Minor Analysis Improvements

False positive results from the swift/cleartext-transmission ("Cleartext transmission of sensitive information") query involving tel:, mailto: and similar URLs have been fixed.

1.0.5

Minor Analysis Improvements

The swift/constant-salt ("Use of constant salts") query now considers string concatenation and interpolation as a barrier. As a result, there will be fewer false positive results from this query involving constructed strings.
The swift/constant-salt ("Use of constant salts") query message now contains a link to the source node.

0.3.9

New Queries

Added a new experimental query, swift/unsafe-unpacking, that detects unpacking user controlled zips without validating the destination file path is within the destination directory.

0.3.8

No user-facing changes.

0.3.7

New Queries

Added new query "Use of an inappropriate cryptographic hashing algorithm on passwords" (swift/weak-password-hashing). This query detects use of inappropriate hashing algorithms for password hashing. Some of the results of this query are new, others would previously have been reported by the "Use of a broken or weak cryptographic hashing algorithm on sensitive data" (swift/weak-sensitive-data-hashing) query.

Minor Analysis Improvements

The diagnostic query swift/diagnostics/successfully-extracted-files now considers any Swift file seen during extraction, even one with some errors, to be extracted / scanned. This affects the Code Scanning UI measure of scanned Swift files.

0.3.6

Minor Analysis Improvements

Added additional sinks for the "Cleartext logging of sensitive information" (swift/cleartext-logging) query. Some of these sinks are heuristic (imprecise) in nature.

0.3.5

No user-facing changes.

0.3.4

Minor Analysis Improvements

Added additional sinks for the "Uncontrolled format string" (swift/uncontrolled-format-string) query. Some of these sinks are heuristic (imprecise) in nature.
Added heuristic (imprecise) sinks for the "Database query built from user-controlled sources" (swift/sql-injection) query.

0.3.3

New Queries

Added new query "System command built from user-controlled sources" (swift/command-line-injection) for Swift. This query detects system commands built from user-controlled sources without sufficient validation. The query was previously contributed to the 'experimental' directory by @maikypedia but will now run by default for all code scanning users.
Added a new query "Missing regular expression anchor" (swift/missing-regexp-anchor) for Swift. This query detects regular expressions without anchors that can be vulnerable to bypassing.

Minor Analysis Improvements

Added additional sinks for the "Uncontrolled data used in path expression" (swift/path-injection) query. Some of these sinks are heuristic (imprecise) in nature.
Fixed an issue where some Realm database sinks were not being recognized for the swift/cleartext-storage-database query.

0.3.2

No user-facing changes.

0.3.1

Minor Analysis Improvements

Added more new logging sinks to the swift/cleartext-logging query.
Added sinks for the GRDB database library to the swift/hardcoded-key query.
Added sqlite3 and SQLite.swift sinks and flow summaries for the swift/hardcoded-key query.
Added sqlite3 and SQLite.swift sinks and flow summaries for the swift/cleartext-storage-database query.

0.3.0

Minor Analysis Improvements

Adder barriers for numeric type values to the injection-like queries, to reduce false positive results where the user input that can be injected is constrainted to a numerical value. The queries updated by this change are: "Predicate built from user-controlled sources" (swift/predicate-injection), "Database query built from user-controlled sources" (swift/sql-injection), "Uncontrolled format string" (swift/uncontrolled-format-string), "JavaScript Injection" (swift/unsafe-js-eval) and "Regular expression injection" (swift/regex-injection).
Added additional taint steps to the swift/cleartext-transmission, swift/cleartext-logging and swift/cleartext-storage-preferences queries to identify data within sensitive containers. This is similar to an existing additional taint step in the swift/cleartext-storage-database query.
Added new logging sinks to the swift/cleartext-logging query.
Added sqlite3 and SQLite.swift path injection sinks for the swift/path-injection query.

0.2.5

No user-facing changes.

0.2.4

New Queries

Added new query "Incomplete regular expression for hostnames" (swift/incomplete-hostname-regexp). This query finds regular expressions matching a URL or hostname that may match more hostnames than expected.

0.2.3

No user-facing changes.

0.2.2

New Queries

Added new query "Command injection" (swift/command-line-injection). The query finds places where user input is used to execute system commands without proper escaping.
Added new query "Bad HTML filtering regexp" (swift/bad-tag-filter). This query finds regular expressions that match HTML tags in a way that is not robust and can easily lead to security issues.

0.2.1

New Queries

Added new query "Regular expression injection" (swift/regex-injection). The query finds places where user input is used to construct a regular expression without proper escaping.
Added new query "Inefficient regular expression" (swift/redos). This query finds regular expressions that require exponential time to match certain inputs and may make an application vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks.

0.2.0

Bug Fixes

Functions and methods modeled as flow summaries are no longer shown in the path of path-problem queries. This results in more succinct paths for most security queries.

0.1.2

No user-facing changes.

0.1.1

Minor Analysis Improvements

Fixed some false positive results from the swift/string-length-conflation query, caused by imprecise sinks.
