Now the G401 rule is split into hashing and encryption algorithms.
G401 is responsible for checking the usage of MD5 and SHA1, with corresponding CWE of 328.
And G405(New rule) is responsible for checking the usege of DES and RC4, with corresponding CWE of 327.
Update the AddRule interface to allow rules to register interest in
multiple ast.Nodes. Adds more flexibility to how rules can work, and was
needed to fix the hard coded credentials test specifically.
There seems to be an inconsistency in the way that the type.Info.Uses
map is populated by the type checker in Go 1.5 and the latest release.
It is possible to ascertain the package that relates to an object 1.7.x
release but this does not work for earlier Go versions.
To work around this limitation we now track imports, and monitor if they
are aliased or initalization only imports.
This makes the following changes:
- riles are identified by an ID
- include / exclude list now work
- rules are selected based on these lists
- blacklist rules are broken out into methods
- rule constructors now take the config map
- config file can be used to select rules
- CLI options embelish config selection options
Creating a new generic blacklist rule and removing the older
specific ones. This will need configuration integration when
we have some.
The new test is immune to import aliasing but not shadowing
There are some cases where the '.' character would also match any
character and could lead to incorrect results. For example the
regular expression - `^ioutils.WriteFile$' would match
ioutils.WriteFile, but also ioutils_WriteFile.
Additionally made sure that all regexp were declared using raw
strings to avoid any unnecesary string escaping that potentially
make the regexp difficult to read.
