Enhance CI/CD Security Pipeline with Comprehensive Security Scanning

Summary

This PR significantly enhances the CI/CD security posture by implementing comprehensive security scanning, deployment gates, and monitoring capabilities across the GitHub Actions workflows.

Key additions:

  • SBOM generation in CycloneDX format for compliance tracking
  • Container image scanning with Trivy (blocks on CRITICAL vulnerabilities)
  • CodeQL SAST analysis for JavaScript/TypeScript with custom security checks
  • Security gates requiring scans to pass before deployment
  • Manual approval step via GitHub environment for production deployments
  • Rollback mechanism for failed health checks
  • OIDC authentication support with fallback to access keys
  • Image signing with Cosign
  • License compliance scanning
  • CIS Docker Benchmark verification
  • AWS Security Hub integration for CVE monitoring

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Verify rollback mechanism: The rollback job checks needs.deploy.outputs.deployment_status == 'failed' but deployment_status output may not be properly set in the deploy job. Check if rollback will actually trigger on failures.

  • Configure GitHub environment: The security-approval job uses environment: production which requires manual setup in repository Settings > Environments. Without this, deployments will be blocked.

  • Verify AWS secrets: If using OIDC auth, ensure AWS_ROLE_ARN secret is configured. The fallback to access keys uses continue-on-error: true which could mask auth issues.

  • Test container scanning: The Trivy scan runs on a local image before ECR push. Verify the image-ref format ${{ steps.login-ecr.outputs.registry }}/${{ env.ECR_REPOSITORY }}:${{ github.sha }} resolves correctly for local images.

  • Review license scanning behavior: license-checker --failOn "GPL;AGPL;LGPL;SSPL" will fail if any dependency uses these licenses. Confirm this is the desired behavior.

Recommended test plan:

  1. Create a test PR to trigger the security-scan and codeql workflows
  2. Manually trigger the deploy workflow with skip_security_scan: true to test the deployment path
  3. Verify artifacts (SBOM, license report, security report) are uploaded correctly
  4. Check GitHub Security tab for SARIF uploads from the various scans

Notes

These workflow changes can only be fully validated by running them in GitHub Actions. YAML syntax has been validated locally but runtime behavior requires actual execution.
