Potential fix for https://github.com/vkondi/github-toolkit/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the problem in general, remove hard‑coded
debug=Truefor Flask apps and instead either omit thedebugargument (defaulting toFalse), or control it via configuration (e.g., environment variable) so that production runs with debugging disabled. The production entrypoint should never force debug mode on.In this specific case, the simplest, non‑disruptive fix is to change
app.run(debug=True)to run without debug explicitly enabled. The safest minimal change is to callapp.run()with nodebugargument, which will default toFalseunless configured elsewhere in the Flask app. This preserves existing functionality for normal serving while removing the explicit debug mode that triggered the CodeQL warning. If the project wants configurable debug behavior, we could optionally wire it to an environment variable likeFLASK_DEBUG, but that is not strictly necessary to resolve the security finding; the minimal and clearest fix is to removedebug=Truehere.Concretely, in
api/index.py, within theif __name__ == "__main__":block, replace line 12app.run(debug=True)withapp.run()and make no other changes. No new imports or methods are needed.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
