Scan Metadata

Our latest code security scan was conducted on 2025-04-22 03:28am. The scan analyzed a total of 19 project files and detected 5 vulnerabilities. Out of these, 3 are classified as high severity findings. The scan also detected 1 programming language, which is Python.

Finding Details

Below is a detailed table of the findings:

Severity Vulnerability Type CWE File Data Flows Detected
High SQL Injection CWE-89 libuser.py:53 1 2025-04-22 03:28am
High SQL Injection CWE-89 libuser.py:12 1 2025-04-22 03:28am
High SQL Injection CWE-89 libuser.py:25 1 2025-04-22 03:28am
Medium Hardcoded Password/Credentials CWE-798 vulpy.py:16 1 2025-04-22 03:28am
Medium Hardcoded Password/Credentials CWE-798 vulpy-ssl.py:13 1 2025-04-22 03:28am

Vulnerable Code

Below are the vulnerable code snippets:

SQL Injection Vulnerability

The following code snippet is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks:

# libuser.py:53
username = input("Enter your username: ")
password = input("Enter your password: ")
query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '" + username + "' AND password = '" + password + "'"
cursor.execute(query)

This code snippet is vulnerable because it directly concatenates user input into the SQL query, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code.

Hardcoded Password/Credentials Vulnerability

The following code snippet is vulnerable to hardcoded password/credentials attacks:

# vulpy.py:16
password = "mysecretpassword"

This code snippet is vulnerable because it hardcodes a password directly into the code, making it easily accessible to attackers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a code security report?

A: A code security report is a detailed analysis of a software project's codebase to identify potential security vulnerabilities. It provides a comprehensive overview of the project's security posture and highlights areas that require attention.

Q: What are the 3 high severity findings in this report?

A: The 3 high severity findings in this report are:

  1. SQL Injection Vulnerability: This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code into the database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification.
  2. SQL Injection Vulnerability: This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code into the database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification.
  3. SQL Injection Vulnerability: This vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code into the database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification.

Q: What is SQL injection?

A: SQL injection is a type of web application security vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code into a database. This can potentially lead to unauthorized data access or modification.

Q: How can I prevent SQL injection attacks?

A: To prevent SQL injection attacks, you should:

  1. Use parameterized queries: Instead of concatenating user input into SQL queries, use parameterized queries to separate the user input from the SQL code.
  2. Use prepared statements: Prepared statements are pre-compiled SQL queries that can be executed multiple times with different input parameters.
  3. Validate user input: Validate user input to ensure that it conforms to expected formats and patterns.
  4. Use a web application firewall (WAF): A WAF can help detect and prevent SQL injection attacks by analyzing incoming traffic and blocking suspicious requests.

Q: What is a hardcoded password/credentials vulnerability?

A: A hardcoded password/credentials vulnerability occurs when a password or credentials are hardcoded directly into the code, making it easily accessible to attackers.

Q: How can I prevent hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities?

A: To prevent hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities, you should:

  1. Use environment variables: Store sensitive data such as passwords and credentials in environment variables instead of hardcoding them into the code.
  2. Use a secrets manager: A secrets manager is a tool that securely stores and manages sensitive data such as passwords and credentials.
  3. Use a secure authentication mechanism: Use a secure authentication mechanism such as OAuth or OpenID Connect to authenticate users instead of hardcoding passwords.

Q: What is a code security scan?

A: A code security scan is a process of analyzing a software project's codebase to identify potential security vulnerabilities. It provides a comprehensive overview of the project's security posture and highlights areas that require attention.

Q: How often should I perform a code security scan?

A: You should perform a code security scan regularly, ideally as part of your continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline. This ensures that your codebase is regularly scanned for security vulnerabilities and that any issues are addressed promptly.

Q: What are some best practices for secure coding?

A: Some best practices for secure coding include:

  1. Use secure coding guidelines: Follow secure coding guidelines such as those provided by OWASP to ensure that your code is secure.
  2. Use secure libraries and frameworks: Use secure libraries and frameworks that are regularly updated and maintained.
  3. Use secure protocols: Use secure protocols such as HTTPS to encrypt data in transit.
  4. Validate user input: Validate user input to ensure that it conforms to expected formats and patterns.
  5. Use a web application firewall (WAF): A WAF can help detect and prevent security vulnerabilities by analyzing incoming traffic and blocking suspicious requests.

Q: What are some resources for learning more about secure coding?

A: Some resources for learning more about secure coding include:

  1. OWASP: OWASP provides a wealth of information on secure coding practices, including guidelines, tutorials, and resources.
  2. Secure Code Warrior: Secure Code Warrior provides training and resources on secure coding practices, including tutorials, videos, and exercises.
  3. Code security blogs: Code security blogs such as those provided by Snyk and Veracode provide regular updates on code security best practices and vulnerabilities.
  4. Code security communities: Code security communities such as those provided by Reddit and Stack Overflow provide a platform for discussing code security best practices and sharing knowledge.
