function used to detect vulnerabilities TBD

detect

fn detect(&mut self, _context: &WorkspaceContext) -> Result<bool, Box<dyn Error>>

Definition:

https://github.com/Cyfrin/aderyn/blob/dev/aderyn_core/src/detect/detector.rs#L195

Evaluate the AST provided WorkspaceContext to determine if a particular code issue is present.

Parameters:

• _context: A reference to the WorkspaceContext containing the AST nodes to be analyzed.

Returns:

• Result<bool, Box<dyn Error>>:

  • Ok(true) if an issue is detected; otherwise Ok(false).

  • Err(Box<dyn Error>) if an error occurs during issue detection.

Example:

 fn detect(&mut self, context: &WorkspaceContext) -> Result<bool, Box<dyn Error>> {
        let function_definitions = context.function_definitions();
        for definition in function_definitions {
            if definition.modifiers.len() > 1 {
                for (index, modifier) in definition.modifiers.iter().enumerate() {
                    if modifier.modifier_name.name == "nonReentrant" && index != 0 {
                        capture!(self, context, modifier);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        Ok(!self.found_instances.is_empty())
    }
