# This check reports +ActiveRecord+ models that specify +attr_protected+. Like +attr_accessible+, +attr_protected+ is a helper to secure
# +ActiveRecord+ models against mass assignment attacks (see http://guides.rubyonrails.org/security.html#mass-assignment), but instead of
# specifying a white list of properties that are writeable by mass assignments as +attr_accessible+ does, +attr_protected+ specifies a black
# list. Such a black list approach is usually less secure since the list has to be updated for every new property that is introduced, which
# is easy to forget.
#
# ==== Applies to
#
# * +ActiveRecord+ models
