Code contains a function to execute remote code, which at the time of analysis was extracting the "auth_user" table from Django DB. The remote code execution is partially documented and disguised with multiple warnings, but a) the 'convenience function' uses a hardcoded endpoint and loads results to the global namespace, b) the warnings are silenced by default.
