<overview>
<p>An original client IP address is retrieved from an http header (<code>X-Forwarded-For</code> or <code>X-Real-IP</code> or <code>Proxy-Client-IP</code>
etc.), which is used to ensure security. Attackers can forge the value of these identifiers to
bypass a ban-list, for example.</p>

</overview>
<recommendation>

<p>Do not trust the values of HTTP headers allegedly identifying the originating IP. If you are aware your application will run behind some reverse proxies then the last entry of a <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> header value may be more trustworthy than the rest of it because some reverse proxies append the IP address they observed to the end of any remote-supplied header.</p>

</recommendation>
<example>

<p>The following examples show the bad case and the good case respectively.
In <code>Bad1</code> method and <code>Bad2</code> method, the client ip the <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> is split into comma-separated values, but the less-trustworthy first one is used. Both of these examples could be deceived by providing a forged HTTP header. The method
<code>Good1</code> similarly splits an <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> value, but uses the last, more-trustworthy entry.</p>

So shouldn't it be xHeader that is the source in this case, and not the method call itself?

Presumably this should be the same attribute? So introduce a new Attribute a variable and change to

a = p.getAnAttribute() and
a.getType().hasQualifiedName("Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.FromHeaderAttribute") and
a.getNamedArgument("Name").(StringLiteral).getValue().toLowerCase() = clientIpParameterName()

clientIpParameterName() and
