---

## 5. Recommendations

### Critical (Fix Immediately)
1. **Replace MD5 with SHA-256** in:
   - `nodupe/tools/commands/__init__.py`
   - `nodupe/tools/video/__init__.py` (lines 179, 282)
   
2. **Add tarfile validation** in:
   - `nodupe/tools/compression_standard/engine_logic.py` to prevent zip slip attacks

### High Priority
3. **Replace string-based SQL queries** with parameterized queries in:
   - `nodupe/tools/databases/files.py`
   - `nodupe/tools/databases/repository_interface.py`
   - `nodupe/tools/databases/wrapper.py`

4. **Replace pickle** with safer alternatives:
   - `nodupe/tools/databases/embeddings.py`

### Medium Priority
5. **Use secure temp file creation** (`mkstemp` instead of `mkdtemp`)
6. **Review try/except/pass patterns** for proper error handling

### Strategic
7. **Pin all dependencies** to specific versions in requirements.txt
8. **Add .gitignore entry** for `SECURITY_AUDIT_REPORT.md`
