not really. I built some apps on web2py that are live and in production, and since EVERY app in my environment NEEDS to pass a Qualys scan to be live and production ready, I know that MY apps survive a Qualys scan with flying colors. Point being "ATM web2py does not expose any obvious/hidden threat that Qualys identifies". I'll reinstate the obvious though: this "just" means that if you code responsibly, your app is safe. It's not too little of a "just". But it's a "just" nonetheless. Noone is saying that EVERY app you code will pass a white-hat attempt if it's hosted on web2py, and I don't think that any framework in any language will ever have the guts to assure it.
