🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: Command argument injection in utils/io/files.py search functionality, where untrusted queries could be interpreted as grep options (e.g. --version).
🎯 Impact: Attackers could inject arbitrary command options into grep or git grep processes if they can control the search query input.
πŸ”§ Fix: Added -e to explicitly denote the query as a pattern, and the -- separator to signify the end of command-line options before passing untrusted positional arguments.
βœ… Verification: Ran pytest suite ensuring all tests pass with the modified logic.

… argument injection vulnerability in our file search. I updated the search subprocess calls in `utils/io/files.py` to include the `--` separator and `-e` flag, preventing user-controlled input from being parsed as command options and effectively mitigating the vulnerability.
