🎯 What: Added a missing timeout to the urllib.request.urlopen call in scripts/review/snowball.py.

⚠️ Risk: Without a timeout, HTTP requests can hang indefinitely if the server is unresponsive or deliberately stalling connections. This can lead to denial of service (DoS) or exhaust system resources (e.g. threads, file descriptors) resulting in the script hanging indefinitely and becoming unresponsive.

🛡️ Solution: Configured a 10-second timeout by passing timeout=10 to urllib.request.urlopen, ensuring the request fails fast in case of network or server issues. The existing generic Exception handling appropriately catches timeout errors.

The timeout parameter addition correctly addresses the security vulnerability described in the PR. The 10-second timeout prevents indefinite hanging, and the existing exception handling appropriately catches timeout errors. No blocking issues identified.
