Approving the diff (clean — magic numbers 4 and 8 replaced with sizeof(float) / sizeof(uint32_t) + sizeof(float), which is the right readability improvement for a packet parser).
Heads-up that the PR title is misleading: there's no exec() call in the diff — the actual change is bounds-check clarity, not removing an unsafe call. If the title was generated by a tool against an earlier draft of this file, please ignore — the diff itself is fine and lands as-is.

Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/mmwave_sensor.c.Vulnerability
V-001firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/mmwave_sensor.c:115Description: Multiple memcpy operations in mmwave_sensor.c copy data from UART-received buffers directly into fixed-size local variables (float, uint32_t) without validating that the source buffer contains at least sizeof(destination_type) bytes. If the UART frame is shorter than expected, the memcpy reads beyond the end of the received data buffer, causing stack or heap corruption that can be exploited for arbitrary code execution on the ESP32.
