What it detects
Command injection: Runtime.exec / ProcessBuilder with a concatenated argument: an injection check run by the textscan analyzer.
Evidence
The matching source path, line, and bounded code observation produced by the native rule.
Remediation
Pass the command + args as a String[] / List<String> of literals; never build a shell string from user input. If a shell is unavoidable, validate against an allowlist.
Limitations
This check is limited to the applicability and evidence delivered by textscan. Review the evidence in context; a match is a finding input, while confidence and policy determine its disposition.
