Description

AnyIO 4.14.0 accepts the POSIX extra_groups argument on anyio.run_process() and anyio.open_process(), but open_process() forwards the wrong variable to the backend: when extra_groups is not None, it assigns kwargs["extra_groups"] = group instead of extra_groups. As a result, callers cannot reliably clear or set supplementary groups for child processes. In a disposable Linux container, Python's subprocess.run(..., extra_groups=[]) clears a synthetic parent supplementary group list, while anyio.run_process(..., extra_groups=[]) preserves the parent groups. If group is also supplied, AnyIO passes an integer as extra_groups and the call fails with TypeError. This is a POSIX privilege-dropping correctness issue for applications that rely on AnyIO subprocess helpers to launch less-privileged child processes.
