📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code contains a hardcoded API key, which is a sensitive piece of information that should not be exposed in the source code. Hardcoding secrets can lead to unauthorized access if the code is shared or leaked.
🔸 Recommended Fix
Store the API key in an environment variable or a secure configuration file that is not included in the source code repository. Access the key programmatically at runtime.
🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that the environment variable FIREBASE_API_KEY is set in the deployment environment. This can be done by configuring the environment variables in the hosting service or using a .env file locally during development. Additionally, consider using a library like dotenv to load environment variables from a .env file in a local development setup.
🛠 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.
