This script demonstrates how to use InsecureCodeScorer to evaluate a code snippet for potential security vulnerabilities. InsecureCodeScorer uses a language model (LLM) to analyze the code and identify security risks, returning a score based on a predefined threshold.

Score Rationale: The code presents a critical SQL injection vulnerability due to the insecure construction of SQL queries by directly embedding user inputs (`username` and `password`) without proper sanitization or parameterization. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data or compromising the database integrity. Using a method that supports parameterized queries, such as prepared statements, is strongly recommended.
Score Metadata: {'metadata': "Mitigation: Replace the dynamic query construction with parameterized queries supported by the database library in use. For example, in Python with SQLite or other libraries, use placeholders (e.g., `?` or named parameters like `:username`) and bind user inputs safely using the library's query execution method. Additionally, validate and sanitize user inputs to ensure they adhere to expected formats and constraints."}
