FINDINGS ░▒▓

warningPython subprocess / os.system usageos.system() or subprocess with shell=True / suspicious commands can execute arbitrary shell commands. Plain pip/package installs are usually benign.easyocr/scripts/compile_dbnet_dcn.py

        os.chdir(os.path.join(parent_dir,'DBNet','assets','ops','dcn'))
        result = subprocess.run(
            "python setup.py build_ext --inplace", shell=True, capture_output = True
        )

criticaleval() usage detectedeval() executes arbitrary code and is commonly used in malware to run obfuscated payloads fetched from remote servers.easyocr/DBNet/decoders/pss_loss.py

        self.eps = 1e-6
        self.criterion = eval('self.' + cls_loss + '_loss')

Scores are heuristics. A “safe” verdict means no known-malicious patterns were found — clever malware can look boring. Wrong verdict? Flag it above; confirmed false positives become regression tests.
