Problem

Various network communication protocols allow including plaintext authentication credentials. Information such as user names and passwords could be passed through a non-encrypted channel, and therefore intercepted by malicious actors. Credentials are considered secrets, and should be kept encrypted until they are used. This policy control matches the following URI pattern protocol://username:password@domain within any software package component.

Next steps

Review the reported matches. If the warning refers to a placeholder credential value, it can be safely ignored.

Problem

Private keys and certificates are considered sensitive information that should not be included in released software packages. However, developers frequently release sensitive information alongside their applications to facilitate automated software testing. Testing keys and certificates often proliferate through the software supply chain. When such information gets shared publicly, it is catalogued by file reputation databases. Any private key and certificate files seen by a file reputation database prior to configured time threshold can be automatically suppressed. Commonly shared sensitive information is not considered to be secret.

Next steps

Review the commonly shared sensitive information for evidence of inadvertently exposed secrets.
If the keys were published unintentionally and the software has been made public, you should revoke the keys and file a security incident.

FAQ for SQLAlchemy

What is SQLAlchemy?

Database Abstraction Library. For more information about this package, visit its homepage.

Is SQLAlchemy malicious or is it safe to use?

The Python package SQLAlchemy was scanned for malware, software tampering, risky behaviors, exposed secrets and known vulnerabilities. The package contains risks, and the analysis results should be reviewed before it is downloaded and used. Visit the Issues and Behaviors sections of the analysis for more details.

Is SQLAlchemy popular?

The Python package SQLAlchemy ranks among the top 100 projects in this community. It has 6B recorded downloads. A package's popularity is not a good indicator of its safety, visit the SAFE Assessment section to see the full analysis of package deployment risk categories.

How do I secure SQLAlchemy once it is in my app?

Since we can't know when or where malicious attacks will happen, we recommend tracking how SQLAlchemy behaviors change over multiple software releases. By adopting differential analysis in your release process, you can detect unexpected changes to a SQLAlchemy version, which can prevent advanced software supply chain attacks. Read how our technology can help prevent future attacks similar to SolarWinds and 3CX.

Did you know...

... that you can use ReversingLabs’ Spectra Assure platform to perform regular risk assessments of packages you develop in-house?

We recommend continuous software safeness monitoring through CI/CD integrations and pre-release/deployment checks. In addition to basic package information found on this page our platform offers rich reports for developers and DevSecOps that help them remediate all reported issues.
