The Snyk Code team has removed a Ruby email rule from its platform, citing that it produced more noise than useful findings and was often ignored or not addressed by users. This change aims to reduce low-priority issues related to hardcoded emails in Ruby code, but the tool still offers other security features, such as identifying misused credentials or passwords. The Snyk Code team balances soundness and completeness in its rules, using machine learning and usage data from the app to optimize and adapt to changing environments, new issue types, and varying best practices. This change is part of the ongoing effort to continuously improve the product based on user feedback and suggestions.
