Enhance Security and provide Alerts with OSS-Fuzz for Continuous Fuzz Testing

[Shivam7-1]

Hii Team
I’d like to propose integrating grass-addons with OSS-Fuzz continuous fuzz testing platform designed to improve the stability and security of open-source projects.

Why Integrate grass-addons with OSS-Fuzz?

Improved Stability: OSS-Fuzz can automatically detect edge-case bugs, crashes, and security vulnerabilities in grass-addons codebase.
Enhanced Reliability: Continuous fuzzing ensures that untrusted inputs, such as data from sensors, communication protocols, or user-defined configurations, are handled robustly.
Proactive Bug Fixes: By identifying potential issues early, OSS-Fuzz helps maintain a stable and secure codebase.

Can Team give Approval so I will create PR?

To have OSS-Fuzz for GRASS GIS (addons) might be a relevant addition. GDAL already uses it for a while, see blog article and stats at introspector.

I would suggest implementing a fuzz test for a single addon, as a proof of concept.

I imagine fuzzing would ultimately be more useful for C library code that parses user input for example. Addons that only process by calling other functions might be harder to evaluate.

Hii
Thanks For your Response
I will Create Initial Integration as Just like GDAL has been integrated
So for this Can I just get the email of maintainer to add at .yaml file and other contributors ?

Thanks

Hii Team

I will be starting initial integration at oss fuzz but to ensure the development of effective fuzz targets, I seek your guidance on the following:
What function should I have been tested in fuzz_target file for grass-addons

1. Critical Functions: Could you identify specific functions or modules within the addons that would benefit most from fuzz testing?

2. Existing Tests: Are there existing unit tests or test cases that could serve as a foundation for creating fuzz targets?
   Or Else Could Team Create Fuzz_Target file code ?
