email_header_injectionEmail Header Injection — 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.
// WRONG
mailer.sendMail({ to: req.query.to, subject: req.query.subject });
// RIGHT — strip \r\n or use a framework that does it for you
const safe = (v) => String(v).replace(/[\r\n]/g, "");
mailer.sendMail({ to: safe(req.query.to), subject: safe(req.query.subject) }); 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.
