About GitHub 预设
The Dismiss low impact issues for development-scoped dependencies rule is a GitHub preset that auto-dismisses certain types of vulnerabilities that are found in npm dependencies used in development. These alerts cover cases that feel like false alarms to most developers as the associated vulnerabilities:
- Are unlikely to be exploitable in a developer (non-production or runtime) environment.
- May relate to resource management, programming and logic, and information disclosure issues.
- At worst, have limited effects like slow builds or long-running tests.
- Are not indicative of issues in production.
注意
Automatic dismissal of low impact development alerts is currently only supported for npm.
The Dismiss low impact issues for development-scoped dependencies rule includes vulnerabilities relating to resource management, programming and logic, and information disclosure issues. For more information, see Publicly disclosed CWEs used by the Dismiss low impact issues for development-scoped dependencies rule.
Filtering out these low impact alerts allows you to focus on alerts that matter to you, without having to worry about missing potentially high-risk development-scoped alerts.
The Dismiss low impact issues for development-scoped dependencies rule is enabled by default on public repositories and disabled for private repositories. Administrators of private repositories can opt in by enabling the rule for their repository.
