Code is included in the scan results (as "excerpt")

Open pandurangpatil opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Code is included in the scan results (as "excerpt") which is used to provide context for the finding. If someone chooses to use the Privacy View Cloud Dashboard, that code is uploaded to your cloud. I believe people will notice this and some will likely have a problem with it, especially since the github states ”Note that no code is sent to the cloud.”

Describe the solution you'd like I suggest updating the language or asking the user if they want the code snippet to be included in the upload.

If the enhancement is being implemented, then can the documentation be changed now to state - 'By default no code is sent to the cloud, but the user can choose to send code snippets to the cloud'. It will help if the excerpt has

  • Path to the file, filename
  • Line number
  • Last author (not sure about this one)

Also, it will help to consider if sending snippets to cloud can be an administrator level setting in the future - all-repos, specific repos, or only repos other than these etc.
