We used our AI-Guardian product to identify and remediate a security issue. Specifically, a Semgrep SAST violation (dangerous-system-call) was detected at line 232 in ansible/roles/api/files/vAPI.py. The issue involved executing a system command via os.popen() with user-controlled input, which could have allowed command injection.
The vulnerability has been fixed by replacing the unsafe call with subprocess.run() as recommended by Semgrep. The updated implementation uses argument lists to avoid shell execution, adds proper error handling, and includes timeout protection.
This change fully resolves the Semgrep finding and enhances the security and stability of the API.
