Cryptographic APIs misuses #215

Closed misterAnderson90 closed 2 years ago

misterAnderson90 commented 2 years ago

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

We found a total of 7 warnings (indicating potential vulnerabilities) when running the CogniCrypt static analyzer (*) on budget-watch (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 budget-watch's security, and the quality of the reports of static analysis tools.

You are welcome to send me the gists.

Hi, Branden

In the same way of gift_card_guard and loyalty-card-locker the CognyCrypt reported 7 issues on budget-watch related to Google's Guava libraries.

I'll raise an issue there instead.

Please let me know if you are interested in receiving these warnings.
