SecureStack Application Composition Analysis GitHub Action

A GitHub Action to execute SecureStack application composition analysis on an application code repository. When you add this to GitHub Actions we will analyze your source code for vulnerable third party and open source libraries. It's like "software composition analysis" but only better! This Action supports Go, Python and Javascript languages. See below for what types of issues this action scans for and what files are required.

    steps:
      - name: Checkout repo for running code analysis within workflow
        id: checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2.4.0

          securestack_app_id: ${{ secrets.SECURESTACK_APP_ID }}
          severity: critical
          language: node

NOTE - to understand possible values for the action input flags, run the SecureStack cli locally:

$ bloodhound-cli code --help

ADDITIONAL NOTE - Make sure you change the language: node to whatever language is in your repo. SecureStack supports 4 types currently: node, yarn, python and go. To learn more run the SecureStack CLI locally:

$ bloodhound-cli code -t --help

Create your SecureStack API Key as GitHub Secret

1. Create a SecureStack account using your GitHub credentials. You get 20 scans for free and you don't need to add a credit card.
2. Once you are logged in go to "Profile" in the black drawer on the left, and then -> GENERATE KEY tab.
3. Generate an API key and copy the value.
4. Go to Settings for your GitHub repository and click on Secrets -> Actions at the bottom left.
5. Create a new secret named SECURESTACK_API_KEY and paste the value from step 2 into the field.

Retreiving your SecureStack Application ID

1. Log in to SecureStack.
2. Open the application you wish to analyse. If you haven't created a managed application you can follow the directions in this VIDEO to create one.
3. Copy the value of the application id on the View Application screen.
4. Go to Settings for your GitHub repository and click on Secrets -> Actions at the bottom left.
5. Create a new secret named SECURESTACK_APP_ID and paste the value from step 3 into the field.
