Mass assignment is not restricted using attr_accessible Open

- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This warning comes up if a model does not limit what attributes can be set through mass assignment.
In particular, this check looks for attr_accessible
inside model definitions. If it is not found, this warning will be issued.
Brakeman also warns on use of attr_protected
- especially since it was found to be vulnerable to bypass. Warnings for mass assignment on models using attr_protected
will be reported, but at a lower confidence level.
Note that disabling mass assignment globally will suppress these warnings.
Specify an :inverse_of
option. Open

This cop looks for has(one|many) and belongsto associations where
ActiveRecord can't automatically determine the inverse association
because of a scope or the options used. This can result in unnecessary
queries in some circumstances. :inverse_of
must be manually specified
for associations to work in both ways, or set to false
to opt-out.
Example:
# good
class Blog < ApplicationRecord
has_many :posts
end
class Post < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :blog
end
Example:
# bad
class Blog < ApplicationRecord
has_many :posts, -> { order(published_at: :desc) }
end
class Post < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :blog
end
# good
class Blog < ApplicationRecord
has_many(:posts,
-> { order(published_at: :desc) },
inverse_of: :blog
)
end
class Post < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :blog
end
# good
class Blog < ApplicationRecord
with_options inverse_of: :blog do
has_many :posts, -> { order(published_at: :desc) }
end
end
class Post < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :blog
end
Example:
# bad
class Picture < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :imageable, polymorphic: true
end
class Employee < ApplicationRecord
has_many :pictures, as: :imageable
