Objective: Identify potential security vulnerabilities within the provided codebase.
Instructions:
- Analyze the attached code with a focus on identifying common security weaknesses such as:
- SQL injection.
- Cross-site scripting (XSS).
- Cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
- Authentication and authorization bypasses.
- Data exposure.
- For each identified vulnerability, provide a detailed explanation of:
- The nature of the vulnerability.
- The potential impact of exploitation.
- Recommendations for mitigation using secure coding practices.
- Prioritize vulnerabilities based on their severity and potential impact.
Expected Output: A comprehensive security report highlighting potential vulnerabilities within the codebase, along with clear explanations of their risks and actionable recommendations for remediation.
