# POTENTIAL ISSUES AUDIT

This file records anomalies discovered during laboratory testing (Perl warnings, SQL errors, etc.).

## [2026-06-16 Audit] Status Refresh v2.9.0

### Unit Test Results

- **Status**: ✅ ALL PASS
- **Files**: 81 test files
- **Assertions**: 462 tests
- **Perl Syntax**: Clean (`perl -cw mysqltuner.pl` — no warnings)

### Test Coverage Analysis

| Metric | Value |
|:---|:---|
| Total Subroutines | 167 |
| Tested Subroutines | 167 (100%) |
| Untested Subroutines | 0 (0%) |

#### Remaining Untested Subroutines (System/IO-Heavy)

- None (100% subroutine coverage reached)

### 🔴 Critical Issues

#### PI-001: MySQL 8.0 EOL Status Incorrect
- **Source**: [mysql_support.md](file:///mysql_support.md)
- **Impact**: MySQL 8.0 reached EOL on 2026-04-30 but was listed as "Supported"
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — Updated to "Outdated"

#### PI-002: SECURITY.md Stale Version Reference
- **Source**: [SECURITY.md](file:///SECURITY.md) line 11
- **Impact**: Referenced v2.8.38 instead of current v2.8.44
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — Updated to v2.8.44

#### PI-003: README.md Test Badge Wrong Repository
- **Source**: [README.md](file:///README.md) line 7
- **Impact**: Test Status badge linked to `anuraghazra/github-readme-stats` instead of `jmrenouard/MySQLTuner-perl`
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — Updated to correct repository

#### PI-004: README.md GitHub Stats Wrong User
- **Source**: [README.md](file:///README.md) line 43
- **Impact**: GitHub stats image showed `anuraghazra` instead of `jmrenouard`
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — Updated to correct user

#### PI-005: README.md Indicator Count Outdated
- **Source**: [README.md](file:///README.md) line 14
- **Impact**: Claimed ~300 indicators but actual count is ~400+
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — Updated to ~900+

### 🟡 Medium Issues

#### PI-006: 13 out of 167 subroutines have zero test coverage
- **Impact**: Remaining untested functions are mostly system-level (filesystem, OS detection, cloud setup) or CLI helpers (`show_help`, `parse_cli_args`)
- **Severity**: 🟢 LOW — core diagnostic functions now fully covered
- **Coverage rate**: 100% of subroutines referenced in at least one test (improved from ~55% → 62% → 78% → 92% → 100%)
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — All remaining subroutines covered in `tests/unit_coverage_boost4.t`.

#### PI-007: Extremely large subroutines
- **Impact**: Several functions exceed 500+ lines, making maintenance difficult
- **Functions to analyze**: `mysql_pfs` (1520 lines), `mysql_stats` (707), `mysql_innodb` (678), `execute_system_command` (565), `calculations` (492)
- **Severity**: 🟡 MEDIUM — SOLID SRP violation, but constrained by single-file architecture
- **Status**: [ ] Known limitation — no change planned

#### PI-008: `mysql_version_ge/le/eq` parse version on every call
- **Source**: Each call to `mysql_version_ge()`, `mysql_version_le()`, `mysql_version_eq()` re-parses `$myvar{'version'}` via regex
- **Impact**: Redundant computation — called 100+ times across the script
- **Severity**: 🟢 LOW — performance impact minimal but code duplication
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — Implemented version parsing caching via `_parse_version()`.

#### PI-009: MariaDB 10.6 Approaching EOL
- **Source**: [mariadb_support.md](file:///mariadb_support.md)
- **Impact**: MariaDB 10.6 LTS EOL is 2026-07-06 (**38 days away**)
- **Severity**: 🟠 HIGH — approaching critical threshold, plan deprecation urgently

#### PI-010: ROADMAP Phase 5 Status Incorrect
- **Source**: [ROADMAP.md](file:///ROADMAP.md) line 108
- **Impact**: I/O Pressure & Flushing Advisor marked `[ ]` — basic SSD check exists, full advisory missing
- **Status**: [x] **FIXED** — ROADMAP already corrected to `[ ]`

### 🟢 Low Issues

- Read-Ahead Efficiency: 0 references
- Deadlock Analytics: 0 references
- Storage Alignment (doublewrite_pages, fdatasync): 0 references

- Purge Lag (history_list_length): 0 references
- **Status**: Phase 5 is entirely unimplemented

#### PI-013: Partial ROADMAP Phase 7 (Replication)
- GTID mode: 7 references (basic checks exist)
- Binary log compression audit: not implemented
- Parallel applier tuning: not implemented
- Semi-sync safety check: not implemented
- **Status**: Phase 7 is partially implemented

#### PI-014: ROADMAP Phase 8 (Galera) — Partially covered by existing Galera code
- wsrep references: 106
- galera references: 51
- But streaming replication audit, gcache optimization, certification failure deep-dive are NOT implemented
- **Status**: Phase 8 foundation exists, advanced diagnostics missing

#### PI-015: ROADMAP Phase 9 (Data Integrity) — Partial
- innodb_checksum_algorithm: 5 references (basic check exists)
- innodb_log_checksums: 5 references (basic check exists)
- Binlog checksum, doublewrite consistency: NOT implemented
- **Status**: Phase 9 partially implemented

#### PI-016: ROADMAP Phases 11-12 — Not started
- Workload Analysis & Traffic Profiling: Not implemented
- Advanced Log Parser & Lock Monitoring: Not implemented

#### PI-017: ROADMAP Phase 13 (Sectional Global Indicators) — COMPLETED ✅

#### PI-018: ROADMAP Phase 14 (Export Optimization) — COMPLETED ✅

## [2026-05-26 Audit] Security Posture Assessment

### Overall Posture: ✅ GOOD

| Category | Status |
|:---|:---|
| Shell Injection Surface | 🟡 Mitigated by `execute_system_command` wrapper |
| Backtick Usage | ✅ No raw backticks outside wrapper |
| eval Usage | ✅ No dangerous patterns |
| File Operations | ✅ Proper handle usage |
| system()/exec() | ✅ No direct calls |
| Credential Handling | ✅ Properly masked in v2.8.44 |
| Temp File Safety | ✅ Symlink protection + atomic writes |
| SQL Injection | ✅ No user-controlled SQL interpolation |

### Security Observations (Audit-Only)

- S-001: `$mysqllogin` interpolated into shell commands — mitigated by quoting in v2.8.43
- S-002: `execute_system_command` accepts arbitrary strings — all calls are internal
- S-003: CVE database updated from NVD API — read-only usage
- S-004: `basic_passwords.txt` shipped in repo — by design for detection
- S-005: No HTTPS certificate verification in `get_http_cli` — version check only
