Enum Severity 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Severity {
    Info,
    Low,
    Medium,
    High,
    Critical,
}

Severity of a security finding.

Ordered from least to most severe. Supports comparison: Severity::Critical > Severity::High is true.

Examples

use secfinding::Severity;

assert!(Severity::Critical > Severity::High);
assert_eq!(Severity::try_from("medium"), Ok(Severity::Medium));

Thread Safety

Severity is Send and Sync.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Info

Informational - no security impact, useful context. Default so structs that derive Default and contain a Severity field get the safest possible initial classification: do-no-harm, no escalation pressure.

Low

Low - minor issue, unlikely to be exploitable alone.

Medium

Medium - real risk, exploitable under certain conditions.

High

High - serious vulnerability, likely exploitable.

Critical

Critical - immediate risk, trivially exploitable.

Implementations

impl Severity

pub fn from_str_loose(s: &str) -> Option<Severity>

Parse from a case-insensitive string.

Returns None for unrecognized values.

pub fn label(self) -> &'static str

Short label for terminal output.

pub fn sarif_level(self) -> &'static str

SARIF level string.

pub fn meets(self, minimum: Severity) -> bool

true when self is at or above the supplied minimum threshold. The shared “min-severity gate” semantic every scanner CLI implements (--min-severity high); kept here so every consumer agrees on the comparison direction without each crate re-implementing it (those re-implementations flipped Info between lowest and highest, which is the correctness bug behind the consolidation audit).

use secfinding::Severity;
assert!(Severity::Critical.meets(Severity::High));
assert!(!Severity::Low.meets(Severity::High));
assert!(Severity::High.meets(Severity::High));
