+==============================================
+Insecure Temporary File in the Tempfile Module
+==============================================
+
+The tempfile.mktemp function in Python is a legacy method for creating
+temporary files with a unique name. It is important to note that this function
+is susceptible to race conditions, which can occur when multiple processes or
+threads attempt to create temporary files concurrently. These race conditions
+may lead to unintended behavior, data corruption, or security vulnerabilities
+in your code.
+
+-------
+Example
+-------
+
+.. code-block:: python
+   :linenos:
+   :emphasize-lines: 4
+
+    import tempfile
+
+
+    filename = tempfile.mktemp(suffix='', prefix='tmp', dir=None)
+    with open(filename) as f:
+        f.write(b"Hello World!\n")
+
+-----------
+Remediation
+-----------
+
+To ensure the reliability and security of your temporary file management,
+consider using NamedTemporaryFile. The tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile class
+automatically handles the generation of unique filenames, proper file closure,
+and cleanup when the file is no longer needed.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+   :linenos:
+   :emphasize-lines: 4
+
+    import tempfile
+
+
+    with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False) as f:
+        f.write(b"Hello World!\n")

+.. seealso::
