delegatecall with user-controlled target

Wormhole's assessment for RD-F-012 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

`Governance.sol` contains `newImplementation.delegatecall(abi.encodeWithSignature("initialize()"))` in `upgradeImplementation()`. However, the target is not user-controlled — it is derived from a cryptographically-verified governance VAA requiring 13/19 Guardian signatures. No path allows an arbitrary user to supply the delegatecall target without Guardian consensus.
