Security control: Static Code Analysis Python Semgrep

Type: Python.Lang.Security.Audit.Subprocess-Shell-True.Subprocess-Shell-True

Description: Found 'subprocess' function 'check_output' with 'shell=True'. This is dangerous because this call will spawn the command using a shell process. Doing so propagates current shell settings and variables, which makes it much easier for a malicious actor to execute commands. Use 'shell=False' instead.

Severity: HIGH
