high Security checks quality Quality conf 1.00 ✓ Repobility 16 occurrences `self.result` used but never assigned in __init__

Method `update` of class `QueryNotifyPrint` reads `self.result`, but no assignment to it exists in __init__ (and no class-level fallback). This raises AttributeError the first time the method runs against an instance.

`FROM sherlock/sherlock (no tag)` resolves the tag at build time. The registry CAN re-push a different image for the same tag, so every build is potentially different. Production images should pin to `image@sha256:...` for reproducibility + supply-chain integrity.

high Security checks quality Quality conf 0.72 Agent control bridge may listen on a network interface without visible auth

Agent, MCP, sidecar, and command bridge servers often start as local helpers. Binding them to 0.0.0.0 or a default all-interface listener without an authorization guard can expose tool execution or session data to the LAN.

This handler catches Exception/BaseException. It is actionable when it swallows errors without logging, re-raising, or returning a structured error. Handlers that intentionally convert exceptions into typed error results should not be treated as high risk.
