Scan summary Repository scanned at 67.6/100 with 88.9% coverage. It contains 1513 nodes across 14 cross-layer flows, written primarily in mixed languages. Engine surfaced 71 findings — concentrated in software (25), quality (25), api (14). Risk profile is high: 0 critical, 3 high, 3 medium. Recommended next step: open the software layer findings first — that's where the highest-impact wins live.

high 9-layer security auth conf 1.00 Flask mutation route `<anonymous>` without `@login_required` — src/flask/sansio/app.py:626
Flask route declares POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH methods without an auth decorator. Add `@login_required` (Flask-Login) or equivalent.
src/flask/sansio/app.py:626 authowaspauth.flask.unauth_route
high 9-layer security owasp conf 1.00 Insecure pattern 'eval_used' in src/flask/cli.py:1023
Found a known-risky pattern (eval_used). Review and replace if possible.
src/flask/cli.py:1023 owaspeval_used
high 9-layer security owasp conf 1.00 Insecure pattern 'exec_used' in src/flask/config.py:209
Found a known-risky pattern (exec_used). Review and replace if possible.
src/flask/config.py:209 owaspexec_used
medium 9-layer security auth conf 1.00 Django CBV `MethodView` lacks `LoginRequiredMixin` — src/flask/views.py:138
Class-based view defines mutating methods (post/put/delete) without inheriting `LoginRequiredMixin`. If auth is enforced via `dispatch()` override or middleware, dismiss this finding.
src/flask/views.py:138 authauth.django.unauth_view
medium 9-layer cicd supply-chain conf 1.00 GitHub Actions workflow grants broad write permissions
CI tokens with write permissions increase blast radius when an action, dependency, or PR workflow is compromised. Prefer job-level least-privilege permissions.
.github/workflows/publish.yaml supply-chaingithub-actionsleast-privilege
medium 9-layer security coverage conf 1.00 No auth library detected
The scanner did not find any standard auth library (JWT, OAuth, NextAuth, Auth0, etc.). Either auth lives in custom code, in a separate service, or is missing.
