Environment configuration file path detected

Network communication detected

File system manipulation detected

Cryptographic operations detected

Command line arguments can be dangerous just like any other user input. They should never be used without being first validated and sanitized. Remember also that any user can retrieve the list of processes running on a system, which makes the arguments provided to them visible. Thus passing sensitive information via command line arguments should be considered as insecure. This rule raises an issue when on every program entry points (main methods) when command line arguments are used. The goal is to guide security code reviews. Sanitize all command line arguments before using them. For more information checkout the CWE-88 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/88.html) advisory.

System command execution detected

When software generates predictable values in a context requiring unpredictability, it may be possible for an attacker to guess the next value that will be generated, and use this guess to impersonate another user or access sensitive information. As the Math.random() function relies on a weak pseudorandom number generator, this function should not be used for security-critical applications or for protecting sensitive data. In such context, a cryptographically strong pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) should be used instead. For more information checkout the CWE-338 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/338.html) advisory.

File download activity detected

Persistence mechanism detected

The eval function is extremely dangerous. Because if any user input is not handled correctly and passed to it, it will be possible to execute code remotely in the context of your application (RCE - Remote Code Executuion). For more information checkout the CWE-94 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/94.html) advisory.

Browsers allow message exchanges between Window objects of different origins. Because any window can send / receive messages from other window it is important to verify the sender's / receiver's identity: When sending message with postMessage method, the identity's receiver should be defined (the wildcard keyword (*) should not be used).\nWhen receiving message with message event, the sender's identity should be verified using the origin and possibly source properties. For more information checkout the OWASP A2:2017 (https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/2017/A2_2017-Broken_Authentication) and (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/postMessage) advisory.

Windows registry modification detected

Environment variable access detected

Arbitrary OS command injection vulnerabilities are more likely when a shell is spawned rather than a new process, indeed shell meta-chars can be used (when parameters are user-controlled for instance) to inject OS commands. For more information checkout the CWE-78 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/78.html) advisory.

It is common for attackers to craft inputs enabling them to exploit software vulnerabilities. Thus any data read from the standard input (stdin) can be dangerous and should be validated. Sanitize all data read from the standard input before using it. For more information checkout the CWE-20 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/20.html) advisory.

The debugger statement can be placed anywhere in procedures to suspend execution. Using the debugger statement is similar to setting a breakpoint in the code. By definition such statement must absolutely be removed from the source code to prevent any unexpected behavior or added vulnerability to attacks in production. For more information checkout the CWE-489 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/489.html) advisory.

Sanitizing untrusted URLs is an important technique for preventing attacks such as request forgeries and malicious redirections. Often, this is done by checking that the host of a URL is in a set of allowed hosts. For more information checkout the CWE-20 (https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/20.html) advisory.
