🔴 HIGH RISK

While adding \; and {} fixes the find syntax, the command remains a no-op. The variables $placeholder and $value are not expanded by the parent shell because they are enclosed in a single-quoted string. Furthermore, the filename {} is passed to the subshell as a positional parameter, but the script tries to reference it as $file, which is undefined.

To fix this, pass the variables as arguments to the subshell:

find ... -exec sh -c 'placeholder="$1"; value="$2"; file="$3"; sed -i "s|$placeholder|$value|g" "$file"' _ "$placeholder" "$value" {} \;

Alternatively, use {} + for better performance if processing many files.
