It acts as security theater, as it misleads linters while executing untrusted input via the bash wrapper. The vulnerability was still present in `sandboxed_web_e2e.py`. **Prevention:** Remove `/bin/bash` wrapper from `subprocess` calls in CI scripts. Always use `shlex.split(command)` to safely parse strings into a list of arguments and pass the list directly to `subprocess.Popen` or `subprocess.run`. + +## 2024-05-18 - Missing shell=False in Subprocess Execution +**Vulnerability:** Execution of shell commands via `subprocess.run` and `subprocess.Popen` without explicitly specifying `shell=False`. +**Learning:** Even when securely parsed into a list using `shlex.split()`, static linters like Bandit (B603) will flag subprocess execution unless `shell=False` is explicitly specified.
