Security Fixes Suggested via Pull Request – Powered by Autofic 🛠️ Dear Esteemed Developer, My name is Jeongmin Oh, an undergraduate student majoring in Information Security at Gachon University 🇰🇷. I'm currently participating in a university project focused on enhancing software security using a combination of static analysis (SAST) and large language models (LLMs). As part of this initiative, we developed a tool called Autofic, which analyzes public code repositories to detect security vulnerabilities using SAST tools and then generates suggested fixes with the support of LLMs. 🔐 During a recent analysis of your repository, our system identified a few areas that may pose security risks. To assist in addressing them, we have submitted a Pull Request containing proposed patches automatically generated by Autofic. Since this work is part of an academic research project, your review and potential approval would be immensely valuable to us. 🙏 If you have any questions or would like to learn more about how Autofic works, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your time and for your valuable contribution to the open-source community. Best regards, |

Using Semgrep, CodeQL, and Snyk Code, AutoFiC detected potential security flaws and applied verified fixes.
Each patch includes contextual explanations powered by a large language model to support review and decision-making.
🔐 Summary of Security Fixes
Overview
src/components/card.jssrc/components/pinnedCard.jssrc/components/post.js1.
src/components/card.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code uses
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLto inject HTML content into the component. This can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks if the HTML content is derived from untrusted sources.🔸 Recommended Fix
Use a library like DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML content before injecting it into the component.
🔸 Additional Notes
Ensure that DOMPurify is installed in your project by running
npm install dompurify. This change sanitizes the HTML content to prevent potential XSS attacks while still allowing the use ofdangerouslySetInnerHTML.2.
src/components/pinnedCard.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code uses
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLto directly insert HTML content into the page. This can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks if the HTML content is derived from user input and is not properly sanitized.🔸 Recommended Fix
Use a sanitization library such as DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML content before using it with
dangerouslySetInnerHTML.🔸 Additional Notes
The
DOMPurifylibrary is used to sanitize the HTML content before it is inserted into the page, mitigating the risk of XSS attacks. Ensure thatDOMPurifyis installed and imported correctly in your project.3.
src/components/post.js🧩 SAST Analysis Summary
📝 LLM Analysis
🔸 Vulnerability Description
The code uses
dangerouslySetInnerHTMLto render HTML content, which can lead to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks if the HTML content is not properly sanitized. This is becausedangerouslySetInnerHTMLallows injecting HTML directly into the DOM, which can execute malicious scripts if the content is not trusted.🔸 Recommended Fix
Use a sanitization library such as DOMPurify to sanitize the HTML content before setting it with
dangerouslySetInnerHTML. This ensures that any potentially harmful scripts are removed from the HTML content.🔸 Additional Notes
By using DOMPurify, we ensure that any potentially harmful scripts are removed from the HTML content before it is rendered, thus mitigating the risk of XSS attacks.
🛠 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.
