Summary by Sourcery

Add a GitHub Actions workflow to perform automated Trivy and Bandit security scans on code pushes and pull requests to the main branch, including SARIF reporting and artifact uploads.

CI:

  • Create security-scan.yaml workflow triggered on pushes, pull requests, and manual dispatch
  • Add Trivy job to scan the filesystem for vulnerabilities, output SARIF results, enforce failure on critical/high issues, and upload findings to the Security tab
  • Add Bandit job to run a Python-focused security scan, generate SARIF output, and upload results as artifacts

Reviewer's Guide

Introduce a GitHub Actions workflow that runs Trivy FS scans (with enforced exit codes on critical/high vulnerabilities) and Bandit security analysis (uploading SARIF artifacts) on push, pull requests, and manual triggers.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Add Trivy-based vulnerability scanning with severity enforcement
  • Configure workflow triggers for push, pull_request, and workflow_dispatch
  • Checkout code and set up Python 3.11 environment
  • Install project dependencies if pyproject.toml is present
  • Run Trivy FS scan outputting SARIF and enforce exit on critical/high findings
  • Upload Trivy SARIF results to the Security tab
.github/workflows/security-scan.yaml
Add Bandit security scanning and SARIF artifact upload
  • Set up Python 3.11 virtual environment with pip caching
  • Install project dev dependencies and Bandit with SARIF support
  • Run PyCQA/bandit-action on the repository, excluding tests
  • Upload Bandit SARIF results as a GitHub artifact with retention
.github/workflows/security-scan.yaml

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.

Hey there - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:

Blocking issues:

  • An action sourced from a third-party repository on GitHub is not pinned to a full length commit SHA. Pinning an action to a full length commit SHA is currently the only way to use an action as an immutable release. Pinning to a particular SHA helps mitigate the risk of a bad actor adding a backdoor to the action's repository, as they would need to generate a SHA-1 collision for a valid Git object payload.

General comments:

  • Consider caching Trivy’s vulnerability database between runs (e.g. via actions/cache) to speed up subsequent scans.
  • Instead of uploading Bandit results as a generic artifact, use upload-sarif so the SARIF report shows up in GitHub’s Security tab.
  • You might consolidate the repeated Python setup and dependency-installation steps into a reusable workflow or composite action.

+        uses: actions/setup-python@v5

<issue_to_address>
Pip cache is enabled for Python setup, but not used in Trivy job.

Enable pip cache in the Trivy job to improve installation speed and maintain consistency with the Bandit job.

Suggested implementation:

```
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with:
          python-version: "3.11"
          cache: "pip"

```

If the Trivy job is defined separately from the Bandit job, make sure to apply this change to the Trivy job's `actions/setup-python` step. If you do not see a `cache: "pip"` line in the Trivy job, add it as shown above.
