Kusari Analysis Results:

While dependency analysis shows no security concerns with pinned versions or exposed secrets, code analysis identified a medium severity nil pointer dereference vulnerability in cmd/goose/github.go at line 212 that could lead to runtime panics. This poses a potential denial of service risk that should be addressed before merging. The issue has a clear mitigation path with enhanced error handling and additional safety checks for response pointer dereferencing.

Required Code Mitigations

Add additional safety checks before dereferencing the response pointer to prevent potential nil pointer panics

• Location: cmd/goose/github.go:212

• Potential Code Fix:

if retryErr != nil {
			// Enhanced error handling with specific cases
			if resp != nil && *resp != nil {
				const (
					httpStatusUnauthorized  = 401
					httpStatusForbidden     = 403
					httpStatusUnprocessable = 422
				)
				switch (*resp).StatusCode {
