Audit for GitLab

This is a small script to add a npm audit GitLab dependency scanner.
It generates a JSON audit via npm and converts it to the format that gitlab expects as dep scan report.

In case a vulnerability equal or higher to moderate is found, it will exit with exit code 1, i.e., fail.
While generating the report, it will also output number of vulnerabilities found (and types) in stdout.

Usage

Easiest way to use the scanner is to add it as a include in your .gitlab-ci.yml file, such as:

include:
  - https://gitlab.com/jitesoft/open-source/javascript/audit-for-gitlab/raw/master/scan.yml

This will run the scanning on your project on all events as long as it is disabled via env variables.

If you wish to customize it a bit more, you can extend or write your own:

npm-audit_dependency_scanning:
  image: registry.gitlab.com/jitesoft/open-source/javascript/audit-for-gitlab:1
  script:
    - audit-for-gitlab
  artifacts:
    reports:
      dependency_scanning: gl-dependency-scanning-report.json

If you wish to just use the scanner in one of your current scripts, the easiest way to do this, is to just install it via NPM:

npm i --global @jitesoft/audit-for-gitlab
cd /my/project/dir
audit-for-gitlab
cat gl-dependency-scanning-report.json

Dockerfile

The dockerfile is rebuilt on each new version of the scanner released, each build is released for ARM64 and AMD64.

Env variables

The following env variables can be used to configure the behaviour of the application slightly:

SECURE_LOG_LEVEL - Will change the log level to report more or less output.
Available levels are: fatal, error, warn, info, debugthough only debug, info and fatal are used in the application.
The debug level is basically only used for debugging purposes and development. info is default.

SCAN_EXIT_CODE - Will force a specific exit code in case of a moderate, high or critical vulnerability is found.
In case this is not set, exit code 1 will be used in the cases above, else 0.
