[StepSecurity] Apply security best practices #259
Conversation
Signed-off-by: StepSecurity Bot <[email protected]>
WalkthroughThis update enhances the project's automation and security by introducing several new GitHub Actions workflows for dependency management, code analysis, and security assessments, alongside updates to existing workflows. Additionally, a pre-commit configuration is implemented to improve code quality. These improvements aim to streamline development, enhance security practices, and ensure timely updates to dependencies, fostering a robust software development lifecycle. Changes

This pull request sets up GitHub code scanning for this repository. Once the scans have completed and the checks have passed, the analysis results for this pull request branch will appear on this overview. Once you merge this pull request, the 'Security' tab will show more code scanning analysis results (for example, for the default branch). Depending on your configuration and choice of analysis tool, future pull requests will be annotated with code scanning analysis results. For more information about GitHub code scanning, check out the documentation. |

.pre-commit-config.yaml (1)
1-14: Pre-commit configuration looks good!The configuration includes repositories for
gitleaks,golangci-lint, andpre-commit-hooks, which are well-known tools for security and code quality. The versions are pinned, which is a best practice for security..github/workflows/dependency-review.yml (1)
1-27: Dependency review workflow looks good!The workflow is well-structured and includes steps to harden the runner, check out the repository, and perform a dependency review. The versions of actions are pinned, which is a best practice for security.
.github/workflows/go.yml (3)
7-9: Permissions configuration looks good!The
permissionssection grants read access to the contents, which is a good practice for limiting access.
21-25: Harden Runner step looks good!The step uses the
step-security/harden-runneraction with anegress-policyset toaudit, which enhances security by monitoring outbound network traffic.
27-31: Pinned versions for actions look good!The versions for
setup-goandcheckoutactions are pinned to specific commits, which is a best practice for security..github/workflows/codeql.yml (4)
1-12: LGTM!The header comments provide clear guidance on the purpose and modification of the file. The workflow name is appropriately set to "CodeQL".
14-21: LGTM!The triggers are appropriately set to ensure regular and event-driven CodeQL analysis.
23-25: LGTM!The permissions are set to read contents and write security events, aligning with the principle of least privilege.
26-78: LGTM!The analyze job is well-defined and includes necessary steps for CodeQL analysis. The use of pinned dependencies enhances security.
.github/workflows/scorecards.yml (4)
1-5: LGTM!The header comments provide clear guidance on the use of third-party actions. The workflow name is appropriately set to "Scorecard supply-chain security".
6-16: LGTM!The triggers are appropriately set to ensure regular and event-driven Scorecard analysis.
17-31: LGTM!The permissions are set to read-only by default, with additional permissions granted as needed, aligning with the principle of least privilege.
20-76: LGTM!The analysis job is well-defined and includes necessary steps for Scorecard analysis. The use of pinned dependencies enhances security.

Security Fixes
Least Privileged GitHub Actions Token Permissions
The GITHUB_TOKEN is an automatically generated secret to make authenticated calls to the GitHub API. GitHub recommends setting minimum token permissions for the GITHUB_TOKEN.
Pinned Dependencies
GitHub Action tags and Docker tags are mutable. This poses a security risk. GitHub's Security Hardening guide recommends pinning actions to full length commit.
Harden Runner
Harden-Runner is an open-source security agent for the GitHub-hosted runner to prevent software supply chain attacks. It prevents exfiltration of credentials, detects tampering of source code during build, and enables running jobs without
sudoaccess.Harden runner usage

Keeping your actions up to date with Dependabot
With Dependabot version updates, when Dependabot identifies an outdated dependency, it raises a pull request to update the manifest to the latest version of the dependency. This is recommended by GitHub as well as The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF).
Detect Vulnerabilities with SAST Workflow
Static Code Analysis (also known as Source Code Analysis) is usually performed as part of a Code Review (also known as clear-box testing) and is carried out at the Implementation phase of a Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). Static Code Analysis commonly refers to the running of Static Code Analysis tools that attempt to highlight possible vulnerabilities within ‘static’ (non-running) source code by using techniques such as Taint Analysis and Data Flow Analysis.
Add Dependency Review Workflow
The Dependency Review Workflow enforces dependency reviews on your pull requests. The action scans for vulnerable versions of dependencies introduced by package version changes in pull requests, and warns you about the associated security vulnerabilities. This gives you better visibility of what's changing in a pull request, and helps prevent vulnerabilities being added to your repository.
Add OpenSSF Scorecard Workflow
OpenSSF Scorecard is an automated tool that assesses a number of important heuristics ("checks") associated with software security and assigns each check a score of 0-10. You can use these scores to understand specific areas to improve in order to strengthen the security posture of your project.
Scorecard workflow also allows maintainers to display a Scorecard badge on their repository to show off their hard work.
Maintain Code Quality with Pre-Commit
Pre-commit is a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks. Hooks can be any scripts, code, or binaries that run at any stage of the git workflow. Pre-commit hooks are useful for enforcing code quality, code formatting, and detecting security vulnerabilities.
