommandConstruction.ql) useGem::getALibraryInput()as a taint source, but when the gem is vendored this leads to FPs, since then those parameters aren't external input, but instead just ordinary call targets from a fixed set of call sites.
