+# ShieldCI GitHub App
+
+## Required Environment Variables
+
+```
+GITHUB_APP_ID=<your app id>
+GITHUB_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=<path to .pem file>
+GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=<webhook secret>
+SHIELDCI_API_URL=<backend API URL>
+PORT=3001
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Register a GitHub App at https://github.com/settings/apps/new
+   - **Webhook URL**: `https://your-domain.com/webhook`
+   - **Permissions**: `checks: write`, `pull_requests: write`, `contents: read`
+   - **Events**: `push`, `pull_request`
+2. Download the private key `.pem` file
+3. Set environment variables in `.env`
+4. `npm install && npm start`
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+webhook (push/PR) → Express server → authenticate as GitHub App
+                                    → queue scan job
+                                    → create "in_progress" check run
+                                    → run ShieldCI scan (Docker or local)
+                                    → post results as check run + PR comment

+{
+  "status": "Clean",
+  "vulnerabilities": [],
+  "report_markdown": "The code provided appears to be a Node.js application, and it includes several routes and functions. After reviewing the code, I found some potential security vulnerabilities:\n\n1. **SQL Injection Vulnerability**: In the `app.js` file, there is a SQL injection vulnerability in the `/login` route. The `query` variable is concatenated with user input, which allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. To fix this, you should use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection.\n\n   **Vulnerable Code:**\n   ```javascript\nconst query = \"SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '\" + user + \"'\";\n```\n   **Corrected Code:**\n   ```javascript\nconst query = \"SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?\";\ndb.get(query, [user], (err, row) => {\n    // ...\n});\n```\n2. **Incorrect Configuration**: In the `app.js` file, the `express` application is bound to `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost`. This can lead to unexpected behavior when accessing the application from other devices on the same network. To fix this, you should use the correct IP address or hostname.\n\n   **Vulnerable Code:**\n   ```javascript\napp.listen(3000, '127.0.0.1', () => console.log(\"Target up on 3000\"));\n```\n   **Corrected Code:**\n   ```javascript\napp.listen(3000, 'localhost', () => console.log(\"Target up on 3000\"));\n```\n3. **Insecure Use of `req.query.username`**: In the `app.js` file, the `req.query.username` is used directly without any validation or sanitization. This can lead to security issues if an attacker provides malicious input. To fix this, you should validate and sanitize user input.\n\n   **Vulnerable Code:**\n   ```javascript\nconst user = req.query.username || '';\n```\n   **Corrected Code:**\n   ```javascript\nconst user = req.query.username || '';\nif (!user || !user.trim()) {\n    res.status(400).send('Invalid username');\n    return;\n}\n```\n4. **Incorrect Use of `db.get()`**: In the `app.js` file, the `db.get()` method is used to retrieve a single row from the database. However, the callback function is not properly handled, which can lead to unexpected behavior. To fix this, you should handle the callback function correctly.\n\n   **Vulnerable Code:**\n   ```javascript\ndb.get(query, (err, row) => {\n    // ...\n});\n```\n   **Corrected Code:**\n   ```javascript\ndb.get(query, [user], (err, row) => {\n    if (err) {\n        res.status(500).send('Error retrieving user');\n        return;\n    }\n    if (row) {\n        res.send(`Welcome ${row.username}!`);\n    } else {\n        res.status(401).send(\"Invalid\");\n    }\n});\n```\n5. **Insecure Use of `req.query.username` in other routes**: In the other routes, such as the `ordersCollection.insert()` method, the `req.query.username` is used without any validation or sanitization. This can lead to security issues if an attacker provides malicious input. To fix this, you should validate and sanitize user input.\n\n   **Vulnerable Code:**\n   ```javascript\ndb.ordersCollection.insert({\n    // ...\n    email: (email ? email.replace(/[aeiou]/gi, '*') : undefined),\n    // ...\n});\n```\n   **Corrected Code:**\n   ```javascript\nconst user = req.query.username || '';\nif (!user || !user.trim()) {\n    res.status(400).send('Invalid username');\n    return;\n}\ndb.ordersCollection.insert({\n    // ...\n    email: (user.replace(/[aeiou]/gi, '*')),\n    // ...\n});\n```\nNote that these are just potential security vulnerabilities and may not be the only issues with the code. It is essential to thoroughly review and test the code to ensure it is secure and reliable."

-✅ Saved to SHIELD_REPORT.md
-✅ Saved structured results to shield_results.json
+1. **SQL Injection Vulnerability**:
+
+In the `/login` route, the code uses a vulnerable approach to construct the SQL query:
+```javascript
+const query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '" + user + "'";
+```
+This allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code by manipulating the `user` parameter. To fix this, use a parameterized query or an ORM like Sequelize.
+
+**Corrected Version**:
+```javascript
+const query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?";
+db.get(query, [user], (err, row) => { ... });
+```
+2. **Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)**:
+
+In the `/login` route, the code retrieves user data without proper authorization checks. This allows an attacker to access sensitive user information.
+```javascript
+db.get(query, (err, row) => {
+  if (row) res.send(`Welcome ${row.username}!`);
+  else res.status(401).send("Invalid");
+});
+```
+**Corrected Version**:
+```javascript
+const user = req.query.username || '';
+const query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ? AND role = 'administrator'";
+db.get(query, [user], (err, row) => {
+  if (row && row.role === 'administrator') res.send(`Welcome ${row.username}!`);
+  else res.status(401).send("Invalid");
+});
+```
+3. **Sensitive Data Exposure**:
+
+In the `/login` route, the code exposes sensitive user information (e.g., username) to the client.
+```javascript
+res.send(`Welcome ${row.username}!`);
+```
+**Corrected Version**:
+```javascript
+res.send("Login successful!");
+```
+4. **Insufficient Validation and Sanitization**:
+
+In the `/login` route, the code does not validate or sanitize user input, which can lead to vulnerabilities like SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS).
+```javascript
+const user = req.query.username || '';
+```
+**Corrected Version**:
+```javascript
+const user = req.query.username || '';
+const trimmedUser = user.trim();
+if (trimmedUser.length === 0) {
+  res.status(400).send("Invalid username");
+} else {
+  // ...
+}
+```
+5. **Insecure Error Handling**:
+
+In the `/login` route, the code does not handle errors properly, which can reveal sensitive information to attackers.
+```javascript
+db.get(query, (err, row) => {
+  if (err) console.error(err);
+  // ...
+});
+```
+**Corrected Version**:
+```javascript
+db.get(query, (err, row) => {
+  if (err) {
+    console.error(err);
+    res.status(500).send("Internal Server Error");
+  } else {
+    // ...
+  }
+});
+```
+These are just a few examples of vulnerabilities and areas for improvement in the provided code. It is essential to address these issues to ensure the security and integrity of the application.
