This project does not seem to handle request data directly as such no vulnerable execution paths were found.

  Cross-Site Scripting
Cross-Site Scripting enables an attacker to inject code into the response of a web-request that is viewed by other users. It can for example be used to bypass access controls, or even to take over other users' accounts.
  File Exposure
File Exposure allows an attacker to gain access to local files that he should not be able to access. These files can for example include database credentials, or other configuration files.
  File Manipulation
File Manipulation enables an attacker to write custom data to files. This potentially leads to injection of arbitrary code on the server.
  Object Injection
Object Injection enables an attacker to inject an object into PHP code, and can lead to arbitrary code execution, file exposure, or file manipulation attacks.
  Code Injection
Code Injection enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server.
  Response Splitting
Response Splitting can be used to send arbitrary responses.
  File Inclusion
File Inclusion enables an attacker to inject custom files into PHP's file loading mechanism, either explicitly passed to include, or for example via PHP's auto-loading mechanism.
  Command Injection
Command Injection enables an attacker to inject a shell command that is execute with the privileges of the web-server. This can be used to expose sensitive data, or gain access of your server.
  SQL Injection
SQL Injection enables an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL code on your database server gaining access to user data, or manipulating user data.
  XPath Injection
XPath Injection enables an attacker to modify the parts of XML document that are read. If that XML document is for example used for authentication, this can lead to further vulnerabilities similar to SQL Injection.
  LDAP Injection
LDAP Injection enables an attacker to inject LDAP statements potentially granting permission to run unauthorized queries, or modify content inside the LDAP tree.
  Header Injection
  Other Vulnerability
This category comprises other attack vectors such as manipulating the PHP runtime, loading custom extensions, freezing the runtime, or similar.
  Regex Injection
Regex Injection enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code in your PHP process.
  XML Injection
XML Injection enables an attacker to read files on your local filesystem including configuration files, or can be abused to freeze your web-server process.
  Variable Injection
Variable Injection enables an attacker to overwrite program variables with custom data, and can lead to further vulnerabilities.

It is generally recommended to explicitly declare the visibility for methods.

Adding explicit visibility (private, protected, or public) is generally recommend to communicate to other developers how, and from where this method is intended to be used.

The property taskTransformer does not seem to exist. Did you mean taskTranformer?

An attempt at access to an undefined property has been detected. This may either be a typographical error or the property has been renamed but there are still references to its old name.

If you really want to allow access to undefined properties, you can define magic methods to allow access. See the php core documentation on Overloading.

Unused Code Comprehensibility introduced by
75% of this comment could be valid code. Did you maybe forget this after debugging?

Sometimes obsolete code just ends up commented out instead of removed. In this case it is better to remove the code once you have checked you do not need it.

The code might also have been commented out for debugging purposes. In this case it is vital that someone uncomments it again or your project may behave in very unexpected ways in production.

This check looks for comments that seem to be mostly valid code and reports them.

There is no parameter named $request. Was it maybe removed?

This check looks for PHPDoc comments describing methods or function parameters that do not exist on the corresponding method or function.

Consider the following example. The parameter $italy is not defined by the method finale(...).

/**
 * @param array $germany
 * @param array $island
 * @param array $italy
 */
function finale($germany, $island) {
    return "2:1";
}

The most likely cause is that the parameter was removed, but the annotation was not.

Comprehensibility Best Practice introduced by
Using logical operators such as or instead of || is generally not recommended.

PHP has two types of connecting operators (logical operators, and boolean operators):

  Logical Operators Boolean Operator
AND - meaning and &&
OR - meaning or ||

The difference between these is the order in which they are executed. In most cases, you would want to use a boolean operator like &&, or ||.

Let’s take a look at a few examples:

// Logical operators have lower precedence:
$f = false or true;

// is executed like this:
($f = false) or true;


// Boolean operators have higher precedence:
$f = false || true;

// is executed like this:
$f = (false || true);

Logical Operators are used for Control-Flow

One case where you explicitly want to use logical operators is for control-flow such as this:

$x === 5
    or die('$x must be 5.');

// Instead of
if ($x !== 5) {
    die('$x must be 5.');
}

Since die introduces problems of its own, f.e. it makes our code hardly testable, and prevents any kind of more sophisticated error handling; you probably do not want to use this in real-world code. Unfortunately, logical operators cannot be combined with throw at this point:

// The following is currently a parse error.
$x === 5
    or throw new RuntimeException('$x must be 5.');

These limitations lead to logical operators rarely being of use in current PHP code.

This method seems to be duplicated in your project.

Duplicated code is one of the most pungent code smells. If you need to duplicate the same code in three or more different places, we strongly encourage you to look into extracting the code into a single class or operation.

You can also find more detailed suggestions in the “Code” section of your repository.

Bug Best Practice introduced by
The return type of return $this->respondNot...'Task does not exist'); (Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse) is incompatible with the return type documented by App\Http\Controllers\TaskController::show of type Illuminate\Http\Response.

If you return a value from a function or method, it should be a sub-type of the type that is given by the parent type f.e. an interface, or abstract method. This is more formally defined by the Lizkov substitution principle, and guarantees that classes that depend on the parent type can use any instance of a child type interchangably. This principle also belongs to the SOLID principles for object oriented design.

Let’s take a look at an example:

class Author {
    private $name;

    public function __construct($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getName() {
        return $this->name;
    }
}

abstract class Post {
    public function getAuthor() {
        return 'Johannes';
    }
}

class BlogPost extends Post {
    public function getAuthor() {
        return new Author('Johannes');
    }
}

class ForumPost extends Post { /* ... */ }

function my_function(Post $post) {
    echo strtoupper($post->getAuthor());
}

Our function my_function expects a Post object, and outputs the author of the post. The base class Post returns a simple string and outputting a simple string will work just fine. However, the child class BlogPost which is a sub-type of Post instead decided to return an object, and is therefore violating the SOLID principles. If a BlogPost were passed to my_function, PHP would not complain, but ultimately fail when executing the strtoupper call in its body.
