## 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**:
```javascript
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

```javascript
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**:
```javascript
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

```javascript
const API_KEY = 'sk_live_abc123xyz';
```

**Issue**: Sensitive credentials in source code

**Recommendation**: Move to environment variables
```javascript
const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY;
```

---

### Minor Issues (3)

#### 🟡 Inconsistent Naming (Line 89)
**Category**: Code Style

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

**Recommendation**: Use consistent camelCase
```javascript
const userId = req.params.userId;
```

#### 🟡 Missing JSDoc (Line 23)
**Category**: Documentation

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

**Recommendation**: Add documentation
```javascript
/**
 * 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

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

**Recommendation**: Use named constant
```javascript
const MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS = 5;
if (attempts > MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS) {
  lockAccount();
}
```

---

## src/services/UserService.js

### Major Issues (2)

#### 🟠 No Input Validation (Line 34)
```javascript
async createUser(userData) {
  return await db.users.create(userData); // No validation
}
```

**Recommendation**: Validate input before database operation
```javascript
async createUser(userData) {
  const schema = z.object({
    email: z.string().email(),
    name: z.string().min(1),
    age: z.number().min(0).optional()
  });

  const validated = schema.parse(userData);
  return await db.users.create(validated);
}
```

#### 🟠 Inefficient Database Query (Line 78)
```javascript
async getUserPosts(userId) {
  const user = await db.users.findById(userId);
  const posts = await db.posts.findByAuthor(userId); // N+1 query
  return posts;
}
```

**Recommendation**: Use eager loading
```javascript
async getUserPosts(userId) {
  return await db.users.findById(userId, {
    include: ['posts']
  });
}
```

## Best Practices Violations

### DRY Principle
- **Location**: src/utils/validation.js (Lines 23, 45, 67)
- **Issue**: Email validation logic duplicated 3 times
- **Recommendation**: Extract to shared validation utility

### Error Handling
- **Issue**: Inconsistent error handling across files
- **Recommendation**: Implement centralized error handler

### Testing
- **Issue**: No tests found for authentication logic
- **Recommendation**: Add unit tests for critical auth flows

---

## Positive Observations

✅ Good use of async/await
✅ Clear function names
✅ Proper separation of concerns in most files
✅ Good project structure

---

## Action Items

**Priority 1 (Critical - Fix Now)**:
1. Fix SQL injection in src/auth/login.js:45
2. Remove hardcoded credentials from source

**Priority 2 (Major - Fix Soon)**:
1. Add input validation to all user-facing endpoints
2. Add error handling for null/undefined cases
3. Optimize database queries (4 instances)

**Priority 3 (Minor - Fix When Convenient)**:
1. Standardize naming conventions
2. Add missing documentation
3. Extract magic numbers to constants
4. Add unit tests (current coverage: 45%, target: 80%)

---

## Overall Assessment

**Score**: 6/10

**Strengths**:
- Clean code structure
- Good async patterns
- Clear variable names

**Areas for Improvement**:
- Security practices need immediate attention
- Error handling is inconsistent
- Missing input validation
- Test coverage is low

**Recommendation**: Address critical security issues immediately, then focus on error handling and validation before next release.
