Develop vulnerable node.js app for demo #3

Hey @suitedaces 🚀📚,

I've done some investigations into the issue you've created regarding developing a vulnerable Node.js app for demo purposes. Here's a brief summary based on the exploration within the codebase and some web search results:

Insights on the Issue: The dvna codebase already includes references to Node.js, Express.js, and various other packages such as ‘passport’ for authentication and ‘body-parser’. The application is set up with Express and includes views for different common vulnerabilities, indicating that this project is structured toward demonstrating security flaws within a web application context.

Related Code - Initiation of Express.js and session management in `server.js`: ```javascript var express = require('express') var session = require('express-session') var app = express() app.use(session({ secret: 'keyboard cat', resave: true, saveUninitialized: true, cookie: { secure: false } })) ``` - Passport.js initialization for authentication in `server.js`: ```javascript var passport = require('passport') app.use(passport.initialize()) app.use(passport.session()) ```

These resources could serve as excellent foundations for further developing the demo app, with a strong focus on incorporating and demonstrating various vulnerabilities. Additionally, examining how to plug these vulnerabilities, as suggested by the resources from Snyk, can further enrich the demonstration, providing a hands-on experience with both the creation and mitigation of common web application vulnerabilities.
