S601 for sanitized command

[dmcnulla]

I'm getting flagged for S601 on the following code even though I've added sanitization of the command.

from paramiko import SSHClient
from shlex import join as shlex.join
...
class RemoteConnectionClass:
    ...

    def _create_ssh_client_conn(self, dbs_name: str, ssh_client=SSHClient) -> SSHClient:
        """Create, connect, and return ssh client."""
        ssh_client = ssh_client()
        ...
        return ssh_client

    def run_cmd(self, cmd: list[str], target_node: str, output_as_list=False,
                 std_out_timeout=DEFAULT_TIMEOUT) -> (str or [str], int):
        ssh_client = self._create_ssh_client_conn(target_node)

        # S601 is flagged for the following line
        std_in, std_out, std_err = ssh_client.exec_command(shlex_join(cmd))

        std_out.channel.settimeout(std_out_timeout)
        exit_code = std_out.channel.recv_exit_status()
        output = std_out.readlines() if output_as_list else std_out.read().decode()
        return output, exit_code

python 3.10.0 on macos Ventura 13.0.1 paramiko 2.9.5

Is there a recognized sanitization, or do I have to comment it with # noqa: S601 because it is already santized ?

Thanks,

Dave
