🔍 The problem

Change this code to not dynamically execute code influenced by user-controlled data.
See issue in Legit

🔒 Fix Details

The vulnerability is caused by the use of eval() to parse user input, which can lead to code injection attacks. The remediation replaces the eval() calls with parseFloat() to safely parse the input as numbers without executing arbitrary code. This change preserves the original functionality while eliminating the injection risk. The commented-out code using parseInt() is replaced with parseFloat() to allow decimal values, which is more appropriate for contribution percentages.
