Milestone 5: Advanced Security (SAST/SCA)

Status: 📅 PLANNED
Target: Q3 2025
Duration: 3 weeks
Total Effort: 23-29 hours

Overview

Industry-standard security scanning across all programming languages with custom rule support.

Goals

✅ 95%+ vulnerability detection rate
✅ Support for 5+ programming languages
✅ Custom rules for organization-specific patterns
✅ Policy-based PR blocking

Features

1. Semgrep Integration (Multi-language SAST) ⭐

Priority: VERY HIGH
Effort: 6-8 hours
Value: VERY HIGH

Description:
Polyglot security scanning for JavaScript, Go, Java, Python, Ruby, and more.

Features:

Run semgrep --config=p/security-audit
Support for 20+ languages
Custom rule definitions
OWASP Top 10 coverage
Integration with existing review

Languages Supported:

JavaScript/TypeScript
Python
Java
Go
Ruby
PHP
C/C++
And more...

2. Trivy Integration (Container Security)

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 5-6 hours
Value: HIGH

Description:
Scan Dockerfiles and container images for vulnerabilities.

Features:

Scan Dockerfiles in PRs
Detect vulnerable base images
Flag outdated dependencies in containers
Suggest secure alternatives

Output Example:

**Container Security Scan:**

⚠️ **Dockerfile Vulnerabilities:**
- Base image `ubuntu:18.04` has 23 HIGH severity CVEs
- Recommended: `ubuntu:22.04` (0 known vulnerabilities)

**Dependencies in Container:**
- curl 7.58.0 → CVE-2023-XXXXX
- openssl 1.1.1 → Multiple CVEs

3. Custom Security Rules Engine

Priority: HIGH
Effort: 8-10 hours
Value: HIGH

Description:
YAML-based custom rule definitions for organization-specific security patterns.

Features:

Define custom security rules in YAML
Organization-specific patterns
Industry-specific compliance (HIPAA, PCI-DSS)
Rule sharing across teams

Example Rule:

rules:
  - id: CUSTOM-001
    name: "Internal API Key Format"
    pattern: 'INTERNAL_KEY_[A-Z0-9]{32}'
    severity: HIGH
    description: "Internal API key detected"
    recommendation: "Use environment variables"

4. Security Policy Enforcement

Priority: MEDIUM
Effort: 4-5 hours
Value: MEDIUM

Description:
Block PRs based on security policies and compliance requirements.

Features:

Define security policies in config
Block PRs with HIGH severity issues
Require security review for certain changes
Compliance checkpoints

Success Metrics

95%+ vulnerability detection rate
Support 5+ programming languages
Custom rules for 3+ organization patterns
Zero critical vulnerabilities in production
Policy compliance rate 100%
