Advisory: CVE-2015-9284

Solution: upgrade to >= 2.0.0

This cop checks if the length of a block exceeds some maximum value. Comment lines can optionally be ignored. The maximum allowed length is configurable. The cop can be configured to ignore blocks passed to certain methods.

You can set literals you want to fold with CountAsOne. Available are: 'array', 'hash', and 'heredoc'. Each literal will be counted as one line regardless of its actual size.

NOTE: The ExcludedMethods configuration is deprecated and only kept for backwards compatibility. Please use IgnoredMethods instead.

Example: CountAsOne: ['array', 'heredoc']

something do
  array = [         # +1
    1,
    2
  ]

  hash = {          # +3
    key: 'value'
  }

Injection is #1 on the 2013 OWASP Top Ten web security risks. SQL injection is when a user is able to manipulate a value which is used unsafely inside a SQL query. This can lead to data leaks, data loss, elevation of privilege, and other unpleasant outcomes.

Brakeman focuses on ActiveRecord methods dealing with building SQL statements.

A basic (Rails 2.x) example looks like this:

User.first(:conditions => "username = '#{params[:username]}'")

Brakeman would produce a warning like this:

Possible SQL injection near line 30: User.first(:conditions => ("username = '#{params[:username]}'"))

The safe way to do this query is to use a parameterized query:

User.first(:conditions => ["username = ?", params[:username]])

Brakeman also understands the new Rails 3.x way of doing things (and local variables and concatenation):

username = params[:user][:name].downcase
password = params[:user][:password]

User.first.where("username = '" + username + "' AND password = '" + password + "'")

This results in this kind of warning:

Possible SQL injection near line 37:
User.first.where((((("username = '" + params[:user][:name].downcase) + "' AND password = '") + params[:user][:password]) + "'"))

See the Ruby Security Guide for more information and Rails-SQLi.org for many examples of SQL injection in Rails.

This cop checks for methods with too many parameters.

The maximum number of parameters is configurable. Keyword arguments can optionally be excluded from the total count, as they add less complexity than positional or optional parameters.

Example: Max: 3

# good
def foo(a, b, c = 1)
end

Example: Max: 2

# bad
def foo(a, b, c = 1)
end

Example: CountKeywordArgs: true (default)

# counts keyword args towards the maximum

# bad (assuming Max is 3)
def foo(a, b, c, d: 1)
end

# good (assuming Max is 3)
def foo(a, b, c: 1)
end

Example: CountKeywordArgs: false

# don't count keyword args towards the maximum

# good (assuming Max is 3)
def foo(a, b, c, d: 1)
end

This cop also checks for the maximum number of optional parameters. This can be configured using the MaxOptionalParameters config option.

Example: MaxOptionalParameters: 3 (default)

# good
def foo(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3)
end

Example: MaxOptionalParameters: 2

# bad
def foo(a = 1, b = 2, c = 3)
end

This cop checks for places where multiple consecutive loops over the same data can be combined into a single loop. It is very likely that combining them will make the code more efficient and more concise.

It is marked as unsafe, because the first loop might modify a state that the second loop depends on; these two aren't combinable.

Example:

# bad
def method
  items.each do |item|
    do_something(item)
  end

  items.each do |item|
    do_something_else(item)
  end
end

# good
def method
  items.each do |item|
    do_something(item)
    do_something_else(item)
  end
end

# bad
def method
  for item in items do
    do_something(item)
  end

  for item in items do
    do_something_else(item)
  end
end

# good
def method
  for item in items do
    do_something(item)
    do_something_else(item)
  end
end

# good
def method
  each_slice(2) { |slice| do_something(slice) }
  each_slice(3) { |slice| do_something(slice) }
end

This cop checks for places where string concatenation can be replaced with string interpolation.

The cop can autocorrect simple cases but will skip autocorrecting more complex cases where the resulting code would be harder to read. In those cases, it might be useful to extract statements to local variables or methods which you can then interpolate in a string.

NOTE: When concatenation between two strings is broken over multiple lines, this cop does not register an offense; instead, Style/LineEndConcatenation will pick up the offense if enabled.

Example:

# bad
email_with_name = user.name + ' '

# good
email_with_name = "#{user.name} "
email_with_name = format('%s ', user.name, user.email)

# accepted, line-end concatenation
name = 'First' +
  'Last'

This cop checks for places where keyword arguments can be used instead of boolean arguments when defining methods. respond_to_missing? method is allowed by default. These are customizable with AllowedMethods option.

Example:

# bad
def some_method(bar = false)
  puts bar
end

# bad - common hack before keyword args were introduced
def some_method(options = {})
  bar = options.fetch(:bar, false)
  puts bar
end

# good
def some_method(bar: false)
  puts bar
end

Example: AllowedMethods: ['some_method']

# good
def some_method(bar = false)
  puts bar
end

# good

end

Checks if uses of quotes match the configured preference.

Example: EnforcedStyle: single_quotes (default)

# bad
"No special symbols"
"No string interpolation"
"Just text"

# good
'No special symbols'
'No string interpolation'
'Just text'
"Wait! What's #{this}!"

Example: EnforcedStyle: double_quotes

# bad
'Just some text'
'No special chars or interpolation'

# good
"Just some text"
"No special chars or interpolation"
"Every string in #{project} uses double_quotes"

This cop enforces the use of explicit block argument to avoid writing block literal that just passes its arguments to another block.

NOTE: This cop only registers an offense if the block args match the yield args exactly.

Example:

# bad
def with_tmp_dir
  Dir.mktmpdir do |tmp_dir|
    Dir.chdir(tmp_dir) { |dir| yield dir } # block just passes arguments
  end
end

# bad
def nine_times
  9.times { yield }
end

# good
def with_tmp_dir(&block)
  Dir.mktmpdir do |tmp_dir|
    Dir.chdir(tmp_dir, &block)
  end
end

with_tmp_dir do |dir|
  puts "dir is accessible as a parameter and pwd is set: #{dir}"
end

# good
def nine_times(&block)
  9.times(&block)
end
