Improvements to Java analysis
General improvements
Path explanations have been added to the relevant security queries. Use QL for Eclipse to run queries and explore the data flow in results.
New queries
Query | Tags | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Arbitrary file write during archive extraction ("Zip Slip") (java/zipslip ) |
security, external/cwe/cwe-022 | Identifies extraction routines that allow arbitrary file overwrite vulnerabilities. Results are shown on LGTM by default. |
Missing catch of NumberFormatException (java/uncaught-number-format-exception ) |
reliability, external/cwe/cwe-248 | Finds calls to Integer.parseInt and similar string-to-number conversions that might raise a NumberFormatException without a corresponding catch -clause. Results are hidden on LGTM by default. |
Changes to existing queries
Query | Expected impact | Change |
---|---|---|
Array index out of bounds (java/index-out-of-bounds ) |
Fewer false positive results | Results for arrays with a length evenly divisible by 3, or some greater number, and an index being increased with a similar stride length are no longer reported. |
Confusing overloading of methods (java/confusing-method-signature ) |
Fewer false positive results | A correction to the inheritance relation ensures that spurious results on certain generic classes no longer occur. |
Query built from user-controlled sources (java/sql-injection ) |
More results | SQL injection sinks from the Spring JDBC, MyBatis, and Hibernate frameworks are now reported. |
Query built without neutralizing special characters (java/concatenated-sql-query ) |
More results | SQL injection sinks from the Spring JDBC, MyBatis, and Hibernate frameworks are now reported. |
Unreachable catch clause (java/unreachable-catch-clause ) |
Fewer false positive results | Now accounts for calls to generic methods that throw generic exceptions. |
Useless comparison test (java/constant-comparison ) |
Fewer false positive results | Constant comparisons guarding java.util.ConcurrentModificationException are no longer reported, as they are intended to always be false in the absence of API misuse. |
Changes to QL libraries
- The class
ControlFlowNode
(and by extensionBasicBlock
) has until now been directly equatable toExpr
andStmt
. Exploiting these equalities, for example by using casts, is now deprecated, and the conversionsExpr.getControlFlowNode()
andStmt.getControlFlowNode()
should be used instead. - The default set of taint sources in the
FlowSources
library is extended to cover parameters annotated with Spring framework annotations indicating remote user input from servlets. This affects all security queries, which will yield additional results on projects that use the Spring Web framework. - The
ParityAnalysis
library is replaced with the more generalModulusAnalysis
library, which improves the range analysis.
