    Audit

    Detected Flask app with debug=True. Do not deploy to production with this flag enabled as it will leak sensitive information. Instead, consider using Flask configuration variables or setting ‘debug’ using system environment variables.

    Found a Flask cookie with insecurely configured properties. By default the secure, httponly and samesite ar configured insecurely. cookies should be handled securely by setting secure=True, httponly=True, and samesite='Lax' in response.set_cookie(…). If these parameters are not properly set, your cookies are not properly protected and are at risk of being stolen by an attacker. Include the secure=True, httponly=True, samesite='Lax' arguments or set these to be true in the Flask configuration.
    Likelihood: LOW
    Confidence: LOW
    CWE:
    - CWE-614: Sensitive Cookie in HTTPS Session Without ‘Secure’ Attribute
    OWASP:
    - A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration

    Detected Flask route directly returning a formatted string. This is subject to cross-site scripting if user input can reach the string. Consider using the template engine instead and rendering pages with ‘render_template()’.
    Likelihood: HIGH
    Confidence: MEDIUM
    CWE:
    - CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (‘Cross-site Scripting’)
    OWASP:

    Running flask app with host 0.0.0.0 could expose the server publicly.
    Likelihood: HIGH
    Confidence: HIGH
    CWE:
    - CWE-668: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere
    OWASP:

    Setting ‘WTF_CSRF_ENABLED’ to ‘False’ explicitly disables CSRF protection.
    Likelihood: LOW
    Confidence: LOW
    CWE:
    - CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
    OWASP:
    - A01:2021 - Broken Access Control

    Found a template created with string formatting. This is susceptible to server-side template injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
    Likelihood: LOW
    Confidence: LOW
    CWE:
    - CWE-96: Improper Neutralization of Directives in Statically Saved Code (‘Static Code Injection’)
    OWASP:

    top-level app.run(…) is ignored by flask. Consider putting app.run(…) behind a guard, like inside a function

    CWE:
    - CWE-668: Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere
    OWASP:
    - A01:2021 - Broken Access Control

    The flask.request.host is used to construct an HTTP request. This can lead to host header injection issues. Vulnerabilities that generally occur due to this issue are authentication bypasses, password reset issues, Server-Side-Request-Forgery (SSRF), and many more. It is recommended to validate the URL before passing it to a request library, or using application logic such as authentication or password resets.
    Likelihood: LOW
    Confidence: LOW
    CWE:
    - CWE-20: Improper Input Validation
