code/py-eval-exec
Python eval()/exec() with dynamic input
What it detects
eval/exec run arbitrary Python. Treat as RCE if the input is untrusted.
How it runs
Applied line-by-line via a tagged regex with language-specific gating. Comments are skipped. Designed for high-confidence patterns where AST parsing would be overkill.
