What does this PR do?

Adds new exclusions for the header injection vulnerability in order to reduce false positives:

  • Transfer-Encoding/Content-Encoding: when sources come from Accept-Encoding
  • Pragma: when sources come from Cache-Control

Motivation

Reduce false positives in header injection vulnerability detections

Additional Notes

Previously, the set-cookie header exclusion checked that the source of the range was both the value of a cookie and the name of a cookie. Since cookie names are not being tainted, this check has been removed.

vary header should be ignored if the tainted portion is composed only from request header names, but since header names are not being tainted, this check has not been implemented.

Cookies names are not being tainted, so no need to check ranges comes from this source.

I think that you are not testing what you want to test here.
In these type of tests, the rewriter is not modifying the code that is going to be executed, so in split(',') you will loose the tainted string.
Maybe, if you export this controller function to other file, move that file to tmp dir and require the new file in the test, it will work as expected.

We are doing it in some tests they need a rewriter, for example: https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-js/blob/master/packages/dd-trace/test/appsec/iast/analyzers/hardcoded-password-analyzer.spec.js#L108
