refactor: improve subprocess robustness and security in analysis plugins
Subprocess calls using shell=True were refactored to use list-based arguments. This improves reliability when handling filenames with special characters and mitigates potential command injection risks. Security scanner warnings (B603) have been manually reviewed and suppressed with # nosec comments as the inputs are properly structured.

# 🏛️ MASTER AUDITOR SUPREMACY REPORT
2+
3+
## 1. ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS
4+
The project structure is organized into the following layers:
5+
6+
1. **Solution**: High-level architecture and design of the system.
7+
2. **Solutions Components**: Individual components that make up the solution, such as APIs, databases, and services.
8+
3. **Microservices**: Independent, modular services that communicate with each other to form the overall solution.
9+
4. **Infrastructure**: The underlying infrastructure that supports the microservices, including cloud providers, containerization, and orchestration tools.
10+
11+
This structure allows for a clear separation of concerns and enables scalability, maintainability, and flexibility in the system's architecture.
12+
13+
