This codemod hardens all readline() calls from file objects returned from an open() call, StringIO and BytesIO against denial of service attacks. A stream influenced by an attacker could keep providing bytes until the system runs out of memory, causing a crash.

Fixing it is straightforward by providing adding a size argument to any readline() calls.
The changes from this codemod look like this:

  file = open('some_file.txt')
- file.readline()
+ file.readline(5_000_000)
