## src/auth/login.js

### Critical Issues (1)

#### 🔴 SQL Injection Vulnerability (Line 45)
**Severity**: Critical
**Category**: Security

```javascript
const query = `SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = '${email}'`;

Issue: Raw string concatenation in SQL query allows SQL injection

Recommendation:

const query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?';
const result = await db.query(query, [email]);

Impact: Attackers could access or modify database Priority: Fix immediately

Major Issues (2)

🟠 Missing Error Handling (Line 67)

Severity: Major Category: Error Handling

const user = await fetchUser(userId);
return user.profile.name; // No null check

Issue: No handling for case where user or profile is null/undefined

Recommendation:

const user = await fetchUser(userId);
if (!user?.profile?.name) {
  throw new Error('User profile not found');
}
return user.profile.name;

🟠 Hardcoded Credentials (Line 12)

Severity: Major Category: Security

const API_KEY = 'sk_live_abc123xyz';

Issue: Sensitive credentials in source code

Recommendation: Move to environment variables

const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY;

---

Minor Issues (3)

🟡 Inconsistent Naming (Line 89)

Category: Code Style

const user_id = req.params.userId; // Mixed naming conventions

Recommendation: Use consistent camelCase

const userId = req.params.userId;

🟡 Missing JSDoc (Line 23)

Category: Documentation

function validateEmail(email) {
  // Complex validation logic
}

Recommendation: Add documentation

/**
 * Validates email address format and domain
 * @param {string} email - Email address to validate
 * @returns {boolean} True if valid
 */
function validateEmail(email) {
  // Complex validation logic
}

🟡 Magic Number (Line 56)

Category: Code Quality

if (attempts > 5) {
  lockAccount();
}

Recommendation: Use named constant

const MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS = 5;
if (attempts > MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS) {
  lockAccount();
}

---

src/services/UserService.js

Major Issues (2)

🟠 No Input Validation (Line 34)

async createUser(userData) {
  return await db.users.create(userData); // No validation
}

Recommendation: Validate input before database operation

async createUser(userData) {
  const schema = z.object({
    email: z.string().email(),
    name: z.string().min(1),
    age: z.number().min(0).optional()
  });
