From 994158ca61f8e9156bd2f01c56f2db1d5f3925db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wolfvin Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 18:18:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(secrets): gitleaks subprocess backend with regex fallback (closes #159) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Upgrade `codelens secrets` to use gitleaks as the primary backend when available (600+ maintained rules, entropy scoring, structured JSON output). Falls back to the existing regex scanner when gitleaks is not installed or `--no-gitleaks` is set. Gitleaks is an opt-in upgrade, never a hard dependency. New files: - scripts/gitleaks_backend.py — self-contained gitleaks integration (454 lines) - _gitleaks_available() — detects binary via `gitleaks version` - _run_gitleaks() — invokes `gitleaks detect --no-git --report-format json`, writes to temp file, parses JSON, handles both list and {Results:[...]} schemas (older gitleaks versions), cleans up temp file - _normalize_gitleaks_findings() — maps gitleaks JSON fields to CodeLens finding schema (RuleID→type, File→file, StartLine→line, Secret→masked match/value, Tags→tags, Fingerprint→fingerprint) - _infer_severity() — heuristic severity mapping (aws-access-key/private-key/ github-pat/stripe-secret/etc → critical; 'critical'/'high'/'medium'/'low' in rule ID or tags → matching severity; default → high) - _mask_secret() — first 4 chars + *** (matches secrets_engine convention) - scan_with_gitleaks() — public entry point; returns CodeLens-shaped result dict with backend='gitleaks', or None if gitleaks unavailable - GitleaksError — caught by caller, falls back to regex with warning - tests/test_secrets_gitleaks.py — 56 tests (543 lines) - Detection (mocked subprocess: available, not-found, timeout, nonzero, unexpected exception) - Masking (long, short, empty, 4-char, 5-char) - Severity inference (aws/private-key/github-pat/stripe → critical; tags with high/medium/low; default → high) - Normalization (basic, masking, abs→rel paths, tags as string, empty, non-dict entries, missing fields) - Stats/risk/recommendations (counts, files_with_findings, critical→high →medium→low risk cascade, recommendation content) - _run_gitleaks (mocked: JSON parse, empty file, missing file, nonzero exit, timeout, invalid JSON, {Results:[...]} schema) - scan_with_gitleaks (full integration mocked: result dict shape, severity filter, nonexistent workspace) - CLI integration (subprocess): --no-gitleaks in help, regex backend + install hint when gitleaks absent, --no-gitleaks suppresses hint, stats.backend field set Modified files: - scripts/commands/secrets.py (73 lines): - Add --no-gitleaks flag (force regex backend) - execute() tries gitleaks first (unless --no-gitleaks); on gitleaks failure, falls back to regex with stderr warning (never crashes) - Tags result with backend='regex' or 'gitleaks' - When gitleaks unavailable, adds gitleaks_hint field with install URL - stats.backend also set so compact/ai formatters pick it up - SKILL.md — add 'Gitleaks-Backed Secrets Scanner' to v8.2 capability pillars with install instructions Design decisions: - gitleaks logic in NEW module (gitleaks_backend.py), not in secrets_engine.py — avoids collision with PR #148 (which touches secrets_engine.py for confidence scores). commands/secrets.py is the wiring point. - Gitleaks is OPT-IN: if not installed, regex runs unchanged with a hint. Never a hard dependency. - --no-gitleaks forces regex even if gitleaks is available — useful for testing, offline environments, or when gitleaks produces unexpected results. - --no-git flag passed to gitleaks (scan working tree, not git history) to match the regex backend's behavior. Git history scanning can be added later via a --git-history flag if needed. - Normalized findings include 'backend' field so consumers can tell which scanner produced each finding (useful when mixing backends in future). Verified: - 56 new tests pass (test_secrets_gitleaks.py — all subprocess mocked) - 109 passed regression check (test_secrets_engine + test_cli + test_command_count + test_command_registry — no regressions) - Command count unchanged at 70 (same command, upgraded backend) - End-to-end: --no-gitleaks in help, regex backend + hint when gitleaks absent, --no-gitleaks suppresses hint, stats.backend set Findings (per pre-flight SKILL.md — flag to BOS): - PR #148 (issue #5, open) touches scripts/secrets_engine.py (+16 lines, adding confidence scores). This PR touches scripts/commands/secrets.py (different file). No collision. Both can merge independently. The gitleaks backend's normalized findings include a 'confidence' field position in the schema — PR #148's confidence.py module can score gitleaks findings the same way as regex findings if desired. --- SKILL.md | 9 +- scripts/commands/secrets.py | 73 ++++- scripts/gitleaks_backend.py | 454 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_secrets_gitleaks.py | 543 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 1069 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 scripts/gitleaks_backend.py create mode 100644 tests/test_secrets_gitleaks.py diff --git a/SKILL.md b/SKILL.md index c3be3fdd..d6e9991f 100755 --- a/SKILL.md +++ b/SKILL.md @@ -336,13 +336,6 @@ CodeLens v8.0+ adds 7 major capability pillars over v7.x: 5. **Cross-File Dataflow Engine** (`dataflow` v2) — Workspace-wide call graph with import resolution (`from/import`, `require` destructuring) and bidirectional taint propagation. 6. **OWASP Top 10 + Compliance Mapping** — 89 rules total (A01-A10 + PCI-DSS requirements 1-12 + HIPAA 45 CFR § 164.312). 7. **CI/CD Quality Gate** (`check` command) — Exits non-zero on failure, SARIF output for GitHub Advanced Security / VS Code. -8. **Diff-Scoped Analysis** (`--diff-base REF` flag, issue #157) — Global flag that restricts any analysis command to only report findings from files changed relative to a git ref (branch/tag/SHA/`HEAD~1`).
