`n_plus_one_query`

N Plus One Query — 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

Use eager loading or batch queries medium effort

// Before: N+1 queries
const users = await getUsers();
for (const user of users) {
  user.posts = await getPosts(user.id); // N queries!
}

// After: eager load
const users = await prisma.user.findMany({
  include: { posts: true }, // 1 query with JOIN
});

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.
