Avoid using os.system for executing system commands
This Pull Request was automatically generated by Jit. We highly recommend that you check the suggestion and make
sure everything works before merging it. An explanation of the suggested changes is available below.
What changes are proposed in this PR?
The auto-remediation feature will replace uses of os.system with subprocess.run in the vulnerable code, ensuring a safer way of executing system commands. The vulnerability will be fixed by changing the command execution method and adapting the command input format.
Why are these changes important?
Using os.system to execute system commands can lead to command injection vulnerabilities if user-supplied data is not properly sanitized. It is recommended to use the subprocess module for executing system commands, as it provides a more secure interface and avoids potential security risks associated with command injection.
