Patch for app.py

[beetle-ai]

The CORS configuration is updated to use a list of allowed origins based on the environment. In production, the allowed origins are restricted to the production domain.Changes made:

• Replaced: app.add_middleware( CORSMiddleware, allow_origins=[ "chrome-extension://mnndnbaglhlkhbdpbfifhojlcmjc...
• With: import os origins = [ "http://localhost:3000", # For local development ] if os.environ.get("ENVIRON...

⚠️ Potential Security Risk: Missing Default for ENVIRONMENT Variable

File: app.py
Lines: 55-59
Severity: Medium

Problem

The code relies on the ENVIRONMENT environment variable to determine the allowed origins for CORS. If this variable is not set, the origins list will remain empty, effectively disabling CORS. This could lead to unexpected behavior or security vulnerabilities in a production environment if requests are blocked due to missing CORS configuration.

Current Code

import os
origins = [
"http://localhost:3000",  # For local development
]
if os.environ.get("ENVIRONMENT") == "production":
origins = [
"https://your-production-domain.com",  # Replace with your production domain
]

Suggested Fix

Add a default value or a fallback mechanism if the ENVIRONMENT variable is not set. This ensures that CORS is always configured with at least a basic set of allowed origins.

import os
origins = [
"http://localhost:3000",  # For local development
]
environment = os.environ.get("ENVIRONMENT", "development") # Default to development if not set
if environment == "production":
origins = [
"https://your-production-domain.com",  # Replace with your production domain
]

Why This Fix Works

• It provides a default value ("development") for the ENVIRONMENT variable if it's not explicitly set.
• This ensures that the origins list is always populated, preventing potential CORS issues.
• It maintains the existing logic for production environments when the ENVIRONMENT variable is set to "production".

Additional Context

Consider using a more robust configuration management system for handling environment-specific settings, especially in larger applications. This could involve using a dedicated library for managing environment variables and providing validation.
