Mass assignment is a feature of Rails which allows an application to create a record from the values of a hash.
Example:
User.new(params[:user])
Unfortunately, if there is a user field called admin
which controls administrator access, now any user can make themselves an administrator.
attr_accessible
and attr_protected
can be used to limit mass assignment. However, Brakeman will warn unless attr_accessible
is used, or mass assignment is completely disabled.
There are two different mass assignment warnings which can arise. The first is when mass assignment actually occurs, such as the example above. This results in a warning like
Unprotected mass assignment near line 61: User.new(params[:user])
The other warning is raised whenever a model is found which does not use attr_accessible
. This produces generic warnings like
Mass assignment is not restricted using attr_accessible
with a list of affected models.
In Rails 3.1 and newer, mass assignment can easily be disabled:
config.active_record.whitelist_attributes = true
Unfortunately, it can also easily be bypassed:
User.new(params[:user], :without_protection => true)
Brakeman will warn on uses of without_protection
.

This cop tries to produce a complexity score that's a measure of the
complexity the reader experiences when looking at a method. For that
reason it considers when
nodes as something that doesn't add as much
complexity as an if
or a &&
. Except if it's one of those special
case
/when
constructs where there's no expression after case
. Then
the cop treats it as an if

considers else
nodes as adding complexity.

This cop checks that the cyclomatic complexity of methods is not higher than the configured maximum. The cyclomatic complexity is the number of linearly independent paths through a method. The algorithm counts decision points and adds one.
An if statement (or unless or ?:) increases the complexity by one. An else branch does not, since it doesn't add a decision point. The && operator (or keyword and) can be converted to a nested if statement, and ||/or is shorthand for a sequence of ifs, so they also add one. Loops can be said to have an exit condition, so they add one.

Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.
A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:
- Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
- Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
- Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Duplicated Code
Duplicated code can lead to software that is hard to understand and difficult to change. The Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle states:
Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.
When you violate DRY, bugs and maintenance problems are sure to follow. Duplicated code has a tendency to both continue to replicate and also to diverge (leaving bugs as two similar implementations differ in subtle ways).
Tuning
This issue has a mass of 56.
We set useful threshold defaults for the languages we support but you may want to adjust these settings based on your project guidelines.
The threshold configuration represents the minimum mass a code block must have to be analyzed for duplication. The lower the threshold, the more fine-grained the comparison.
If the engine is too easily reporting duplication, try raising the threshold. If you suspect that the engine isn't catching enough duplication, try lowering the threshold. The best setting tends to differ from language to language.

Useless assignment to variable - original_user_name
. Open

- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for every useless assignment to local variable in every
scope.
The basic idea for this cop was from the warning of ruby -cw
:
assigned but unused variable - foo
Currently this cop has advanced logic that detects unreferenced reassignments and properly handles varied cases such as branch, loop, rescue, ensure, etc.
Example:
# bad
def some_method
some_var = 1
do_something
end
Example:
# good
def some_method
some_var = 1
do_something(some_var)
end

Checks for if and unless statements that would fit on one line
if written as a modifier if/unless. The maximum line length is
configured in the Metrics/LineLength
cop.

# bad
if condition
do_stuff(bar)
end
unless qux.empty?
Foo.do_something
end
# good
do_stuff(bar) if condition
Foo.do_something unless qux.empty?
Avoid multi-line ternary operators, use if
or unless
instead. Open

This cop checks for usage of comparison operators (==

These can be replaced by their respective predicate methods.

as it its value is truthy or falsey,
but not true
and false
, and thus not always interchangeable with
!= 0
.
The cop ignores comparisons to global variables, since they are often
populated with objects which can be compared with integers, but are
not themselves Interger
polymorphic.
Example: EnforcedStyle: predicate (default)

bar.baz.positive?
Example: EnforcedStyle: comparison
# bad
foo.zero?
foo.negative?
bar.baz.positive?
# good
foo == 0
0 > foo
bar.baz > 0
Use safe navigation (&.

This cop transforms usages of a method call safeguarded by a non nil
check for the variable whose method is being called to
safe navigation (&.

Configuration option: ConvertCodeThatCanStartToReturnNil
The default for this is false
. When configured to true
, this will
check for code in the format !foo.nil? && foo.bar
. As it is written,
the return of this code is limited to false
and whatever the return
of the method is. If this is converted to safe navigation,
foo&.bar
can start returning nil
as well as what the method
returns.
Example:
# bad
foo.bar if foo
foo.bar(param1, param2) if foo
foo.bar { |e| e.something } if foo
foo.bar(param) { |e| e.something } if foo
foo.bar if !foo.nil?

Convert if
nested inside else
to elsif
. Open
if SystemSetting.administrator_activates?
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
If the else
branch of a conditional consists solely of an if
node,
it can be combined with the else
to become an elsif
.
This helps to keep the nesting level from getting too deep.
Example:
# bad
if condition_a
action_a
else
if condition_b
action_b
else
action_c
end
end
# good
if condition_a
action_a
elsif condition_b
action_b
else
action_c
end
Avoid modifier unless
after another conditional. Open
return if @user unless params[:user]
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Checks for if and unless statements used as modifiers of other if or unless statements.
Example:
# bad tired? ? 'stop' : 'go faster' if running?
# bad if tired? "please stop" else "keep going" end if running?
# good if running? tired? ? 'stop' : 'go faster' end
