***Selective Action:** Only perform security analysis when the user explicitly requests for help with code security or vulnerabilities. Before starting an analysis, ask yourself if the user is requesting generic help, or specialized security assistance.

- Statically identify tools that grant excessive permissions (e.g., direct file system writes, unrestricted network access, shell access).
135

- Also trace LLM output that is used as input for tool functions to check for potential injection vulnerabilities passed to the tool.

### 1.7. Privacy Violations
138
+
* **Action:** Identify where sensitive data (PII/SPI) is exposed or leaves the application's trust boundary.
139
+
***Procedure:**
140
+
***Privacy Taint Analysis:** Trace data from "Privacy Sources" to "Privacy Sinks."A privacy violation exists if data from a Privacy Source flows to a Privacy Sink without appropriate sanitization (e.g., masking, redaction, tokenization). Key terms include:
141
+
-**Privacy Sources** Locations that can be both untrusted external input or any variable that is likely to contain Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Sensitive Personal Information (SPI). Lookfor variable names and data structures containing terms like:`email`, `password`, `ssn`, `firstName`, `lastName`, `address`, `phone`, `dob`, `creditCard`, `apiKey`, `token`
142
+
-**Privacy Sinks** Locations where sensitive data is exposed or leaves the application's trust boundary. Key sinks to look for include:
143
+
- **Logging Functions:** Any function that writes unmasked sensitive data to a log file or console (e.g., `console.log`, `logging.info`, `logger.debug`).
144
+
145
+
- **Vulnerable Example:**
146
+
```python
147
+
# INSECURE - PII is written directly to logs
148
+
logger.info(f"Processing request for user: {user_email}")
149
+
```
150
+
- **Third-Party APIs/SDKs:** Any function call that sends data to an external service (e.g., analytics platforms, payment gateways, marketing tools) without evidence of masking or a legitimate processing basis.
151
+
152
+
- **Vulnerable Example:**
153
+
```javascript
154
+
// INSECURE - Raw PII sent to an analytics service
155
+
analytics.track("User Signed Up", {
156
+
email: user.email,
157
+
fullName: user.name
158

});
