contract_vulnerability

Contract Vulnerability — a PullGuard finding type. Findings of this type appear in the PR comment, Step Summary, SARIF (GitHub Security tab / IDE viewers), and the HTML report, each with severity, location, and the remediation guidance below.

How to fix

Apply the standard mitigation for the flagged contract pattern high effort

// Reentrancy: checks-effects-interactions or OpenZeppelin ReentrancyGuard.
// tx.origin: authenticate with msg.sender, never tx.origin.
// delegatecall: only to trusted, audited implementations.
// External calls: (bool ok, ) = addr.call(...); require(ok);

Triage

Suppress a confirmed non-issue with a committed .pullguardignore entry (pullguard ignore locally, or comment /pullguard ignore <fingerprint> <reason> on the PR — the fingerprint is printed in the PR comment’s Triage section). Entries support expiresAt for time-boxed snoozes.

Security findings at major or critical severity — and any critical finding — always surface: .pullguardignore cannot hide them. The reviewed paths that keep them visible are acknowledged (reviewed, stays in reports) and, for a confirmed false positive, a reasoned false_positive entry — visible and audited, excluded only from the merge block.
