🔒 Security concerns
Sensitive information exposure: The docker-compose.yml file contains hardcoded database credentials (DB_PASSWORD and POSTGRES_PASSWORD set to 'secret') in lines 17 and 25. These credentials should be externalized using environment variables, Docker secrets, or .env files to prevent exposing sensitive information in version control.
The configuration exposes database credentials as plaintext environment variables. Consider using Docker secrets or environment files for sensitive information.
The PR uses Node.js 14 which is end-of-life and no longer receives security updates. Consider upgrading to a more recent LTS version like Node 18 or 20 for better security and performance. (Ref 1, Ref 4, Ref 5)
image: node:14
Reference reasoning: The organization's other configuration files show attention to detail in versioning and maintenance. Similar configuration files in the repository follow best practices for using current, supported versions of dependencies.
PostgreSQL 9.5 reached end-of-life in February 2021. Using this outdated version may expose the application to security vulnerabilities and missing features. (Ref 1, Ref 4, Ref 5)
image: postgres:9.5
Reference reasoning: The organization's configuration files demonstrate a pattern of using current technologies and maintaining up-to-date dependencies. Other configuration files in the repository follow modern best practices for infrastructure components.
Consider upgrading the PostgreSQL image from version 9.5 to a more recent version. PostgreSQL 9.5 reached end-of-life in February 2021 and no longer receives security updates or bug fixes.
Why: Using PostgreSQL 9.5, which reached end-of-life in February 2021, poses significant security risks as it no longer receives security updates. Upgrading to a supported version like PostgreSQL 15 is critical for maintaining security and accessing performance improvements.
High
Secure sensitive credentials
Avoid hardcoding sensitive credentials like database passwords directly in the docker-compose file. Consider using environment variables or Docker secrets for production environments.
Why: Hardcoded database credentials in the docker-compose file present a security vulnerability. Using environment variables with fallback values (${DB_PASSWORD:-secret}) significantly improves security by allowing credentials to be managed outside the codebase while maintaining development convenience.
Medium
Learned best practice
Maintain consistent formatting for environment variables across all services in configuration files
The environment variables in the app service use a different format (hyphen list with KEY=value) compared to the db service (key-value pairs). For consistency, use the same format for environment variables across all services in the docker-compose file.
Consider upgrading from PostgreSQL 9.5 to a more recent version. PostgreSQL 9.5 reached end-of-life in February 2021 and no longer receives security updates or bug fixes.
Why: Using PostgreSQL 9.5, which reached end-of-life in February 2021, poses significant security risks as it no longer receives security updates or bug fixes. Upgrading to a supported version like PostgreSQL 15 is critical for security and stability.
High
Secure sensitive credentials
Avoid hardcoding sensitive credentials like database passwords directly in the docker-compose file. Consider using environment variables or Docker secrets for production environments.
Why: Hardcoding database credentials in the docker-compose file is a security risk. Using environment variables allows for better security practices by keeping sensitive information out of version control and enabling different configurations for different environments.
Medium
Learned best practice
Maintain consistent formatting for environment variables across all services in configuration files
The environment variables in the app service use a different format (hyphen list with equals signs) compared to the db service (key-value pairs). For consistency, use the same format for environment variables across all services in the docker-compose file.
Update the PostgreSQL image to a newer version as 9.5 is end-of-life and no longer receives security updates. Consider using at least version 12 or newer for better security and performance.
Why: PostgreSQL 9.5 is significantly outdated and no longer receives security updates, making it a security vulnerability. Upgrading to version 15 provides critical security patches and performance improvements.
High
Update Node.js version
Node.js 14 has reached end-of-life status. Update to a currently supported LTS version (like Node 18 or 20) to ensure security updates and modern features.
Why: Node.js 14 has reached end-of-life status and no longer receives security updates, creating a security vulnerability. Upgrading to Node.js 20 ensures continued security patches and access to modern features.
High
Use environment variables
Avoid hardcoding database credentials directly in the docker-compose file. Use environment variables or a .env file instead to improve security and configuration flexibility.
Why: Hardcoded credentials in the docker-compose file pose a security risk, especially if the file is committed to version control. Using environment variables with fallback values significantly improves security and deployment flexibility.
