Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
Streams/Python/franceinfo.py.Vulnerability
V-001Streams/Python/franceinfo.py:54Description: The Python scripts use os.system() to execute shell commands for file deletion with hardcoded strings. The wildcard 'rm watch*' could delete unintended files if the working directory changes or if an attacker creates files matching the pattern. Using os.system() for file operations is a security anti-pattern that can lead to unintended consequences.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: An attacker with write access to the script's execution directory could create files named 'watch_important_config' or similar that match the 'watch*' pattern.
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-001flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
