Walkthrough

Three new files have been added: a configuration file for CodeRabbit review path filters, a Semgrep rule to warn against the use of React's dangerouslySetInnerHTML, and a React component file demonstrating both risky and safe patterns for setting HTML. No changes were made to existing public or exported entities.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
.coderabbit.yml Added configuration file specifying path filters for review processes.
semgrep.yml Added Semgrep rule to warn about use of dangerouslySetInnerHTML in React code.
sampleReact.jsx Introduced TestComponent (uses dangerouslySetInnerHTML) and OkComponent (returns static HTML object).

Poem

In the garden of code, a new rule appears,
To warn of XSS and allay our fears.
Components bloom, some risky, some neat,
With filters and configs, our safety’s complete.
🐇 Here’s to safe code, both clever and bright,
May our carrots be crunchy and our markup just right!

Impact Analysis

New React component uses dangerouslySetInnerHTML, introducing potential XSS

🚨 Critical 🔒Impacts security

A new React component TestComponent injects HTML via dangerouslySetInnerHTML using content from createMarkup(), which can lead to cross-site scripting vulnerabilities if the HTML is untrusted.

Ensure createMarkup properly sanitizes all input before injection or replace dangerouslySetInnerHTML with safer rendering methods; remove or repurpose the unused discordClientKey in OkComponent.

Write tests feeding malicious HTML into TestComponent to confirm sanitization or safe handling; verify OkComponent’s output does not introduce XSS and that unused constants are cleaned up.

2-2: Simplify the path filters configuration.

The current configuration includes both "**/*" and "*" patterns, but "**/*" already covers all files recursively including those in the root directory, making "*" redundant.

-  path_filters: ["**/*","*"]
+  path_filters: ["**/*"]
semgrep.yml (1)

14-14: Add missing newline at end of file.

The file is missing a newline character at the end, which is flagged by yamllint and is a common best practice for text files.

🔇 Additional comments (2)
semgrep.yml (1)

1-14: Excellent security rule implementation!

The Semgrep rule correctly identifies dangerous uses of dangerouslySetInnerHTML in both JSX attributes and object properties. The warning message clearly explains the XSS risk, and the pattern matching covers the key usage scenarios.

sampleReact.jsx (1)

2-3: Security warning correctly detected.

The static analysis tools are correctly flagging the use of dangerouslySetInnerHTML as a security risk. This appears to be intentional for testing the Semgrep rule, as indicated by the ruleid comment.

⚠️ Potential issue

Remove hardcoded Discord client secret.

A potential Discord client secret is hardcoded in the code, which poses a security risk even in test files. Replace it with a placeholder or use environment variables.

-    const discordClientKey = '8dyfuiRyq=vVc3RRr_edRk-fK__JItpZ';
+    const discordClientKey = process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_KEY || 'test-key-placeholder';
📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In sampleReact.jsx at line 8, the Discord client secret is hardcoded, which is a
security risk. Replace the hardcoded secret with a placeholder string or
retrieve it from environment variables using process.env to avoid exposing
sensitive information in the codebase.

⚠️ Potential issue

Missing function definition.

The TestComponent references createMarkup() but this function is not defined in the file. This will cause a runtime error.

In sampleReact.jsx around lines 1 to 4, the function createMarkup() is called
inside TestComponent but is not defined anywhere, which will cause a runtime
error. Define the createMarkup() function in the file to return an object with a
__html property containing the HTML string you want to set, for example: return
{ __html: "<p>Some HTML content</p>" }. This will ensure the
dangerouslySetInnerHTML prop receives the expected object and prevent runtime
errors.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Clarify the purpose of OkComponent.

The OkComponent returns a plain object rather than JSX, which suggests it's not actually a React component. If this is intended to demonstrate a safe pattern, consider showing a proper React component that safely handles HTML content.

 function OkComponent() {
-    // OK
-    const discordClientKey = process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_KEY || 'test-key-placeholder';
-    return {__html: 'Первый &middot; Второй'};
+    // Safe pattern: using JSX instead of dangerouslySetInnerHTML
+    return <div>Первый &middot; Второй</div>;
 }

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In sampleReact.jsx around lines 6 to 10, the function OkComponent returns a
plain object instead of JSX, so it is not a valid React component. To fix this,
refactor OkComponent to return proper JSX, for example by returning a React
element that uses dangerouslySetInnerHTML with the returned object to safely
render the HTML content. This will clarify its purpose as a React component
handling HTML safely.
