Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Code Injection: The project loads Hugging Face model components using from_pretrained. If trust_remote_code is not explicitly set to False in all fallback paths, loading untrusted models can result in arbitrary code execution.

Insecure Deserialization: Using unsafe yaml.load APIs allows arbitrary Python object instantiation from untrusted configuration files. Standardizing on yaml.safe_load is critical for all configuration parsing pathways.

Command Injection: Shell command execution via subprocess APIs using string formatting or shell=True allows command injection. Safe list-based arguments should be strictly enforced.
