Our Threat Model

What is considered a vulnerability?

We assume that a project which makes use of this plugin to apply a reasonable amount of scrutiny to all patches that are accepted. We understand that this is a fuzzy line and the level of expected judgement and sensitivity to security issues will vary between projects and reviewers.

JavaScript static analysis is always very limited. On top we are limiting ourselves to the APIs that are provided by eslint. Most notable, there's no constant folding, so we can't allow variables that have been defined statically in different code paths or different files.

Here's a a couple of examples which we do not consider a bug in the linter:

foo['inner'+'HTML'] = evil; // no way to resolve concatenation
eval(atob(...)) // use eslint no-eval rules please.

function(d) { return document }
d.write(evil); // no way to resolve "d" statically
