Security Notes

The project generally follows good practices for handling external API calls (e.g., uses yaml.safe_load). However, the scholarly tool's use of free proxies to bypass rate limits introduces a potential security risk by routing requests through unvetted third-party infrastructure. Additionally, the default CORSMiddleware configuration uses allow_origins=["*"] in production mode, which is overly permissive and should be restricted for public deployments, as noted in the source code.
