Thanks for sharing those results Ben. A number of the issues raised there
are also a matter of best practices not being followed (like using
non-typed try/except/pass blocks, or calling os.system) so it's good to see
them flagged. Also, though it would be really nice to get away from raw SQL
and rely more on the ORM, looking through those results I think that the
SQL may be the trickiest to remedy. At any rate, a very good roadmap for an
initial security update.
