missing_auth_checkMissing Auth Check — 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.
// Express / NestJS
router.get("/admin", requireAuth, handler);
@Get("/admin")
@UseGuards(AuthGuard)
adminRoute() { ... }
// Spring
@PreAuthorize("isAuthenticated()")
@GetMapping("/admin")
public Admin getAdmin() { ... }
// Django (function view)
@login_required
def admin_view(request): ...
// Flask
@app.route("/admin")
@login_required
def admin(): ...
// Rails
class AdminController < ApplicationController
before_action :authenticate_user!
end // Express: router.use(auth) applies to all subsequent routes
const adminRouter = express.Router();
adminRouter.use(requireAuth);
adminRouter.get("/", listAdmins);
adminRouter.post("/", createAdmin); 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.
