Fix code scanning alert no. 4: Clear-text logging of sensitive information

[khulnasoft-bot]

User description

Fixes https://github.com/khulnasoft/ThreatMatrix/security/code-scanning/4

To fix the problem, we should avoid logging sensitive data directly. Instead, we can log a generic message indicating that sensitive data was pruned without including the actual data. This approach maintains the functionality of logging the event without exposing sensitive information.

• Modify the log statement in the _validate_result method to exclude the sensitive result data.
• Ensure the log message still provides useful information for debugging without exposing sensitive data.

Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.

PR Code Suggestions ✨

Explore these optional code suggestions:

Category	Suggestion	Score
Enhancement	Enhance log message with more specific information about the pruned data type Consider using a more specific log message that includes the type of data being pruned, without revealing sensitive information. This can help with debugging and understanding the system's behavior. api_app/analyzers_manager/classes.py [79-82] logger.info( - f"We have reached max_recursion {max_recursion} level. " - "Sensitive data has been pruned." + f"Max recursion level ({max_recursion}) reached. " + f"Pruning {type(result).__name__} object to prevent nested object exception." ) Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: The suggestion improves the log message by providing more specific information about the type of data being pruned, which can aid in debugging and understanding the system's behavior without exposing sensitive information.	8
Best practice	Use a constant for the maximum recursion level instead of a hardcoded value Consider using a constant for the maximum recursion level instead of hardcoding the value. This would improve maintainability and make it easier to adjust the limit if needed in the future. api_app/analyzers_manager/classes.py [75] -def _validate_result(self, result, level=0, max_recursion=190): +MAX_RECURSION_LEVEL = 190 +def _validate_result(self, result, level=0, max_recursion=MAX_RECURSION_LEVEL): + Apply this suggestion Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7 Why: Using a constant for the maximum recursion level enhances maintainability and flexibility, making it easier to adjust the limit in the future if needed. This is a good practice for improving code readability and maintainability.	7
