Have you tried running this against itself? I found critical security vulnerabilities:
1. Command Injection Risk (CRITICAL)
The web application passes user-controlled input directly to subprocess commands without proper sanitization. An attacker could inject malicious commands through the target_url, wordpress_path, llm_endpoint, or tests parameters. app.py:232-264
2. No Authentication (CRITICAL)
All API endpoints are completely unauthenticated. Anyone can start security scans against arbitrary URLs, potentially using your server to attack others. app.py:481-516
3. Server-Side Request Forgery (HIGH)
Users can provide any URL as the scan target, allowing attackers to scan internal networks, localhost services, or use your server as a proxy for attacks. app.py:484-493
4. No CSRF Protection (HIGH)
POST endpoints lack CSRF token validation, making them vulnerable to cross-site request forgery attacks. app.py:481-482 app.py:567-568
5. No Rate Limiting (MEDIUM)
Endpoints lack rate limiting, allowing abuse and denial-of-service attacks.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the code and pointing these out! I really appreciate it.
To clarify: SiteIQ is designed to run locally on your own machine (localhost:5000) as a personal security testing tool - similar to how you'd run Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP locally. It's not meant to be deployed as a public-facing web service.
That said, your points are absolutely valid and I'll definitely work on fixing these. This is my first open source project, so feedback like this helps me learn a lot. Thanks again!
