Flask app built with GitHub Copilot? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for Flask apps built with GitHub Copilot. We find GitHub Copilot-specific bugs, fix Flask security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
GitHub Copilot issues we find in Flask projects
Problems specific to GitHub Copilot's code generation patterns when building Flask apps.
Insecure code patterns from training data
Copilot sometimes suggests patterns from its training data that are known to be insecure — like using eval(), innerHTML, or outdated crypto functions.
Hardcoded secrets in suggestions
Copilot occasionally suggests placeholder API keys or credentials that look real and get committed to version control.
Inconsistent code style across files
Different completions use different patterns — sometimes callbacks, sometimes async/await, sometimes .then(). The codebase becomes inconsistent over time.
Subtly incorrect logic
Copilot completions often look correct but contain off-by-one errors, wrong comparison operators, or missed edge cases that cause intermittent bugs.
Flask issues we check for
Common Flask problems that affect production readiness.
Debug mode in production
Flask's built-in debugger left enabled in production, exposing an interactive console that allows remote code execution on the server.
Hardcoded secret key
SECRET_KEY set to a default or short string like 'secret' instead of a cryptographically random value loaded from environment variables.
No CSRF protection
Forms and state-changing endpoints without Flask-WTF CSRF tokens, enabling cross-site request forgery attacks.
Running with flask run in production
Using Flask's development server in production instead of gunicorn or uWSGI, which is single-threaded and not designed for real traffic.
