    Top issues, with file & line

    These are deterministic rule-based findings — the file paths and line numbers below are real and can be verified in your tree.

    1. [high] [SEC020] Secret Printed to Logs: Debug or diagnostic code appears to print a credential-bearing value. This is a frequent AI-assisted coding failure: the helper exposes the exact value needed for troubleshooting. — share/rpcauth/rpcauth.py:45 Log only redacted, hashed, or last-four-style metadata. Rotate any secret that may have reached logs.
    2. [high] [SEC013] Path Traversal — User Input in File Path: User-controlled input used in file path without sanitization. Allows reading arbitrary files. — src/common/run_command.cpp:28 Use os.path.realpath() and verify the path starts with your expected base directory. Use secure_filename() for uploads.
    3. [high] [SEC013] Path Traversal — User Input in File Path: User-controlled input used in file path without sanitization. Allows reading arbitrary files. — src/dbwrapper.cpp:248 Use os.path.realpath() and verify the path starts with your expected base directory. Use secure_filename() for uploads.
    4. [low] No LICENSE file Add a LICENSE file to your repository. Use choosealicense.com to pick the right license (MIT for permissive, Apache 2.0 for patent protection, GPL for copyleft).
    5. [low] Duplicated implementation block across source files — contrib/devtools/deterministic-unittest-coverage/src/main.rs:67 Extract the shared behavior into one function/module or delete the inactive duplicate after proving which path is used.

    What is this? Repobility is a research project that scans public repositories with a multi-layer static analyzer (rule-based, no AI hallucinations) and learns code-quality patterns across a broad cross-repo corpus. This is not a sales pitch — there's no paywall, no signup required to view the report, and no payment ask. If the findings aren't useful, please close this issue and we won't post again.

    To re-run after fixes land: paste your repo URL at repobility.com — fresh scan, free.
