Ruby on Rails Static Analysis Security Tool

Brakeman 3.1.4 Released

Brakeman Pi!

Changes since 3.1.3:

  • Emit Brakeman’s native fingerprints for Code Climate engine (Noah Davis)
  • Ignore secrets.yml if in .gitignore (#777)
  • Work around safe_yaml error (#778)
  • Increase test coverage for option parsing (Zander Mackie)
  • Clean up Ruby warnings (Andy Waite)

Code Climate Fingerprints

The output format for Code Climate has been updated to include warning fingerprints as generated by Brakeman.

Ignored secrets.yml

If secrets.yml is ignored via .gitignore, Brakeman will ignore it, too.

(changes)

Safe YAML Error

For some people, in some cases, date is not loaded prior to loading safe_yaml. This release ensures date is loaded before using SafeYAML and only loads safe_yaml on demand.

Test Coverage and Warning Cleanup

Thanks to Zander Mackie for improving test coverage (up to 91.24%) by writing tests for the command line options and thanks to Andy Waite for cleaning up various Ruby warnings.
