This section gives you a quick snapshot of the scan, so you can see what's new and what needs attention. Keeping track of these metrics is key to maintaining a strong security posture. Each scan provides a fresh look at your code, identifying any new issues and tracking the status of existing ones. The languages detected give us context on the type of vulnerabilities that may exist.
High-Priority Findings
The list below presents the 5 most relevant findings that need your attention, with automatic remediation available for 3 of them.
It's important to focus on the most critical issues first. These are the findings that pose the biggest risks to your application. Make sure you understand the details of each finding, including the affected code and the suggested remediation steps. Prioritizing these findings is the most effective way to improve your security posture quickly.
Vulnerable Code

Remediation SuggestionThese SQL Injection vulnerabilities are critical. Exploiting these could lead to serious data breaches. Parameterized queries, as suggested, are essential for preventing such attacks. The links to the vulnerable code and the suggested fixes are provided to help you solve it. Remember to carefully review the code and apply the recommended changes. Utilizing parameterized queries is a best practice for all your database interactions.
Medium-Severity Findings: Addressing Hardcoded Credentials
Next, let's look at the Hardcoded Password/Credentials issues. These findings are less severe than SQL injection but are still important to fix. Hardcoded credentials create a significant security risk. Anyone with access to the codebase can potentially use these credentials. The best practice is to never hardcode sensitive information like passwords or API keys directly into your code.
Findings Details
| Severity | Vulnerability Type | CWE | Language | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 High |
SQL Injection | CWE-89 | Python* | 3 |
 Medium |
Hardcoded Password/Credentials | CWE-798 | Python* | 2 |
Here are the hardcoded credential findings:
- vulpy-ssl.py:13: This file contains a hardcoded credential. The link to the vulnerable code is provided so you can quickly find it.
- vulpy.py:16: Another hardcoded credential. Similar to the above, the location of this code is specified. These types of vulnerabilities are very easy to exploit, so it's best to address them immediately. Implement secure storage mechanisms. These include environment variables or configuration files that are not stored in the codebase. Use a robust secrets management system for production environments.
Remediation Steps for Hardcoded Credentials
- Remove Hardcoded Credentials: First and foremost, remove the hardcoded passwords and API keys from your code. Do not commit or push any code with sensitive information in plain text.
- Environment Variables: Store sensitive data in environment variables. You can then access these variables within your code.
- Configuration Files: Use a configuration file to store your credentials. Make sure you don't commit this configuration file to your repository. Protect the configuration file with appropriate file permissions to limit access.
Why These Fixes Matter
Addressing these issues is essential for your application's security. It protects your data and your users. Keeping your code secure is an ongoing process. Address these findings quickly. Regularly review your code to identify and address security vulnerabilities.
