Worked on enhancing OpenAPI sanitization within the Checkmarx/kics repository by implementing new sanitizers for maximum_length_undefined queries, aiming to improve the accuracy and robustness of API query handling. The approach included adding negative unit tests to validate edge cases and prevent future regressions, ensuring higher reliability in static analysis. Refactored function naming from checkForSanitizers to checkForSecureStringFormats to clarify intent without altering logic, which improved code maintainability and traceability. Utilized skills in API security, code refactoring, and security research, leveraging Rego and YAML to deliver targeted improvements that support more precise and maintainable OpenAPI specification checks.
February 2025 – Checkmarx/kics: OpenAPI sanitization enhancements and naming refactor. Implemented new sanitizers for maximum_length_undefined OpenAPI queries and added negative tests to improve accuracy. Refactored function name from checkForSanitizers to checkForSecureStringFormats for clarity (no logic changes). Commit references: 8eb189aedb483941872ee717492d37fa0730297f; 1417b07670886391542e675a04c95f647c39af67. Business impact: stronger API query sanitization, reduced false positives/negatives, better maintainability and traceability for future improvements. Repository: Checkmarx/kics.
