Summary of What Needs to be Done
Fix games/Word-Building/data.py. The current implementation has three issues:
- Uses
pickle.load() and pickle.dump() instead of JSON, which is a security risk (pickle can execute arbitrary code on deserialization)
- Does not use context managers (
with statements), so files may not be properly closed if an exception occurs
- Module-level code at lines 19-21 executes
pickle.load() at import time, which is a side effect that can crash imports if the file is corrupted
Changes that Need to be Made
Replace all pickle operations with json, use with statements for file operations, and wrap the module-level file reading in a try/except block or guard it with if __name__ == "__main__":.
Impact that it would Provide
Improved security (no pickle deserialization vulnerabilities), proper resource cleanup, and safe module imports even if the data file is corrupted.
