Semgrep flags shell-based helper execution in the release doctor. The current code is operator-confirmed, but it should still use structured argv where possible.

Classification: lower-priority security hardening.

Report evidence:

  • govoplan-core/scripts/release-doctor.py:895 user-confirmed suggested command execution.
  • govoplan-core/scripts/release-doctor.py:929 generated safe.directory command execution.
  • govoplan-core/scripts/release-doctor.py:1001 user-configured pager execution.
  • Semgrep: subprocess-shell-true, dangerous-subprocess-use-tainted-env-args.

Suggested next steps:

  • Represent suggested commands as argv arrays instead of shell strings.
  • Use shlex.split only for intentionally operator-entered commands and keep explicit confirmations.
  • Use subprocess.run([pager, ...]) or a narrow pager allowlist.

Codex State: done

Summary

  • release-doctor.py moved with the scripts into the meta repository.
  • The active shell/URL trust-boundary finding is now tracked in add-ideas/govoplan#1.
  • govoplan-core only has release-doctor tests left, not the tool implementation.

Closing this core issue as superseded by the meta-owned issue.
