⚠️ Codacy found a medium Security issue: Go's net/http serve functions may be vulnerable to resource consumption attacks if timeouts are not properly configured prior to starting the HTTP server.

The issue identified by the Semgrep linter pertains to the potential for resource consumption attacks when the HTTP server does not have appropriate timeouts configured. Without timeouts, the server may be vulnerable to slow client attacks, where an attacker keeps the connection open for an extended period, consuming server resources and potentially leading to denial-of-service conditions.

To mitigate this risk, it is important to set timeouts for the server. The http.Server struct provides several timeout fields that can be configured, such as ReadTimeout, WriteTimeout, and IdleTimeout.

Here’s a code suggestion that adds a ReadTimeout and WriteTimeout to the server configuration:

Suggested change
httpServer := &http.Server{
httpServer := &http.Server{Addr: "127.0.0.1:8443", TLSConfig: tlsConfig, ReadTimeout: 10 * time.Second, WriteTimeout: 10 * time.Second}

This change sets the read and write timeouts to 10 seconds, which helps to prevent resource exhaustion by ensuring that connections do not hang indefinitely.

⚠️ Codacy found a medium Error Prone issue: Detected conversion of the result of a strconv.Atoi command to an int16. This could lead to an integer overflow, which could possibly result in unexpected behavior and even privilege escalation.

The issue identified by the Semgrep linter relates to the conversion of the result from strconv.Atoi directly to an int16. The value "32768" exceeds the maximum allowable value for int16, which is 32767. This can lead to an integer overflow when the conversion is attempted, resulting in unexpected behavior or vulnerabilities.

To fix this issue, we should ensure that the value being converted is within the valid range for int16 before performing the conversion. Here's the single line change to implement this check:

Suggested change
bigValue, err := strconv.Atoi("32768")
if bigValue < math.MinInt16 || bigValue > math.MaxInt16 { log.Fatal("value out of int16 range") }

if bigValue > math.MaxInt16 {
log.Fatal("value too large to fit in int16")
}
value := int16(bigValue)

⚠️ Codacy found a medium Security issue: Golang's int type size depends on the architecture of where the application is running.

The issue identified by the Semgrep linter is that the int type in Go can vary in size depending on the architecture (32-bit vs 64-bit). When converting bigValue (which is of type int) to int16, there's a risk of an overflow if bigValue exceeds the limits of int16 (which is from -32768 to 32767). This could lead to unexpected behavior or security vulnerabilities if the application relies on the correctness of this conversion.

To fix the issue, we can replace the usage of int16 with a more explicit type that ensures we are aware of the potential for overflow. A safer approach would be to use a constant or variable that is explicitly defined to be of type int16 after the overflow check.

Here's the suggested code change:

	value := int16(bigValue) // This line should be changed to:
	value := int16(bigValue) // This line should be changed to:
	if bigValue < math.MinInt16 || bigValue > math.MaxInt16 {
		log.Fatal("value out of range for int16")
	}

This change ensures that we perform a range check before converting bigValue to int16, preventing any potential overflow issues.
