🔐 Summary of Security Fixes
Overview
server.js1.
server.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code contains a hardcoded secret used for session management, which is a security risk as it can be easily extracted and exploited. Additionally, the Express app exposes the "X-Powered-By" header, which reveals information about the server framework, potentially aiding attackers.
🔸 Recommended Fix
Use environment variables to store secrets securely and remove the "X-Powered-By" header by using the Helmet middleware.
🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that the
SESSION_SECRETenvironment variable is set in the deployment environment to maintain security. The use of Helmet middleware will automatically disable the "X-Powered-By" header, among other security enhancements.🛠 Fix Summary
All identified vulnerabilities have been remediated following security best practices such as parameterized queries and proper input validation. Please refer to the diff tab for detailed code changes.
