Description

The application lacks automated security scanning, allowing vulnerabilities to go undetected until manual review.

Recommended Tools

1. Dependency Scanning

# .github/workflows/scan-dependencies.yml
name: Scan Dependencies
on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  scan:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
      - run: npm audit --audit-level=moderate
      - uses: aquasecurity/trivy-action@master
        with:
          scan-type: 'fs'
          scan-ref: '.'
          format: 'sarif'
          output: 'trivy-results.sarif'
      - uses: github/codeql-action/analyze@v2

2. Code Security Analysis

# .github/workflows/security-analysis.yml
name: Security Analysis
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  semgrep:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: returntocorp/semgrep-action@v1
        with:
          config: auto

3. Secrets Scanning

# .github/workflows/scan-secrets.yml
name: Scan Secrets
on: [push]

jobs:
  gitleaks:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - uses: gitleaks/gitleaks-action@v2

4. TypeScript Security

// package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit",
    "audit": "npm audit --audit-level=moderate"
  }
}

Implementation Steps

1. Add dependency scanning workflow
2. Add code security scanning (Semgrep)
3. Add secrets scanning (Gitleaks)
4. Set up CodeQL analysis
5. Configure GitHub security advisories
6. Set up Dependabot alerts

Success Criteria

• All PRs are scanned for security issues
• Dependencies are automatically checked for vulnerabilities
• Secrets detection prevents commits
• Security alerts appear in GitHub Security tab
• False positives are managed
