📋 Review Summary

This pull request introduces two new Python files, both of which contain critical security vulnerabilities. The flask.py file has a path traversal vulnerability, and the secure_code.py file has a command injection vulnerability. Both of these issues could allow an attacker to compromise the system.

🔍 General Feedback

  • It is crucial to always sanitize and validate user-provided input before using it in file paths or system commands.
  • Avoid using shell=True with subprocess.run whenever possible, especially when the command includes user input.
