When I changed the taint modeling in 19b7ea8d85, that obviously also means that
some of the related locations for alerts will change. So that's why all the
examples needs to be updated.
Besides this, I had to fix a minor problem with having too many alerts. If
running a query agaisnt code like in the example below, there would be 3 alerts,
2 of them originating from the import.
```
from flask import Flask, request
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/route")
def route():
SINK(request.args.get['input'])
```
The 2 import sources where:
- ControlFlowNode for ImportMember
- GSSA Variable request
I removed these from being a RemoteFlowSource, as seen in the diff.
I considered restricting `FlaskRequestSource` so it only extends
`DataFlow::CfgNode` (and make the logic a bit simpler), but I wasn't actually
sure if that was safe to do or not... If you know, please let me know :)
We don't actually need it for anything right now, but I have plans for the
future where would need it.
Although it would be nice to have it as an `API::Node`, and we could re-write
implementations so we could provide it in this instance, I'm not convinced we
can do that in general right now.
For example, if <n'th> parameter of a function has to be modeled as belonging to
a certain type, I don't see any way to specify that as an API::Node.
For me, that's ok. Until we _can_ specify things like this as API::Nodes in the
future, I would like to keep things consistent, and use `DataFlow::Node` as the
result type.
This was a good time to do this, so we don't have 2 different ways of doing the
same thing.
I needed to do this to figure out if we should expose
`API::moduleImport("flask").getMember("request")` in a helper predicate or
not. I think I ended up using more refenreces to this in the end. Although it's
not unreasonable to let someone do this themselves, I also think it's reasonable
that we provide a helper predicate for this.
This makes collecting metrics on framework coverage a bit simpler (specifically
giving the RoutedParameter class a more descriptive result for getSourceType).
I guess it can also help a bit when trying to get an overview of a new DB, but
making metrics collection easier is my main motivation for this.
This fixes some spurious results that occurred when we considered
_any_ use of `request.something` to be a source, even ones we had
tracked into other functions. To prevent this, using
`getAnImmediateUse` better captures the fact that we want the source
to be just the actual attribute access.
