Checking my understanding: when you take a reference &foo you get data flow from f to the ReferenceContent of &f and you get taint flow from f to &f without content?

What sorts of cases do we need the contentless taint flow for?

Yes, that is right. I added the taint flow to support this line in the SQL injection test:

let unsafe_query_1 = String::from("SELECT * FROM people WHERE firstname='") + &remote_string + "'";

Here remote_string is tainted, and the extra taint step makes unsafe_query_1 tainted at well. One could argue that the reference itself isn't really tainted, but on the other hand the only thing it can be used for is access tainted data and it seemed like a simple way to unlock some additional flow. Alternatively, we could also extend the handling of + to read ReferenceContent as well?

My intuition is that having + read the ReferenceContent is more accurate but ... I'm worried this will be a can of worms if we got this way. So I guess we should probably leave it the way it is.

@hvitved do you have an opinion on this?

Modelling store steps as also taint steps has proven bad in the past, so I think it would be better to provide a taint flow summary for + which pops ReferenceContent.

What would be the best way to do that for a built-in operator?

I still think we should revert this.

Re. this, we also do that right now for arrays (which was inspired by Ruby). Do we want to remove that as well (later)?

Hopefully we only add taint steps for reads out of arrays, and not for stores into arrays?

Yes, that's right. Got it, taint steps for read steps are fine, but taint steps for store steps are not.

I think it may be better to only consider these reads for the SSA library. Should be enough to change certain = false to certain = true here.

Done. I had to also handle RefExpr in variableReadActual.

not this = any(CompoundAssignmentExpr cae).getLhs()

I believe it should be ReturnValue.Variant[crate::result::Result::Ok(0)].

All these taint models should not be needed after altering the summary above.

I've moved one of them. But some of our sources specify taint on the entire Result, so I think I'd be fine to keep the others until that is no longer the case.

I'd rather that we remove these lines, and not have flow for now, we should soon be able to have it once #18298 lands. Otherwise I fear we forget to remove these lines.
