Coverity Issue - OS Command Injection

High CWE-78
Calling "ProcessBuilder". Passing the tainted value "{"cat", filename}" to the process-invoking API may allow an attacker to modify the intention of the command.

A user can change the intent of an operating system command. This change may result in the disclosure, destruction, or modification of sensitive data or operating system resources.

How to fix

Ensure the tainted data cannot modify the intent of the OS command. If possible, use a safer library or API call instead.
