Snyk Code now offers beta support for Python 2.x and 3.x projects. You do not have to install or update anything since we added the support to the backend engine and it is available instantly to be used. When a repository is scanned, you will see Python beta results showing up. If you cannot wait for a scheduled rescan, you can manually trigger a scan.

It can sometimes be a little challenging to figure out specifically how to address different vulnerability classes in Python. This article addresses one of the top finding categories found in Python, CWE 117 (also known as CRLF Injection), and shows how to use a custom log formatter to address the issue. We’ll use this project, which deactivates or deletes user accounts from the Veracode platform, to illustrate the functionality.

Are you taking data from an API in the format the web services gives it to you? You should not dictate the structure of data inside your application based on how an API provider structures their data.

Webhooks run a large portion of the "magic" that happens between applications. They are sometimes called reverse APIs, callbacks, and even notifications.

In a previous article, we looked at how to consume webhooks with Node.js and Express.
