Medium-editor Code Review

ISGroup SRL performed an automated Code Review (not a real Static Analysis, more a grep-on-steroid) of this NodeJS project in order to identify potential security vulnerabilities. We do not guarantee that all the findings are valid, and for sure there are plenty of false-positives and false-negatives (undetected issues) but it's free and your project could benefit from this security analisys. The following data is also available in JSON format!
