In such scenario, package / module was incorrectly loaded from Python 2 site-packages instead of
Python 3 standard library which broke such packs. (bug fix) #4658 #4674
* Fix a possible shell injection in ``linux.service`` action. User who had access to run this
action could cause a shell injection by passing compromise value for either the ``service`` of
``action`` parameter. (bug fix)

This is now not strictly needed since subprocess.Popen already takes case of that when a list of args and shell=False is used.

subprocess.call(cmd, shell=True)
