About
Open watchdog for retracted & problematic citations: Retraction Watch, OpenAlex, Crossref.
Security Report
CiteGuard is a well-designed research-integrity tool with clean architecture and proper separation of concerns. The code demonstrates good security practices: no hardcoded credentials, safe handling of environment variables for API keys, and conservative design patterns that prioritize accuracy over false positives. Minor code quality findings (broad exception handling, input validation patterns) are typical for early-stage tools and do not indicate security risks. Permissions align appropriately with the tool's purpose: network access for APIs, file I/O for caching, and environment variables for credentials are all expected for a citation-checking service. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
