SQL Injection ( 🔴 High ) - The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The code directly takes user input to build an SQL command, risking attackers changing the query to access or damage data. This is called SQL Injection.
- The input "request.form['sql']" is used raw, allowing attackers to insert malicious SQL like "' OR 1=1 --".
- This can modify SQL queries, leading to data leaks, deletion, or unauthorized access.
- Since SQL commands are important and often handle sensitive info, this flaw can cause serious security breaches.
🪄Fix Explanation: The fix replaces direct execution of user-provided SQL with a parameterized query that safely uses a user_id input, preventing SQL injection by avoiding concatenation of raw SQL commands from external input.
- Removed direct execution of arbitrary SQL via "cursor.execute(sql)", eliminating injection risk.
- Added parameter binding by fetching "user_id" from form input and using "cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", (user_id,))".
- Wrapped query execution in a try-except block to handle SQL errors securely without exposing sensitive details.
- Validates presence of "user_id" and returns a clear message if missing, ensuring only intended queries are run.
- Outputs query results or appropriate status messages without exposing raw SQL query execution.
💡Important Instructions: Ensure input validation for
user_id is strict (e.g., integer type) before executing the query, and confirm the database driver supports parameterized queries with ? placeholders.

Unchecked Error Condition ( 🔴 High ) - [PLANNED FOR DEPRECATION. SEE MAINTENANCE NOTES AND CONSIDER CWE-252, CWE-248, OR CWE-1069.] Ignoring exceptions and other error conditions may allow an attacker to induce unexpected behavior unnoticed. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The code uses a bare "except" clause that silently ignores all exceptions during database queries. This prevents noticing errors from the "cursor.execute" call.
- Silently ignoring errors in "cursor.execute" hinders troubleshooting and debugging database issues.
- Unhandled exceptions may cause hidden bugs or inconsistent app states, reducing code maintainability.
- Skipping exception details wastes valuable diagnostic info, complicating code reviews and QA validation.
🪄Fix Explanation: Replacing a bare except with explicit logging captures errors without silencing them, improving error visibility and aiding debugging while maintaining program flow.
- The original bare "except:" silently ignored all exceptions, hiding potential issues and making debugging difficult.
- Using "except Exception as e:" properly catches exceptions while excluding system-exiting exceptions, ensuring safer error handling.
- Introducing "logging.error("Error executing SQL query: %s", e)" records the exact error, enabling visibility into runtime problems.
- This change improves maintainability by allowing developers to quickly identify and fix issues instead of silently ignoring failures.
💡Important Instructions: Ensure logging is properly configured in the application entry point to capture and store error logs for effective monitoring.

Got it—I’ll switch to catching sqlite3.Error explicitly. For example:
try:

except sqlite3.Error as e:
logging.error("SQLite error during initial user lookup: %s", e)
# optional: db.rollback()
# optional: raise to stop flow, or set a safe response
Do you want me to re-raise after logging or keep the flow and return a generic error?

Assignment to Variable without Use ( ⚪ Low ) - The variable's value is assigned but never used, making it a dead store. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The variables "username" and "password" are assigned empty strings but never used anywhere else in the code, creating dead stores. This wastes memory and clutters the code.
- Dead stores like "username = ''" increase code complexity and reduce readability by adding unnecessary lines.
- Unused variables make maintenance harder as developers may waste time understanding their purpose.
- These assignments consume minor resources unnecessarily, impacting performance in larger-scale codebases.
🪄Fix Explanation: Removed unused variable assignments to eliminate dead stores, improving code clarity and preventing confusion about variable usage.
"username" and "password" variables were assigned but never used, which was unnecessary and potentially misleading.
Removing these dead stores reduces cognitive load and makes the codebase cleaner and easier to maintain.
This change does not affect functionality but helps avoid warnings from linters or static analysis tools.
💡Important Instructions: Review other initialization blocks for similar unused variables to maintain consistency and avoid dead code.

Good catch—this diff is wrong. It removes the ‘if command’ guard and the ‘cmd’ assignment, which breaks the handler and isn’t related to the dead-store issue. The proper change is just to remove the unused username/password assignments and leave the command block intact. Want me to outline the minimal patch?

SQL Injection ( 🔴 Critical ) - The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The code directly runs SQL commands from user input without checking them, risking malicious commands that can harm the database or steal data.
- "cursor.execute(sql)" runs raw SQL from "request.form['sql']" without filtering special characters.
- An attacker can input SQL like "DROP TABLE users;" in the form, causing data loss or exposure.
- This vulnerability is called SQL Injection, where invalid SQL tricks downstream systems into running dangerous commands.
🪄Fix Explanation: The fix restricts SQL queries to safe, parameterized SELECT statements on the 'users' table only, preventing arbitrary SQL execution and mitigating SQL injection risks by validating input and using a parameterized query for user IDs.
- Input is stripped and checked to start with SELECT and include "from users" using "allowed = user_sql.lower().startswith("select") and "from users" in user_sql.lower()".
- A regex "re.match(r"select\s+\*\s+from\s+users\s+where\s+id\s*=\s*(\d+)", user_sql, re.IGNORECASE)" extracts numeric user IDs safely.
- If a user ID is matched, a parameterized query "cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=?", (user_id,))" is used, preventing injection.
- Only exact queries of "SELECT * FROM users" or the parameterized ID query are allowed; all others result in an error message and no execution.
- This eliminates use of direct untrusted input in SQL, effectively neutralizing special SQL elements that bypass input sanitation.
💡Important Instructions: Ensure that the database driver supports parameterized queries as used here, and confirm the input form cannot submit malformed SQL bypassing these checks. Logging disallowed queries could help monitor abuse attempts.

