Security Report

3.2

Use Caution3.2High Risk

OpenOSINT is a legitimate OSINT tool with appropriate permissions for its stated purpose, but has several security concerns that users should be aware of. The codebase appropriately uses environment variables for API keys and includes authorization disclaimers, but lacks input validation on tool parameters, has broad exception handling that could mask errors, and streams results to external APIs without explicit user consent warnings. The web server's CORS policy is overly permissive (allow_origins=["*"]), and there are no rate limiting or abuse prevention mechanisms despite tool outputs being accessible via HTTP. The architecture itself is sound, but defensive programming practices are insufficient for a tool intended for security research. Supply chain analysis found 13 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
