Example Prompts and Responses
1. Code Analysis
Review this Python function for potential improvements and security issues:
def process_user_data(data):
for item in data:
result = eval(item)
print(result)Several critical issues:
- Using eval() is dangerous - vulnerable to code injection
- No input validation
- No error handling
Improved version:
def process_user_data(data):
try:
for item in data:
if not isinstance(item, (int, float, str)):
raise ValueError("Invalid data type")
result = float(item) if str(item).replace('.','').isdigit() else None
if result is not None:
print(result)
except Exception as e:
