AI provenance describes how code was produced; it is not a quality judgment. Unless attribution is explicit, these are signals consistent with AI generation, not proof. Squash/rebase workflows, imported code, and rewritten history reduce accuracy.

Code quality

Top findings

Severity Finding Location
high opengrep/python.lang.security.use-defused-xml: The Python documentation recommends using defusedxml instead of xml because the native Python xml library is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. These attacks can leak confidential data and "XML bombs" can cause denial of service. [confidence low] lib/datasets/pascal_voc.py:11
high opengrep/python.lang.security.use-defused-xml-parse: The native Python xml library is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. These attacks can leak confidential data and "XML bombs" can cause denial of service. Do not use this library to parse untrusted input. Instead the Python documentation recommends using defusedxml. [confidence medium] lib/datasets/pascal_voc.py:186
high opengrep/python.lang.security.audit.dangerous-subprocess-use-audit: Detected subprocess function 'call' without a static string. If this data can be controlled by a malicious actor, it may be an instance of command injection. Audit the use of this call to ensure it is not controllable by an external resource. You may consider using 'shlex.escape()'. [confidence low] lib/datasets/pascal_voc.py:318

medium opengrep/python.lang.security.deserialization.avoid-cPickle: Avoid using cPickle, which is known to lead to code execution vulnerabilities. When unpickling, the serialized data could be manipulated to run arbitrary code. Instead, consider serializing the relevant data as JSON or a similar text-based serialization format.

medium opengrep/python.lang.security.audit.eval-detected: Detected the use of eval(). eval() can be dangerous if used to evaluate dynamic content. If this content can be input from outside the program, this may be a code injection vulnerability. Ensure evaluated content is not definable by external sources.

Static signals only: the scorer never runs the project's code. Secret findings are pattern matches that were not verified, and secret values are never stored.

Distribution signals

  • readme-download-lure: links to file hosts or shorteners: dropbox.com/s

Signals consistent with a repository that exists to distribute a download. They are heuristics, not a verdict; release files were not downloaded or inspected.
