Detector::Python::Cli

Inherits Detector < Reference < Object

Detects Python command-line applications: programs that parse argv via argparse / getopt or a CLI framework (click, typer, fire, docopt, absl-py flags, Cleo). Gates the Python CLI analyzer, which surfaces the argv / option / env attack surface as cli:// endpoints.

Detection is intentionally import-anchored. A bare import sys (sys.argv) is far too common to treat as CLI evidence on its own, so it is only honored inside the analyzer when paired with a __main__ guard.

Instance methods

applicable?(filename : String) : Bool

Cheap filename-only filter the detector pass uses to skip detect on files the detector cannot possibly match. The default true preserves prior behavior (every detector runs on every file). Override with the same predicate the body of detect starts with — e.g., filename.ends_with?(".py") for a Python framework detector — so the detector loop avoids the detect dispatch on files outside the detector's language.

On large codebases (saleor's 4255 .py files) this lifts ~100 virtual detect calls per file out of the hot loop because most detectors' inner first-line is exactly this kind of cheap filename check.
