Static Code Analysis Risk: Injection - SQL injection DB cursor execute
User-controlled data from a request is passed to 'execute()'. This could lead to a SQL injection and therefore protected information could be leaked. Instead, use django's QuerySets, which are built with query parameterization and therefore not vulnerable to sql injection. For example, you could use Entry.objects.filter(date=2006).

Flask started with debug=True (app.run(..., debug=True)) which leaves framework debug behavior enabled in committed code
Details
🔧 How do I fix it?
Remove debugging statements like console.log, debugger, dd(), or logic bypasses like || true. Keep legitimate logging for monitoring and error handling.

Function index mixes HTTP presentation, database access, OS command execution, file I/O, network requests, and XML parsing in a single route handler.
Details
🔧 How do I fix it?
Split classes that handle database, HTTP, and UI concerns into separate, focused classes.

| <!-- SQL Injection --> | ||
| <form action="/" method="post"> | ||
| <h2>SQL Injection</h2> | ||
| <input type="text" name="sql" value="SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'admin' OR '1'='1'"> |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added form default uses "SELECT * FROM users ..." (SELECT * retrieves all columns and can expose sensitive data).
Details
✨ AI Reasoning
1) The added HTML form default value includes the literal SQL statement "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'admin' OR '1'='1'", which demonstrates use of a SELECT * wildcard in a newly introduced template string.
2) Embedding a SELECT * pattern is harmful because it encourages queries that retrieve all columns, making code fragile to schema changes and exposing unnecessary/sensitive data.
3) This is a clear violation of the AIK_AI_no_select_star rule and was introduced by this PR (the form with this default SQL value is newly added).
🔧 How do I fix it?
Explicitly list needed columns in production queries. Use SELECT * only for debugging, exploration, or single-column tables where it's reasonable.

| # 2 - Command Injection | ||
| if 'command' in request.form: | ||
| cmd = request.form['command'] | ||
| process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) #command injection! |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
One-line subprocess.Popen call combines command execution with multiple stdout/stderr and shell=True arguments, making the invocation harder to read and audit.
Details
✨ AI Reasoning
1) The code runs an external command by calling subprocess.Popen with several keyword arguments in a single line.
2) Combining the external command invocation and multiple I/O-related keyword parameters on one line increases cognitive load when reviewing for security and behavior (shell=True, stdout/stderr pipes).
3) This harms maintainability because it's harder to spot which flags are set and to audit for command injection risks.
4) Violation is true because the diff added this one-line Popen call.
5) Confidence is relatively high given the security-sensitive context.
🔧 How do I fix it?
Break long lines to enhance clarity. Aim for a maximum of 80-120 characters per line, depending on the context and coding standards.
