Vulnerability Details

  • File Path: sample-vuln/app.py
  • Vulnerability Type: SQL Injection
  • Risk Level: Critical

Explanation:
Primary: SQL Injection (CWE-89) — The get_user_by_name function constructs an SQL statement by interpolating the raw username into the query string using an f-string. This allows an attacker-controlled username to alter the SQL statement, enabling SQL injection. The cursor.execute call accepts the crafted SQL and executes it against the database without any parameterization or sanitization.

Also found: Hard-coded Secret (CWE-798) — A secret API_KEY value is hard-coded in source. Storing credentials or secrets in source code risks accidental disclosure (e.g., via version control, code leak) and makes rotation and environment-specific configuration difficult. An attacker discovering this key could authenticate to services or escalate privileges if that key is accepted by other systems.

Please review and address the issue accordingly.
