About half of Python libraries in PyPI may have security issues, boffins say
Anyone who's run Bandit against a significant codebase knows that it churns out a lot of false positives. You can't just run it against a codebase, notice that it finds things, and declare the code insecure. I note that the article does not mention any bug bounties won, or CVEs raised off the back of this. This suggests they have done little to demonstrate that these issues are genuine and exploitable. For a bit of comparison, I ran Bandit against the Flask codebase (a well-known web framework, and one that, being network facing, is security critical). It found 9 issues. There were 7 grumbling about use of assert (which is a non-issue in typical Flask deployments, and in many cases is only used to give a more informative error message than would be produced otherwise), and one each complaining about the use of eval and exec to process config files (that are not attacker controllable). If Flask were using Bandit as part of their internal process, this would have lead to adding 9 new # nosec comments to tell Bandit to ignore these "issues" and no new CVEs being raised.

July 29, 2021Has anyone have practical experience working with Multi arm bandit and Contextual Bandit problems . What libraries to use and some good resources that helped you in your projects . I came across Vowpal Wabbit library and methods like Thompson sampling, Epsilon greedy, but I feel I am lost .
We use a variation of a Bayesian bandit as part of our trading platform. It’s fantastic as we have the classic problem of not knowing the outcome for the arm we do not pull. My experience was that we got a lot more out of getting our loss function and clustering working than by using more intelligent sampling strategies. Likewise the use of floors in the probability distributions allow for some lovely features form a business perceptive. At the time, we just rolled our own code in numpy. So much of what we were doing was non standard it was the best bet. More on reddit.com
