Instance Method Details

#taint_analysis(payloads, opts = { }) ⇒ Bool

Performs taint analysis and logs an issue should there be one.

It logs an issue when:

  • ‘:match` == nil AND `:regexp` matches the response body

  • ‘:match“ == not nil AND `:regexp` match == `:match`

  • ‘:substring`exists in the response body

Parameters:

  • payloads (String, Array<String>, Hash{Symbol => <String, Array<String>>}) —

    Payloads to inject, if given:

    • String – Will inject the single payload.

    • Array – Will iterate over all payloads and inject them.

    • Hash – Expects Platform (as ‘Symbol`s ) for keys and Array of

      `payloads` for values. The applicable `payloads` will be
{Platform::Manager#pick picked} from the hash based on
{Element::Capabilities::Submittable#platforms applicable platforms}
for the {Element::Capabilities::Submittable#action resource} to be audited.
  • opts (Hash) (defaults to: { }) —

    Options as described in Check::Auditor::OPTIONS and TAINT_OPTIONS.

Returns:

  • (Bool) —

    ‘true` if the audit was scheduled successfully, `false` otherwise (like if the resource is out of scope).
