Generated from finding counts. A plain-English summary was not available for this scan.

Risk, by type

MalDet scores two different questions separately, because they call for different responses: code can be badly written without being hostile, and hostile code is not always badly written.

Vulnerability
Safe (0)
Insecure coding an attacker could exploit. Usually mistakes, and usually fixable in place.
Malicious pattern
Low (3)
Signs the code may be trying to do harm: hidden payloads, credential access, persistence, exfiltration.

What each detector found

2 of 63 findings were rated more likely genuine than noise by the classifier.

Evidence

Identical findings are grouped, so a single rule firing many times takes one row. Ordered worst first. “Seen” is how many times that finding occurred.
