3. Security Assertions & Findings

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Gated routes (such as /api/v1/upload and /api/v1/report) correctly ret HTTP 401 when accessed without authz tokens.
• Upload Boundaries: Capping file sizes at 10MB works correctly; Gunicorn/app validates upload size and returns HTTP 400 or HTTP 413.
• Robust Input Validation: Malformed JSON bodies or unsupported extensions (such as .csv files) are handled gracefully and rejected with HTTP 400.
