Elixir Security Review

Quick Reference

Issue Type Reference
Code.eval_string, binary_to_term references/code-injection.md
String.to_atom dangers references/atom-exhaustion.md
Config, environment variables references/secrets.md
ETS visibility, process dictionary references/process-exposure.md

Review Checklist

Critical (Block Merge)

  • No Code.eval_string/1 on user input
  • No :erlang.binary_to_term/1 without :safe on untrusted data
  • No String.to_atom/1 on external input
  • No hardcoded secrets in source code

Major

  • ETS tables use appropriate access controls
  • No sensitive data in process dictionary
  • No dynamic module creation from user input
  • Path traversal prevented in file operations

Configuration

  • Secrets loaded from environment
  • No secrets in config/*.exs committed to git
  • Runtime config used for deployment secrets

Valid Patterns (Do NOT Flag)

  • String.to_atom on compile-time constants - Atoms created at compile time are safe
  • Code.eval_string in dev/test - May be needed for tooling
  • ETS :public tables - Valid when intentionally shared
  • binary_to_term with :safe - Explicitly safe option used

Context-Sensitive Rules

Issue Flag ONLY IF
String.to_atom Input comes from external source (user, API, file)
binary_to_term Data comes from untrusted source
ETS :public Contains sensitive data
