Finding Common Python Vulnerabilities

In this module, you will learn how to identify common Python vulnerabilities using Static Application Security Testing (SAST).

The following subsections are covered:

• Frequently found weaknesses

  • Injection attacks

  • Insecure deserialisation

  • Path traversal

• Insecure AI coding patterns

By the end of this section, you will be able to recognise common security weaknesses in Python applications and assess their potential impact with greater confidence.
