Python 3.12.1 : Bandit tool for security issues in Python code.

Bandit is a tool designed to find common security issues in Python code. To do this Bandit processes each file, builds an AST from it, and runs appropriate plugins against the AST nodes. Once Bandit has finished scanning all the files it generates a report.
Bandit was originally developed within the OpenStack Security Project and later rehomed to PyCQA
Installation is simple with the pip tool:.
pip install bandit
