It runs on: - Pull requests to the main branch - Weekly scheduled scans - Direct pushes to the main branch This workflow ensures that vulnerabilities are detected early in the development process, with additional scheduled scans to catch issues that might emerge due to new vulnerability patterns. ### 📦 Dependency Review The dependency review workflow scans dependency manifest changes in pull requests to identify potentially vulnerable packages: - Runs automatically on all pull requests - Provides PR comments with findings - Helps prevent introducing new vulnerabilities ### ⭐ Scorecard Analysis The Scorecard workflow evaluates the project against OSSF security best practices: - Branch protection rules validation - Dependency management practices assessment - Code signing verification - Supply chain security adherence Results are uploaded to GitHub's code scanning dashboard for easy visibility and tracking. ## 🏷️ PR Labeler Workflow This workflow automatically applies labels to pull requests based on configured rules: ```mermaid flowchart LR A[Pull Request] --> B[Checkout Code] B --> C[Run Labeler] C --> D{File Pattern Match} D -->|Documentation changes| E1[Label: documentation] D -->|CI workflow changes| E2[Label: ci] D -->|Core code changes| E3[Label: core] D -->|UI changes| E4[Label: ui] D -->|Testing changes| E5[Label: testing] %% Enhanced styling classDef pr fill:#bbdefb,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef process fill:#a0c8e0,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef decision fill:#d1c4e9,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef label fill:#c8e6c9,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black class A pr class B,C process class D decision class E1,E2,E3,E4,E5 label ``` ## 📊 CI/CD Configuration Details The GitHub Actions workflows use several key configuration patterns: 1. **Hardened Runner Security**: Step Security's harden-runner is used to secure CI/CD pipelines 2. **Egress Policies**: Control outbound network connections from workflows 3. **Explicit Permissions**: Limited, specific permissions for each workflow 4. **Dependency Caching**: Optimizes build times by caching dependencies 5. **Comprehensive Attestations**: SLSA provenance and SBOM attestations for security ## JDK Configuration The project's workflows are configured to use JDK 21 for building and testing: ```mermaid graph TD A[JDK Configuration] --> B[Java 21] B --> C[Temurin Distribution] C --> D[Maven Build] D --> E[Compatibility with Spring] E --> F[End-of-Life Planning] %% Enhanced styling classDef jdk fill:#a0c8e0,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef build fill:#c8e6c9,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef planning fill:#ffecb3,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black class A,B,C jdk class D,E build class F planning ``` For details on JDK compatibility planning, see the [End-of-Life Strategy](End-of-Life-Strategy.md). ## 🔐 Security Hardening in Workflows All workflows include security hardening features: ```mermaid flowchart TD A[Security Hardening] --> B[Harden Runner] B --> C{Egress Policy} C -->|Audit| D1[Log Outbound Calls] C -->|Block| D2[Allow Only Listed Endpoints] B --> E[Limited Permissions] E --> F[Principle of Least Privilege] A --> G[Dependency Scanning] G --> H[CodeQL] H --> I[Vulnerability Detection] A --> J[Artifact Attestation] J --> K[SLSA Provenance] K --> L[Supply Chain Security] %% Enhanced styling classDef main fill:#a0c8e0,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef runner fill:#c8e6c9,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef policy fill:#d1c4e9,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef security fill:#ffccbc,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black classDef attest fill:#ffecb3,stroke:#333,stroke-width:1.5px,color:black class A main class B,C,D1,D2 runner class E,F policy class G,H,I security class J,K,L attest ``` ## 🚀 Deployment Process ### Release Workflow Overview The release process is triggered manually via workflow dispatch with version input: ```mermaid flowchart TD Start[Manual Release Trigger] --> Input[Version Input] Input --> Branch[Create Release Branch] Branch --> Version[Set Maven Version] Version --> Commit[Auto-commit Changes] Commit --> Tag[Create Git Tag] Tag --> Build[Maven Build] Build --> Package[Generate Artifacts] Package --> Attest[Generate Attestations] Attest --> SBOM[Generate SBOMs] SBOM --> Notes[Draft Release Notes] Notes --> Release[Create GitHub Release] Release --> Publish[Publish Artifacts] Publish --> End[Release Complete] style Start fill:#bbdefb style Build fill:#c8e6c9 style Attest fill:#d1c4e9 style SBOM fill:#d1c4e9 style Release fill:#a5d6a7 style End fill:#a5d6a7 ``` ### Deployment Gates **Pre-Deployment Checks:** -
