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.scripts/maintenance/cleanup_organize.py

    print(f"Running: {command}")
    result = subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, text=True)
    if result.returncode != 0:
        print(f"ERROR: {result.stderr}")

                        tags = []

criticalRemote script piped into a shellA shell script downloads remote content and executes it directly (e.g. `curl … | bash`). The payload is never stored or reviewable and can change server-side — a classic malware/backdoor install pattern.scripts/run/memory_wrapper_cleanup.sh

    else
        log "ERROR: uv not found. Install with: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh"

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.
