CWE-295

Tls Verification Disabled — 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

Re-enable certificate verification; trust the internal CA explicitly instead low effort

// Before (VULNERABLE): any MITM can read/modify this traffic
const agent = new https.Agent({ rejectUnauthorized: false });

// After (SAFE): verification stays on; the internal CA is trusted
const agent = new https.Agent({ ca: fs.readFileSync("/etc/ssl/internal-ca.pem") });

# Python equivalent:
# requests.get(url, verify="/etc/ssl/internal-ca.pem")  # not verify=False

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.
