Unsafe use of subprocess.Popen with shell=True (CWE-78)
More Details
The subprocess.Popen function is being called with the shell=True parameter, which allows the command to be executed through the system's shell. This can be a security risk because it exposes the application to potential command injection attacks. If an attacker can control the input passed to the subprocess.Popen function, they may be able to execute arbitrary commands on the system, leading to data theft, system compromise, or other malicious actions.
To avoid this vulnerability, it is recommended to use subprocess.Popen with shell=False (the default value) and pass the command and its arguments as a list. This way, the command is executed directly without going through the shell, reducing the risk of command injection attacks.

Command Injection in Subprocess Calls (CWE-78)
More Details
Detected user input entering a subprocess call unsafely. This could result in a command injection vulnerability. An attacker could use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the host, which allows them to download malware, scan sensitive data, or run any command they wish on the server. Do not let users choose the command to run. In general, prefer to use Python API versions of system commands. If you must use subprocess, use a dictionary to allowlist a set of commands.

Unsafe Subprocess Command Execution (CWE-78)
More Details
This rule detects instances where the Python subprocess module is used to execute external commands without properly sanitizing the input. If the command or arguments can be controlled by an untrusted source, it can lead to command injection vulnerabilities.

Unsafe Subprocess Command Execution (CWE-78)
More Details
This rule detects instances where user-controlled data is passed to the subprocess module in Python, which could lead to command injection vulnerabilities. Command injection allows an attacker to execute arbitrary system commands on the server, potentially leading to data theft, system compromise, or other malicious actions.
When user input is passed unsanitized to subprocess functions like subprocess.run(), subprocess.call(), or subprocess.Popen(), an attacker could craft input that causes the application to execute unintended system commands. This presents a significant security risk, as the attacker can potentially gain full control over the system.
To avoid this vulnerability, user input should be properly sanitized and validated before being passed to subprocess functions. Alternatively, consider using safer methods that do not involve executing external commands, or implement strict input validation and whitelisting mechanisms.
