Contribute

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the development of new detectors.

Getting Started​

Create a new issue on our repository with the name of the new detector or test case you wish to contribute. Then, link a new branch to that issue.

If your detector or test case doesn't belong to an existing vulnerability class, please provide documentation for the new vulnerability class you're proposing.

❗ Requirement: All detectors and test cases should follow the kebab-case naming convention, using lowercase and hyphens only.

Detectors​

To contribute a new detector:

  1. Choose an appropriate template. Browse our templates at templates/detectors. Decide on the early-lint or late-lint template, based on whether you want to lint before or after macro expansion.

  2. Add your modified detector files to a new folder, naming it after your detector, inside the detectors directory.

Test Cases​

To contribute a new test case:

  1. Determine the vulnerability class to which your test case belongs. Then, create a new sub-folder under that class in the test-cases directory. Remember to append the detector number at the end, separated by a hyphen.

  2. Within this sub-folder, create two directories: vulnerable-example and remediated-example. Fill each with the relevant files for their respective test cases. If possible, incorporate integration or e2e tests. For guidance, refer to the flipper template in templates/test-case.
