This application is designed for local network use only. It has no authentication and should not be exposed to the internet.

• ✅ Runs on local network IP (not exposed to internet)
• ✅ Temporary files are automatically cleaned up
• ✅ Input validation for YouTube URLs
• ✅ No persistent data storage

• ⚠️ No authentication - Anyone on your local network can use the server
• ⚠️ CORS allows all origins - Configured for local development
• ⚠️ No rate limiting - Could be abused by local network users
• ⚠️ No input sanitization beyond URL validation - Relies on yt-dlp for safety

• Keep the server on your local network only
• Don't expose port 2847 to the internet
• Be aware that anyone on your WiFi/network can access it

1. Add Authentication:

   # Add API key or basic auth

2. Restrict CORS:

   allow_origins=["https://yourdomain.com"]  # Instead of "*"

3. Add Rate Limiting:

   from slowapi import Limiter
   limiter = Limiter(key_func=get_remote_address)

4. Use HTTPS:

   • Set up SSL/TLS certificates
   • Use a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy)

5. Add Input Validation:

   • Validate URL format more strictly
   • Sanitize all inputs
   • Add request size limits

• ✅ Only run the server when needed
• ✅ Don't leave it running 24/7 unless necessary
• ✅ Use a firewall to restrict access if needed
• ✅ Monitor server logs for suspicious activity
• ✅ Keep dependencies updated: pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
