📝 LLM Analysis

🔸 Vulnerability Description

The code sets the rejectUnauthorized option to false when establishing a connection using io.connect. This bypasses the verification of the server's SSL certificate, making the connection vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.

🔸 Recommended Fix

Enable SSL certificate verification by setting rejectUnauthorized to true. Ensure that the server's SSL certificate is valid and trusted.

🔸 Additional Notes

Ensure that the server's SSL certificate is correctly configured and trusted by the client to avoid connection issues after enabling certificate verification.

🛠 Fix Summary

All identified vulnerabilities have been remediated following security best practices such as parameterized queries and proper input validation. Please refer to the diff tab for detailed code changes.
