@@ -4,37 +4,52 @@ The following changes in version 1.24 affect Python analysis in all applications
## General improvements
Support for Django version 2.x and 3.x
- Support for Django version 2.x and 3.x
## New queries
- Taint tracking now correctly tracks taint in destructuring assignments. For example, if `tainted_list` is a list of tainted tainted elements, then
```python
head, *tail = tainted_list
```
will result in `tail` being tainted with the same taint as `tainted_list`, and `head` being tainted with the taint of the elements of `tainted_list`.
- A large number of libraries and queries have been moved to the new `Value` API, which should result in more precise results.
- The `Value` interface has been extended in various ways:
- A new `StringValue` class has been added, for tracking string literals.
- Values now have a `booleanValue` method which returns the boolean interpretation of the given value.
- Built-in methods for which the return type is not fixed are now modeled as returning an unknown value by default.
| **Query** | **Tags** | **Purpose** |
|-----------------------------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
## Changes to existing queries
| **Query** | **Expected impact** | **Change** |
|----------------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Uncontrolled command line (`py/command-line-injection`) | More results | We now model the `fabric` and `invoke` pacakges for command execution. |
| Arbitrary file write during tarfile extraction (`py/tarslip`) | Fewer false negative results | Negations are now handled correctly in conditional expressions that may sanitize tainted values. |
| First parameter of a method is not named 'self' (`py/not-named-self`) | Fewer false positive results | `__class_getitem__` is now recognized as a class method. |
| Import of deprecated module (`py/import-deprecated-module`) | Fewer false positive results | Deprecated modules that are used to provide backwards compatibility are no longer reported.|
| Module imports itself (`py/import-own-module`) | Fewer false positive results | Imports local to a given package are no longer classified as self-imports. |
| Uncontrolled command line (`py/command-line-injection`) | More results | We now model the `fabric` and `invoke` packages for command execution. |
### Web framework support
The QL-library support for the web frameworks Bottle, CherryPy, Falcon, Pyramid, TurboGears, Tornado, and Twisted have
been fixed so they provide a proper HttpRequestTaintSource, instead of a TaintSource. This will enable results for the following queries:
The CodeQL library has improved support for the web frameworks: Bottle, CherryPy, Falcon, Pyramid, TurboGears, Tornado, and Twisted. They now provide a proper `HttpRequestTaintSource`, instead of a `TaintSource`. This will enable results for the following queries:
- py/path-injection
- py/command-line-injection
- py/reflective-xss
- py/sql-injection
- py/code-injection
- py/unsafe-deserialization
- py/url-redirection
- `py/path-injection`
- `py/command-line-injection`
- `py/reflective-xss`
- `py/sql-injection`
- `py/code-injection`
- `py/unsafe-deserialization`
- `py/url-redirection`
The QL-library support for the web framework Twisted have been fixed so they provide a proper
HttpResponseTaintSink, instead of a TaintSink. This will enable results for the following
The library also has improved support for the web framework Twisted. It now provides a proper
`HttpResponseTaintSink`, instead of a `TaintSink`. This will enable results for the following
queries:
- py/reflective-xss
- py/stack-trace-exposure
- `py/reflective-xss`
- `py/stack-trace-exposure`
## Changes to libraries
### Taint tracking
- The `urlsplit` and `urlparse` functions now propagate taint appropriately.
- HTTP requests using the `requests` library are now modeled.
