FINDINGS ░▒▓

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.build.sh

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.tests/helpers.py

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 3 long strings with high Shannon entropy. This is common in obfuscated payloads that hide URLs, keys, or bytecode.px/handler.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.
