mrxcavator

mrxcavator is a CLI client implementation for the service CRXcavator.io.

OpenSSF Scorecard

Overview

The following overview was taken from the service's about page:

CRXcavator automatically scans the entire Chrome Web Store every 3 hours and produces a quantified risk score for each Chrome Extension based on several factors. These factors include permissions, inclusion of vulnerable third party javascript libraries, weak content security policies, missing details from the Chrome Web Store description, and more. Organizations can use this tool to assess the Chrome Extensions they have installed and to move towards implementing explicit allow (whitelisting) for their organization.

Engineering Approach

flake8 is a command-line utility for enforcing style consistency across Python projects. By default it includes lint checks provided by the PyFlakes project, PEP-0008 inspired style checks provided by the PyCodeStyle project, and McCabe complexity checking provided by the McCabe project.

mypy is an optional static type checker for Python. You can add type hints (PEP 484) to your Python programs, and use mypy to type check them statically. Find bugs in your programs without even running them!

pdoc the perfect documentation generator for small-to-medium-sized, tidy Python projects. It generates documentation simply from your project's already-existing public modules' and objects' docstrings, like sphinx-apidoc or sphinx.ext.autodoc, but without the hassle of these tools.

black is the uncompromising Python code formatter. By using it, you agree to cede control over minutiae of hand-formatting. In return, Black gives you speed, determinism, and freedom from pycodestyle nagging about formatting. You will save time and mental energy for more important matters.

PEP 3107 introduced syntax for function annotations, but the semantics were deliberately left undefined. There has now been enough 3rd party usage for static type analysis that the community would benefit from a standard vocabulary and baseline tools within the standard library. This PEP introduces a provisional module to provide these standard definitions and tools, along with some conventions for situations where annotations are not available.

Python is the main dynamic language used at Google. This style guide is a list of dos and don’ts for Python programs.

Note: The use of this guide is primarily for docstring formatting, which complements type hints nicely.

The argparse module makes it easy to write user-friendly command-line interfaces. The program defines what arguments it requires, and argparse will figure out how to parse those out of sys.argv. The argparse module also automatically generates help and usage messages and issues errors when users give the program invalid arguments.
