0.2.0

Minor Analysis Improvements

  • The query java/log-injection now reports problems at the source (user-controlled data) instead of at the ultimate logging call. This was changed because user functions that wrap the ultimate logging call could result in most alerts being reported in an uninformative location.

0.1.4

0.1.3

New Queries

  • Two new queries "Inefficient regular expression" (java/redos) and "Polynomial regular expression used on uncontrolled data" (java/polynomial-redos) have been added. These queries help find instances of Regular Expression Denial of Service vulnerabilities.

Minor Analysis Improvements

  • Query java/sensitive-log has received several improvements.
    • It no longer considers usernames as sensitive information.
    • The conditions to consider a variable a constant (and therefore exclude it as user-provided sensitive information) have been tightened.
    • A sanitizer has been added to handle certain elements introduced by a Kotlin compiler plugin that have deceptive names.

0.1.2

Query Metadata Changes

  • Query java/predictable-seed now has a tag for CWE-337.

Minor Analysis Improvements

  • Query java/insecure-cookie now tolerates setting a cookie's secure flag to request.isSecure(). This means servlets that intentionally accept unencrypted connections will no longer raise an alert.
  • The query java/non-https-urls has been simplified and no longer requires its sinks to be MethodAccesses.
  • The logic to detect WebViews with JavaScript (and optionally file access) enabled in the query java/android/unsafe-android-webview-fetch has been improved.

0.1.1

Minor Analysis Improvements

  • Query java/insecure-cookie no longer produces a false positive if cookie.setSecure(...) is called passing a constant that always equals true.

0.1.0

Query Metadata Changes

  • Added the security-severity tag to several queries.

Minor Analysis Improvements

  • Fixed "Local information disclosure in a temporary directory" (java/local-temp-file-or-directory-information-disclosure) to resolve false-negatives when OS isn't properly used as logical guard.
  • The SwitchCase.getRuleExpression() predicate now gets expressions for case rules with an expression on the right-hand side of the arrow belonging to both SwitchStmt and SwitchExpr, and the corresponding getRuleStatement() no longer returns an ExprStmt in either case. Previously SwitchStmt and SwitchExpr behaved differently in this respect.

0.0.13

0.0.12

New Queries

Minor Analysis Improvements

  • Updated "Local information disclosure in a temporary directory" (java/local-temp-file-or-directory-information-disclosure) to remove false-positives when OS is properly used as logical guard.

0.0.11

0.0.10

Breaking Changes

  • Add more classes to Netty request/response splitting. Change identification to java/netty-http-request-or-response-splitting. Identify request splitting differently from response splitting in query results. Support addional classes:
    • io.netty.handler.codec.http.CombinedHttpHeaders
    • io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultHttpRequest
    • io.netty.handler.codec.http.DefaultFullHttpRequest

New Queries

  • A new query titled "Local information disclosure in a temporary directory" (java/local-temp-file-or-directory-information-disclosure) has been added. This query finds uses of APIs that leak potentially sensitive information to other local users via the system temporary directory. This query was originally submitted as query by @JLLeitschuh.

0.0.9

New Queries

  • A new query "Cleartext storage of sensitive information using a local database on Android" (java/android/cleartext-storage-database) has been added. This query finds instances of sensitive data being stored in local databases without encryption, which may expose it to attackers or malicious applications.

0.0.8

New Queries

  • A new query "Use of implicit PendingIntents" (java/android/pending-intents) has been added. This query finds implicit and mutable PendingIntents sent to an unspecified third party component, which may provide an attacker with access to internal components of the application or cause other unintended effects.
  • Two new queries, "Android fragment injection" (java/android/fragment-injection) and "Android fragment injection in PreferenceActivity" (java/android/fragment-injection-preference-activity) have been added. These queries find exported Android activities that instantiate and host fragments created from user-provided data. Such activities are vulnerable to access control bypass and expose the Android application to unintended effects.
  • The query "TrustManager that accepts all certificates" (java/insecure-trustmanager) has been promoted from experimental to the main query pack. Its results will now appear by default. This query was originally submitted as an experimental query by @intrigus-lgtm.
  • The query "Log Injection" (java/log-injection) has been promoted from experimental to the main query pack. Its results will now appear by default. The query was originally submitted as an experimental query by @porcupineyhairs and @dellalibera.
  • A new query "Intent URI permission manipulation" (java/android/intent-uri-permission-manipulation) has been added. This query finds Android components that return unmodified, received Intents to the calling applications, which can provide unintended access to internal content providers of the victim application.
  • A new query "Cleartext storage of sensitive information in the Android filesystem" (java/android/cleartext-storage-filesystem) has been added. This query finds instances of sensitive data being stored in local files without encryption, which may expose it to attackers or malicious applications.
  • The query "Cleartext storage of sensitive information using SharedPreferences on Android" (java/android/cleartext-storage-shared-prefs) has been promoted from experimental to the main query pack. Its results will now appear by default. This query was originally submitted as an experimental query by @luchua-bc.
  • The query "Unsafe certificate trust" (java/unsafe-cert-trust) has been promoted from experimental to the main query pack. Its results will now appear by default. This query was originally submitted as an experimental query by @luchua-bc.

Query Metadata Changes

  • The "Random used only once" (java/random-used-once) query no longer has a security-severity score. This has been causing some tools to categorise it as a security query, when it is more useful as a code-quality query.

0.0.7

0.0.6

0.0.5

Minor Analysis Improvements

  • The java/constant-comparison query no longer raises false alerts regarding comparisons with Unicode surrogate character literals.

0.0.4
