Is Shuorenhua safe?
- Python shell/command execution
- Python dynamic code execution
- Python filesystem read
repo is an AI agent_skill analyzed by SkillTotal's deterministic static scanner. The scan found no malicious indicators, though 5 risky constructs are reported for review. It can: dynamic code execution, filesystem read, filesystem write, network egress and shell execution — capabilities are what the code can do, not a verdict on intent. Risk score 0/100 (low).
repo
Automated static-analysis result. It can contain false positives and false negatives, and is not a claim about the intent of Shuorenhua's authors. Report a false positive.
Behavioral traits
How this component maps to the CSA agentic threat model. Descriptive — it never affects the risk score.
Findings (5)
The code turns strings into live code at runtime (eval / new Function / exec).
exec(compile(source, str(path), "exec"), module.__dict__)
Why it matters: If those strings aren't fixed and trusted, they become a way to run arbitrary code.
Fix: Avoid evaluating dynamically constructed code; if unavoidable, ensure the input is a trusted constant and never derived from external data.
The component can run operating-system commands or spawn processes.
result = subprocess.run(
[sys.executable, str(script), "--check"],
cwd=ROOT,
capture_output=True,
text=True,
check=False,
)proc = subprocess.run(command, cwd=attempt, input=(attempt / "prompt.txt").read_bytes() if plan["provider"] == "claude" else b"",
stdout=out, stderr=err, timeout=plan["timeout_seconds"], env=env)out = subprocess.run(
["gh", "api", "graphql", "-f", f"query={query}"],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, text=True, check=True).stdoutWhy it matters: Powerful and often legitimate — confirm the commands aren't built from untrusted input.
Fix: Confirm the command and its arguments are fully controlled and not derived from untrusted input; avoid shell=True.
The component reads files from disk.

with Path(path).open("xb") as stream:Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but worth confirming it can't be steered into reading sensitive files.
Fix: Confirm which files are read and that paths cannot be influenced by untrusted input to reach sensitive locations.
The component writes or deletes files on disk.

json.dumps({"reports": model_reports, "cases": file_results}, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2) + "\n",
encoding="utf-8",
)path.write_text(text, encoding="utf-8")
shutil.rmtree(fake_home, ignore_errors=True)
out.write_text(svg, encoding="utf-8")
Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but worth confirming the paths can't be controlled by untrusted input.
Fix: Confirm which files are written/deleted and that paths cannot be influenced by untrusted input.
The component makes outbound network requests.
import urllib.request
url = f"{base_url}/w/api.php?{urllib.parse.urlencode(params)}"request = urllib.request.Request(
url,
headers={"User-Agent": "shuorenhua-human-corpus/2.3.1 (fixed-revision extractor)"},
)with urllib.request.urlopen(request, timeout=30) as response:
Why it matters: Usually legitimate, but confirm the destinations are expected and no sensitive data leaves.
Fix: Confirm the destination hosts are expected and that no sensitive data is sent off-host.
