Class Decoding::Range

A data-flow node that decodes data from a binary or textual format. This is intended to include deserialization, unmarshalling, decoding, unpickling, decompressing, decrypting, parsing etc.

A decoding (automatically) preserves taint from input to output. However, it can also be a problem in itself, for example if it allows code execution or could result in denial-of-service.

Extend this class to model new APIs. If you want to refine existing API models, extend Decoding instead.
