Vulnerability Details
High Severity Vulnerabilities
- SQL Injection: CWE-89
The scan detected three instances of SQL injection vulnerabilities in the libuser.py file. These vulnerabilities occur when user input is not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. The affected lines of code are:
- libuser.py:53: This line of code is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks because it does not properly sanitize user input.
- libuser.py:12: This line of code is also vulnerable to SQL injection attacks because it does not properly sanitize user input.
- libuser.py:25: This line of code is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks because it does not properly sanitize user input.

Medium Severity Vulnerabilities
- Hardcoded Password/Credentials: CWE-798
The scan detected two instances of hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities in the vulpy.py and vulpy-ssl.py files. These vulnerabilities occur when sensitive information, such as passwords or API keys, are hardcoded into the code. The affected lines of code are:
- vulpy.py:16: This line of code is vulnerable to hardcoded password/credentials attacks because it contains sensitive information.
- vulpy-ssl.py:13: This line of code is also vulnerable to hardcoded password/credentials attacks because it contains sensitive information.

Recommendations
Based on the scan results, we recommend the following:
- Address the SQL injection vulnerabilities: The scan detected three instances of SQL injection vulnerabilities in the libuser.py file. These vulnerabilities occur when user input is not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. To address these vulnerabilities, please ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated.
- Address the hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities: The scan detected two instances of hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities in the vulpy.py and vulpy-ssl.py files. These vulnerabilities occur when sensitive information, such as passwords or API keys, are hardcoded into the code. To address these vulnerabilities, please ensure that sensitive information is not hardcoded into the code and is instead stored securely.
Conclusion
The scan detected a total of 5 vulnerabilities, including 3 high severity SQL injection vulnerabilities and 2 medium severity hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities. To address these vulnerabilities, please ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated, and that sensitive information is not hardcoded into the code.
Q&A: Code Security Report
We've received several questions about the code security report. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions and their answers.
Q: What is a code security report?
A: A code security report is a detailed analysis of a software application's code to identify potential security vulnerabilities. The report provides a list of vulnerabilities, their severity, and recommendations for remediation.
Q: What are the three high severity findings in the code security report?
A: The three high severity findings in the code security report are:
- SQL Injection: CWE-89 The scan detected three instances of SQL injection vulnerabilities in the libuser.py file. These vulnerabilities occur when user input is not properly sanitized, allowing an attacker to inject malicious SQL code.
- Secure Code Warrior Training Material: To learn more about SQL injection and how to prevent it, please refer to the following resources:
Q: What are the two medium severity findings in the code security report?
A: The two medium severity findings in the code security report are:
- Hardcoded Password/Credentials: CWE-798 The scan detected two instances of hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities in the vulpy.py and vulpy-ssl.py files. These vulnerabilities occur when sensitive information, such as passwords or API keys, are hardcoded into the code.

Q: How can I address the SQL injection vulnerabilities?
A: To address the SQL injection vulnerabilities, please ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated. This can be done by using prepared statements or parameterized queries.
Q: How can I address the hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities?
A: To address the hardcoded password/credentials vulnerabilities, please ensure that sensitive is not hardcoded into the code and is instead stored securely. This can be done by using environment variables or a secure storage solution.
Q: What are the benefits of addressing these vulnerabilities?
A: Addressing these vulnerabilities can help prevent security breaches, protect sensitive information, and maintain the trust of users and customers.
Q: How can I get more information about code security and vulnerability remediation?
A: For more information about code security and vulnerability remediation, please refer to the following resources:
