Security Fixes Suggested via Pull Request – Powered by Autofic 🛠️ Hello, My name is Jeongmin Oh, a software engineer from South Korea 🇰🇷 working on AI-powered security solutions. We recently developed a tool called Autofic, which scans public code repositories for potential vulnerabilities using SAST tools and provides automated remediation using an LLM-based model. 🔐 During a recent analysis of your repository, our system flagged some areas that may pose security risks. To assist, we’ve submitted a Pull Request with proposed patches generated by Autofic. Please feel free to take a look when convenient. If you have any questions or would like to understand more about how Autofic works, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your attention and for maintaining such valuable open-source work.

code/lib/plugins/freeAccount/index.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code contains hard-coded credentials and insecure session settings. Specifically, the session secret is hard-coded, and several session cookie attributes are not properly configured, which can lead to security vulnerabilities.
🔸 Recommended Fix
Use environment variables to store sensitive information like session secrets. Configure session cookies with secure attributes such as
secure,domain,expires, andpath. Also, change the default session cookie name to something less predictable.🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that the environment variable
SESSION_SECRETis set in the deployment environment. Adjust thedomainattribute to match your application's domain. Thesecureattribute is set totrueto ensure cookies are only sent over HTTPS; this should be adjusted based on your deployment environment.2.
code/lib/plugins/webgui/index.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The session middleware settings are insecure due to missing attributes such as
domain,expires,path, andsecure. Additionally, the default session cookie name is being used, which can expose the application to attacks.🔸 Recommended Fix
Set the
domain,expires,path, andsecureattributes for the session cookies. Change the default session cookie name to a custom name to reduce the risk of fingerprinting.🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that
yourdomain.comis replaced with the actual domain of your application. Thesecureattribute is set totrue, which means cookies will only be sent over HTTPS. If your application does not use HTTPS, consider setting up HTTPS to enhance security.3.

domain,expires,path, andsecure.🔸 Additional Notes
SESSION_SECRETis securely set in the deployment environment.domainandpathattributes should be set according to the specific requirements of the application and deployment environment.secureattribute should be set totrueto ensure cookies are only sent over HTTPS, which requires the application to be served over HTTPS.4.
code/plugins/webgui/index.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The session middleware settings have several issues: the
domain,expires, andpathattributes are not set, thesecureattribute is set tofalse, and the default session cookie name is used. These settings can lead to insufficient protection of session cookies.🔸 Recommended Fix
Set the
domain,expires, andpathattributes for the session cookie. Ensure thesecureattribute is set totrueto enforce HTTPS, and use a custom session cookie name to prevent fingerprinting.🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that
domainis set to the correct domain for your application. Thesecureattribute should only be set totrueif your application is served over HTTPS. Adjust theexpiresandmaxAgevalues according to your session management policy.🛠 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.
