24 findings likely need attention. Most notable: `Clean` is not intended to sanitize against path traversal attacks. This function is fo... (78% confidence).

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
Medium (72)
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.

24 of 32 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.

high semgrep `Clean` is not intended to sanitize against path traversal attacks. This function is for finding the shortest path name equivalent to the given input. Using `Clean` to sanitize file reads may expose this application to path traversal attacks, where an attacker could access arbitrary files on the ser 1 /core/phpctx/http.go:20
high semgrep Detected non-static command inside Command. Audit the input to 'exec.Command'. If unverified user data can reach this call site, this is a code injection vulnerability. A malicious actor can inject a malicious script to execute arbitrary code. 5 /ext/standard/fs.go:1835
medium semgrep Downcasting or changing sign of an integer with `$CAST_METHOD` method 3 /core/zscanf.go:208
medium semgrep The package `net/http/cgi` is on the import blocklist. The package is vulnerable to httpoxy attacks (CVE-2015-5386). It is recommended to use `net/http` or a web framework to build a web application instead. 1 /sapi/php-cgi/main.go:35
medium semgrep Detected a network listener listening on 0.0.0.0 or an empty string. This could unexpectedly expose the server publicly as it binds to all available interfaces. Instead, specify another IP address that is not 0.0.0.0 nor the empty string. 1 /sapi/php-httpd/main.go:38
medium semgrep Detected MD5 hash algorithm which is considered insecure. MD5 is not collision resistant and is therefore not suitable as a cryptographic signature. Use SHA256 or SHA3 instead. 5 /ext/standard/crypt_md5.go:35
medium semgrep Detected SHA1 hash algorithm which is considered insecure. SHA1 is not collision resistant and is therefore not suitable as a cryptographic signature. Use SHA256 or SHA3 instead. 2 /ext/standard/strings.go:771
medium semgrep `MinVersion` is missing from this TLS configuration. By default, as of Go 1.22, TLS 1.2 is currently used as the minimum. General purpose web applications should default to TLS 1.3 with all other protocols disabled. Only where it is known that a web server must support legacy clients with unsuppor 1 /ext/curl/curl.go:347
medium semgrep String-formatted SQL query detected. This could lead to SQL injection if the string is not sanitized properly. Audit this call to ensure the SQL is not manipulable by external data. 2 /ext/mysqli/mysqli.go:382
medium semgrep GitHub Actions step uses a mutable tag or branch reference. Tags and branch names can be silently repointed by the action owner, enabling supply-chain attacks — as seen in the trivy-action and kics-github-action compromises. Pin the reference to a full 40-character commit SHA instead, e.g. `uses: ac 5 /.github/workflows/ci.yml:19
