Summary

16 findings likely need attention, 67 look like noise. Most notable: Executing non-constant commands. This can lead to command injection. (43% confidence).

Generated from finding counts. A plain-English summary was not available for this scan.

Risk, by type

MalDet scores two different questions separately, because they call for different responses: code can be badly written without being hostile, and hostile code is not always badly written.

Vulnerability
Medium (49)
Insecure coding an attacker could exploit. Usually mistakes, and usually fixable in place.
Malicious pattern
Low (1)
Signs the code may be trying to do harm: hidden payloads, credential access, persistence, exfiltration.

16 of 84 findings were rated more likely genuine than noise by the classifier.

Evidence

Identical findings are grouped, so a single rule firing many times takes one row. Ordered worst first. “Seen” is how many times that finding occurred.

high semgrep Executing non-constant commands. This can lead to command injection. 1 /scripts/koel-init.php:7
high yara YARA rule matched: detect_download_and_execute — Downloads a remote resource AND executes it - the actually dangerous combination, not just downloading alone 3 /CLAUDE.md
medium semgrep RegExp() called with a `route` function argument, this might allow an attacker to cause a Regular Expression Denial-of-Service (ReDoS) within your application as RegExP blocks the main thread. For this reason, it is recommended to use hardcoded regexes instead. If your regex is run on user-controlle 1 /resources/assets/js/router.ts:71
medium semgrep Dynamically rendering arbitrary HTML on your website can be very dangerous because it can easily lead to XSS vulnerabilities. Only use HTML interpolation on trusted content and never on user-provided content. 8 /resources/assets/js/components/artist/ArtistInfo.vue:11
medium semgrep This pnpm workspace configuration does not set a minimum release age. Newly published packages can be malicious or unstable. Add `minimumReleaseAge: 10080` (minutes) to wait at least seven days before installing newly published package versions. Added in: v10.16.0 Reference: https://pnpm.io/settings 1 /pnpm-workspace.yaml:6
medium semgrep A secret is hard-coded in the application. Secrets stored in source code, such as credentials, identifiers, and other types of sensitive data, can be leaked and used by internal or external malicious actors. It is recommended to rotate the secret and retrieve them from a secure secret vault or Hardw 2 /config/database.php:140
medium semgrep Missing or incorrect trustPolicy. Set `trustPolicy: no-downgrade` to prevent malicious package updates from downgrading security settings. Added in: v10.21.0 Reference: https://pnpm.io/settings#trustpolicy 1 /pnpm-workspace.yaml:6
medium semgrep Missing or incorrect blockExoticSubdeps. Set `blockExoticSubdeps: true` to transitive dependencies from being installed from untrusted sources. Added in: v10.26.0 Reference: https://pnpm.io/settings#blockexoticsubdeps 1 /pnpm-workspace.yaml:6
