I'm a PhD student interested in finding security vulnerabilities in open source projects.

We found a total of 2 warnings (indicating potential vulnerabilities) when running the CogniCrypt static analyzer (*) on privacy-friendly-password-generator (or its library dependencies). We documented each one of these issues in private gists for the sake of confidentiality (non-disclosure).

Can you please let us know whether we can share these gists with you? We are eager to evaluate the perception of developers (e.g. severity of these warnings) and improve on privacy-friendly-password-generator's security, and the quality of the reports of static analysis tools.

Please, report this spammer. This is just a bot spamming the very same message to tons of open source repositories. The only things that are changed in the message are the repository's name and the amount of warnings.
