CVE-2025-71176: Python Path Chmod Toctou
Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) vulnerability detected. Calling `stat()` and then `chmod()` on the same path without `follow_symlinks=False` allows an attacker to swap a file or directory with a symbolic link between the two calls. This can lead to arbitrary file permission alteration or privilege escalation. Ensure you pass `follow_symlinks=False` to
