[StepSecurity] Apply security best practices#50
Conversation
Signed-off-by: StepSecurity Bot <bot@stepsecurity.io>
WalkthroughThis update enhances the project's automation and security through the introduction of new GitHub Actions workflows for CodeQL analysis, dependency reviews, and supply-chain security assessment. It also implements a new Dependabot configuration for managing updates and integrates pre-commit hooks to improve code quality. These changes collectively promote safer coding practices and maintainability, ensuring the project is well-equipped to handle dependencies and potential vulnerabilities. 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. |

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With Dependabot version updates, when Dependabot identifies an outdated dependency, it raises a pull request to update the manifest to the latest version of the dependency.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.
