Code Security Issues (Bandit)

⚠️ 3 potential security issues detected

1. Hardcoded Password String (Severity: Low, Confidence: Medium)

   • Location: app.py:20
   • Issue: app.secret_key = 'supersecretkey'
   • CWE-259: Use of Hard-coded Password

2. Binding to All Interfaces (Severity: Medium, Confidence: Medium)

   • Location: app.py:220
   • Issue: app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)
   • CWE-605: Multiple Binds to the Same Port

3. Hardcoded Password in Function Argument (Severity: Low, Confidence: Medium)

   • Location: init_db.py:6-11
   • Issue: password="testpass" in database connection
   • CWE-259: Use of Hard-coded Password

Recommendations

Immediate Actions

1. Update vulnerable dependencies to their latest secure versions
2. Replace hardcoded secrets with environment variables
3. Restrict network binding in development environments

Long-term Improvements

1. Implement secret management solution
2. Add continuous security scanning in CI/CD pipeline
3. Establish dependency update policy

Next Steps

1. Run ./install-codechecks.sh to install all required code quality tools
2. Update dependencies to secure versions
3. Address security findings
