🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Found subprocess.run executing external command git without resolving its full path, which leads to path hijacking (CWE-78 / B603 bandit vulnerability) in src/ledgermind/core/reasoning/git_indexer.py.
🎯 Impact: This makes it susceptible to local privilege escalation or malicious binary interception if the PATH environment variable is manipulated.
πŸ”§ Fix: Resolved the full absolute path of the git executable using shutil.which("git") before executing subprocess.run, gracefully returning empty lists or throwing exceptions if it's missing.
βœ… Verification: Successfully compiled checking code syntax and ran test module using py_compile.
