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With Dependabot version updates, when Dependabot identifies an outdated dependency, it raises a pull request to update the manifest to the latest version of the dependency.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