## Summary
6+
7+
Total links checked: **110**
8+
- ✅ Functional links: **73**
9+
- ⚠️ Redirects: **0**
10+
- ❌ Broken links: **5** (verified broken)
11+
- 🔌 Connection errors: **32** (may be due to network restrictions)
12+
13+
## Verified Broken Links (Action Required)
14+
15+
These links return 404 errors or are malformed and need to be fixed:
16+
17+
### 1. GitHub Repository Not Found (404)
18+
**File:** `README.md` (line 91)
19+
**URL:** https://github.com/github/codeql-development-mcp-server
20+
**Status:** 404 Not Found
21+
**Issue:** This repository does not exist or has been moved/deleted.
22+
**Action:** Verify if the repository was renamed or moved, or remove this link.
23+
24+
### 2. Octodemo Repository File Not Found (404)
25+
**File:** `README.md` (line 156)
26+
**URL:** https://github.com/octodemo/vulnerable-pickle-app/blob/main/custom-queries/python/dangerous-functions.ql
27+
**Status:** 404 Not Found
28+
**Issue:** This file path does not exist in the repository.
29+
**Action:** Verify the correct path to the file or remove this link.
30+
31+
### 3. GitHub Docs Link Not Found (404)
32+
**File:** `SECURITY.md` (line 31)
33+
**URL:** https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-bug-bounty-program-legal-safe-harbor#1-safe-harbor-terms
34+
**Status:** 404 Not Found
35+
**Issue:** This documentation page does not exist or has been moved.
36+
**Action:** Update to the correct URL: `https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/security-policies/github-bug-bounty-program-legal-safe-harbor`
37+
38+
### 4. Relative Link Without Scheme
39+
**File:** `CONTRIBUTING.md` (line 4)
40+
**URL:** CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
41+
**Status:** Invalid URL
42+
**Issue:** Relative link is being treated as an absolute URL by the link checker.
43+
**Action:** These are actually valid relative links in markdown and work correctly on GitHub. Can be ignored or converted to absolute URLs if desired.
44+
45+
### 5. Relative Link Without Scheme
46+
**File:** `README.md` (line 192)
47+
**URL:** CONTRIBUTING.md
48+
**Status:** Invalid URL
49+
**Issue:** Relative link is being treated as an absolute URL by the link checker.
50+
**Action:** These are actually valid relative links in markdown and work correctly on GitHub. Can be ignored or converted to absolute URLs if desired.
51+
52+
## Connection Errors (Informational)
53+
54+
The following 32 links could not be verified due to network connectivity issues in the test environment. These may be functional in a normal environment:
55+
56+
- awesome.re (2 links)
57+
- codeql.github.com (7 links)
58+
- github.blog (4 links)
59+
- youtube.com (6 links)
60+
- contributor-covenant.org (3 links)
61+
- Various other external sites (10 links)
62+
63+
**Note:** Connection errors are common in sandboxed environments and do not necessarily indicate broken links. Manual verification may be required.
64+
65+
## Recommendations
66+
67+
1. **Fix the 3 confirmed 404 errors** in README.md and SECURITY.md by:
68+
- Removing the links if the resources no longer exist
69+
- Updating to the correct URLs if they have moved
70+
71+
2. **Relative links** in CONTRIBUTING.md and README.md are technically valid for GitHub markdown and can be left as-is.
72+
73+
3. **Monitor external links** periodically as they may change over time.
74+
75+
## How to Re-run This Check
76+
77+
```bash
78+
python3 check_links.py
79+
```
80+
81+
The detailed results are saved in `link_check_results.json`.
