With this resolution made through #1076 and #1077, we make sure that this method is only called from within the library and we are no longer enabling the ``shell=True`` option.\n\n#### CWE - 78\n\nFor more information see https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/78.html\n\n#### More information\n\nVisit https://bandit.readthedocs.io/en/1.7.8/plugins/b602_subprocess_popen_with_shell_equals_true.html to find out more information.\n",
