## Flake8 codes

| Code   | Description                                                                                                   |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| SCS100 | Use of `os.path.abspath()` and `os.path.relpath()` should be avoided in favor of `os.path.realpath()`         |
| SCS101 | Use of `eval()` and `exec()` represent a security risk and should be avoided                                  |
| SCS102 | Use of `os.system()` should be avoided                                                                        |
| SCS103 | Use of `shell=True` in subprocess functions or use of functions that internally set this should be avoided    |
| SCS104 | Use of `tempfile.mktemp()` should be avoided, prefer `tempfile.mkstemp()`                                     |
| SCS105 | Use of `yaml.load()` should be avoided, prefer `yaml.safe_load()` or `yaml.load(xxx, Loader=SafeLoader)`      |
| SCS106 | Use of `jsonpickle.decode()` should be avoided                                                                |
| SCS107 | Use of debugging code should not be present in production code (e.g. `import pdb`)                            |
| SCS108 | `assert` statements should not be present in production code                                                  |
| SCS109 | Use of builtin `open` for writing is discouraged in favor of `os.open` to allow for setting file permissions  |
| SCS110 | Avoid using `os.popen()` as it internally uses `subprocess.Popen` with `shell=True`                           |
| SCS111 | Use of `shlex.quote()` should be avoided on non-POSIX platforms                                               |
| SCS112 | Avoid using `os.open()` with unsafe file permissions                                                          |
| SCS113 | Avoid using `pickle.load()` and `pickle.loads()`                                                              |
| SCS114 | Avoid using `marshal.load()` and `marshal.loads()`                                                            |
| SCS115 | Avoid using `shelve.open()`                                                                                   |
| SCS116 | Avoid using `os.mkdir` and `os.makedirs` with unsafe file permissions                                         |
| SCS117 | Avoid using `os.mkfifo` with unsafe file permissions                                                          |
| SCS118 | Avoid using `os.mknod` with unsafe file permissions                                                           |
| SCS119 | Avoid using `os.chmod` with unsafe file permissions (W ^ X for group and others)                              |


## Plugin configuration options

This plugin supports some configuration options that may either be specified directly on the command line with a flag
using the option name as `--name` or by specifying them in one of flake8's configuration files (ie. `pyproject.toml`,
`setup.cfg`, `.flake8`, etc.).

Available options:

| Option name    | Option type | Default value | Related error code |
|----------------|-------------|---------------|--------------------|
| os-open-mode   | mode-like   | 0 (off)       | SCS112             |
| os-mkdir-mode  | mode-like   | 0 (off)       | SCS116             |
| os-mkfifo-mode | mode-like   | 0 (off)       | SCS117             |
| os-mknod-mode  | mode-like   | 0 (off)       | SCS118             |


### Mode-like options

Mode-like options are configuration options for errors/warnings that relate to some function that accepts a `mode`
parameter (or similar) that control some file or directory permissions. For those kind of options, the plugin
understands a variety of values that must be specified as `string`. They will then be parsed into a list of allowed mode
values:

- Any positive, non-zero (octal or decimal) integer value specifies the maximum value for the mode value
- A comma-separated list of (octal or decimal) integers indicates the list of allowed mode values
- 'y', 'yes', 'true' (case-insensitive) will turn on the warnings using the default value of `0o755`
- 'n', 'no', 'false' (case-insensitive) will turn off the warnings

Example of values (for `pyproject.toml`):
```toml
    [tool.flake8]
    os-open-mode = '0'            # check disabled
    os-open-mode = 'no'           # check disabled
    os-open-mode = '493'          # all modes from 0 to 493 (=0o755)
    os-open-mode = '0o755'        # all modes from 0 to 0o755
    os-open-mode = '0o755,'       # only 0o755 (notice the comma)
    os-open-mode = '0o644,0o755'  # only 0o644 and 0o755
```

You can also specify those options directly on the command line:

```sh
python3 -m flake8 --os-open-mode='0o755'
```
