FINDINGS ░▒▓

criticalGo os/exec usageos/exec is used to run external commands. In malware it drops payloads, modifies the system, or opens shells.cmd/WiiUDownloader/darkMode.go

	case "darwin":
		cmd := exec.Command("defaults", "read", "-g", "AppleInterfaceStyle")
		output, err := cmd.Output()
		if err == nil && strings.TrimSpace(string(output)) == "Dark" {

criticalGo os/exec usageos/exec is used to run external commands. In malware it drops payloads, modifies the system, or opens shells.cmd/WiiUDownloader/mainwindow.go

func execCommand(name string, args ...string) error {
	cmd := exec.Command(name, args...)
	return cmd.Start()
}

warningGo unsafe package usageunsafe package bypasses Go's type safety. Malware uses it for memory tricks, pointer casts, and hiding behavior.cmd/WiiUDownloader/ui_idle.go

	"runtime/cgo"
	"unsafe"
)

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.data/bundle_paths.py

        run_fn(cmd)
    return subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)

    print(f"$ {cmd}")
    result = subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
    if result.returncode != 0:
        print(f"STDOUT: {result.stdout}")

infoSuspicious files are not reachable from entry pointsFlagged files exist but are not imported by any entry point. They may be dead code, tests, or attack payloads triggered by another mechanism.+2

warningHigh-entropy string literalsFound 4 long strings with high Shannon entropy. This is common in obfuscated payloads that hide URLs, keys, or bytecode.data/create_bundle.py+3

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.
