The next vulnerabilities should be discovered in this sections:
  • VULN-FLASK-SECRETS
⚙️Gitleaks setup
If you didn't set up the static-analysis profile's infrastructure, please do so by running the command docker-compose --profile static-analysis up.

Use docker exec --interactive --tty static-analysers bash to enter the container where the CLI application is contained.
⚙️Coder setup
If you didn't set up the static-analysis profile's infrastructure, please do so by running the command docker-compose --profile static-analysis up.

Steps​

Scanning for leaked secrets​

  1. Create a Gitleaks command to check the repository for leaked secrets and dump the warnings in a SARIF file, /root/analysis/gitleaks.sarif.
  2. Find a way to redact the secrets in the Gitleaks output.
  3. For each warning produced by Gitleaks, check if it is valid by using git. Use the Coder instance in the Docker infrastructure to review the results.

Defining custom formats for secrets​

  1. For all unidentified secrets from the codebase, create a custom Regex rule in a Gitleak configuration file, /root/analysis/gitleaks.toml.
  2. Find the configuration aspect that should be set to also keep the previously detected results.

Creating a baseline​

  1. Adapt the command created in the first section to output in the JSON file in /root/analysis/gitleaks.baseline.json.
  2. Find the Gitleaks configuration to use the created JSON file as a baseline. The newly created SARIF output, /root/analysis/gitleaks.diff.sarif, file shouldn't contain any warnings.
  3. Include a new secret in the code and run the previous command again. Was the secret found?
