Fix: Command Injection and Sandbox Escape in CodeInterpreterTool (#4516)

Summary

Addresses two security vulnerabilities reported in #4516:

1. Command Injection (CWE-78): run_code_unsafe() passed user-provided library names directly to os.system(), enabling shell command injection. Fixed by replacing with subprocess.run() using list arguments, which avoids shell interpretation.

2. Sandbox Escape (CWE-94): SandboxPython failed to block Python object introspection methods (__class__, __bases__, __subclasses__, etc.) that allow traversing the object hierarchy to access blocked modules. Fixed by:

   • Adding a BLOCKED_ATTRS set of dangerous dunder attributes
   • Adding a regex-based pre-execution scan (_check_for_blocked_attrs) that rejects code containing these patterns
   • Adding getattr, setattr, delattr, type, breakpoint to UNSAFE_BUILTINS

17 new tests added covering both vulnerability classes.

Updates since last revision

• Fixed noqa comment placement: S603 suppression moved to the subprocess.run( line (where ruff expects it), S607 remains on the args line.
• Unrelated change in tool.specs.json came in via merge with main (removes AvailableModel enum and model_name from Web Automation Tool specs) — not part of this fix.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Blocking type as a builtin is aggressive — type(x) is extremely common in normal Python for type-checking. This will break legitimate sandbox code that uses type(). Decide whether to keep it blocked, allowlist single-arg type(), or remove it from UNSAFE_BUILTINS.
• Regex static analysis produces false positives on string literals — _check_for_blocked_attrs matches at the string level, so code like x = "__class__" or # comment mentioning __bases__ will be rejected even though it's harmless. Evaluate if this trade-off is acceptable.
• Regex static analysis can be bypassed by determined attackers — Dynamic attribute construction (e.g., chr(95)+chr(95)+...) or indirect access patterns could evade string-level detection. getattr/setattr are also blocked (reducing attack surface), but this is defense-in-depth, not a complete solution. Consider whether mandatory Docker or RestrictedPython is warranted for stronger guarantees.
• Unused MagicMock import in test file — minor, was added but never used.

Suggested test plan: Run the full code interpreter test suite, then manually try common sandbox patterns — especially type(x), string literals containing dunder names, and basic arithmetic/list operations — to verify no regressions in legitimate use cases.