Sure. This is SQL injection: the app reads raw SQL from request.form['sql'] (line 46) and runs it directly with cursor.execute(sql) (line 49). An attacker can submit a crafted query to dump or modify data. Example: SELECT * FROM users; DROP TABLE users; or UNION-based exfiltration. I can show a quick PoC against your / SQL form and outline a safe, parameterized approach. Want me to walk through that?

Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor ( 🔴 Critical ) - The product does not properly prevent a person's private, personal information from being accessed by actors who either (1) are not explicitly authorized to access the information or (2) do not have the implicit consent of the person about whom the information is collected. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The code exposes private personal data to users without proper access checks, letting unauthorized people see info they shouldn't.
- The code reference "aws_access_key_id" suggests it handles sensitive credentials or info linked to users.
- No access control checks mean anyone can request and receive this private data without permission or consent.
- Attackers can exploit this by querying or extracting the data, compromising user privacy and security.

Command Injection ( 🔴 Critical ) - The product constructs all or part of a command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended command when it is sent to a downstream component. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: This code runs system commands using user input without proper checks, letting attackers run harmful commands by injecting extra instructions.
- The code uses "subprocess.Popen" with external input directly, which can alter the command's behavior unexpectedly.
- Attackers can add special characters (like ; or &&) to run multiple harmful commands in one call.
- This is risky if commands handle sensitive data or system tasks, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data loss.
🪄Fix Explanation: The fix mitigates command injection by disallowing shell=True, parsing input safely with "shlex.split", and enforcing a whitelist of allowed commands and their specific allowed arguments before executing.
- Removed "shell=True" in "subprocess.run", preventing shell interpretation of input that enables injection.
- Utilized "shlex.split(cmd)" to safely tokenize the input command string, avoiding unsafe string concatenation.
- Implemented an "allowed_commands" whitelist with explicit allowed arguments per command, blocking unauthorized commands and arguments.
- Added validation to reject empty commands and disallowed arguments, returning clear error messages instead of executing unsafe input.
- Included a timeout in "subprocess.run" to limit resource abuse from long-running commands.
💡Important Instructions: Ensure any user inputs passed as commands match the defined whitelist. No other code changes are required for this fix to function securely.

OS Command Injection ( 🔴 Critical ) - The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The code runs OS commands using external input without proper filtering, risking attackers injecting harmful commands. This can lead to unauthorized actions on the system.
- Using "subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True)" runs commands via the shell, allowing injection if "cmd" includes bad input.
- If an attacker controls "cmd", they could add extra commands like "rm -rf /", causing severe harm.
- The vulnerability arises because special characters in "cmd" aren’t neutralized, so the shell interprets them as separate commands.
🪄Fix Explanation: The fix removes shell=True to prevent command injection by avoiding shell interpretation and validates user input by restricting commands to a safe whitelist and disallowing special metacharacters that could alter the command's behavior.
The previous use of "shell=True" is replaced by "shell=False" with argument splitting, avoiding shell parsing and injection risks.
Input is checked against a set of disallowed special characters ("disallowed_meta") to block potentially dangerous shell metacharacters.
Commands are split into arguments and validated against a strict whitelist "allowed_cmds = {"echo", "ls", "date"}" to restrict execution to safe commands only.
Empty commands are explicitly handled with a message ""Invalid command: empty."" to prevent unintended behavior.
Error outputs are preserved and shown if commands fail, aiding debugging without exposing sensitive system details.
💡Important Instructions: Ensure that the split on spaces (
cmd.strip().split()) fits the expected command format to avoid incorrect argument parsing; consider edge cases with quoted arguments if needed.

SQL Injection ( 🔴 Critical ) - The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. View in Corgea ↗
More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The code runs SQL commands using external input without safekeeping, risking unauthorized data access or changes. This is called SQL Injection vulnerability.
- "cursor.execute(sql)" directly runs SQL built using outside input, letting attackers modify queries.
- Malicious input like "'; DROP TABLE users; --" can delete tables or leak data by altering the SQL.
- This flaw threatens sensitive data because the database trusts unchecked commands from "sql".

I saw your ping. What do you want me to do here—mark false positive, accepted risk, fixed, duplicate, fix in progress, or send more details? If you want a different fix, say “request different fix.”

SQL Injection ( 🔴 High ) - The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component.

More Details
🎟️Issue Explanation: The code directly takes user input to build an SQL command, risking attackers changing the query to access or damage data. This is called SQL Injection.
- The input "request.form['sql']" is used raw, allowing attackers to insert malicious SQL like "' OR 1=1 --".
- This can modify SQL queries, leading to data leaks, deletion, or unauthorized access.
- Since SQL commands are important and often handle sensitive info, this flaw can cause serious security breaches.
