Something is fishy as /usr/share/dracut/modules.d/50plymouth
is a part of dracut.  Does 'rpm -V dracut' has anything to say?
/sbin/dracut is also a "Bourne-Again shell script" so you can try
the same approach on the next level.

Just in case - an output of 'file' for
/usr/share/dracut/modules.d/50plymouth/* shows:

Bourne-Again shell script text executable
POSIX shell script text executable
Bourne-Again shell script text executable
Bourne-Again shell script text executable
ASCII text
POSIX shell script text executable
Bourne-Again shell script text executable
POSIX shell script text executable
POSIX shell script text executable

so you still possibly have further openings without bringing sources
into a play.
