critical Security checks quality Quality conf 1.00 ✓ Repobility [MINED030] Python Pickle Loads: pickle.loads() can execute arbitrary code via __reduce__.
Review and fix per the pattern semantics. See CWE-502 / for context.
tg/request_local.py:122
critical Security checks quality Quality conf 1.00 [SEC081] Python: pickle.loads / marshal.loads on untrusted data: pickle.load(s) and marshal.load(s) execute arbitrary code on untrusted input. Ported from dlint DUO103 / DUO120 (BSD-3).
Use json, msgpack, or protobuf for untrusted data. If pickle is required, sign the payload with HMAC.

high Security checks quality Quality conf 1.00 ✓ Repobility Missing import: `mimetypes` used but not imported
The file uses `mimetypes.something(...)` but never imports `mimetypes`. This raises NameError at runtime the first time the line executes.
tg/controllers/dispatcher.py:77
high Security checks quality Quality conf 1.00 ✓ Repobility 25 occurrences `self.default_status` used but never assigned in __init__
Method `configure` of class `TGFlash` reads `self.default_status`, but no assignment to it exists in __init__ (and no class-level fallback). This raises AttributeError the first time the method runs against an instance.

low Security checks quality Error handling conf 0.55 ✓ Repobility 7 occurrences Broad exception handler needs review
This handler catches Exception/BaseException. It is actionable when it swallows errors without logging, re-raising, or returning a structured error. Handlers that intentionally convert exceptions into typed error results should not be treated as high risk.
