fastapi - 💡(How to fix) Fix 🚨 Security Vulnerability Detected: tests/test_tutorial/test_security/test_tutorial004.py [1 participants]

TL;DR

Remove hardcoded secrets from the code, such as the password 'secret' in the get_access_token and test_login functions, to improve security.

Guidance

• Identify all instances of hardcoded secrets in the codebase, including the mentioned get_access_token and test_login functions.
• Replace hardcoded secrets with secure alternatives, such as environment variables or a secrets management system.
• Review the code for any other potential security vulnerabilities related to secret storage and handling.
• Wait for the upcoming patch and PR to be linked for a more comprehensive solution.

Notes

The issue highlights a specific security concern, but a full review of the codebase is necessary to ensure all hardcoded secrets are removed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by removing hardcoded secrets and replacing them with secure alternatives, as this is a critical security issue that should be addressed promptly, even before the patch and PR are available.
