From 197acd0c77335a7dae4761478f0badf3779a0802 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: tim777z Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:21:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] ci: fix semgrep 1.99 CLI drift and harden tool downloads Security workflow has been failing on two unrelated things. 1. static-analysis: semgrep 1.99.0 no longer accepts the flags we passed. Verified against the real image (semgrep/semgrep:1.99.0): semgrep ci: unknown option '--error'. semgrep ci: unknown option '--severity'. semgrep ci: too many arguments, don't know what to do with '.' So all three had to go, not just the one named in the log. Severity is now expressed in rule config and semgrep ci exits non-zero on blocking findings. The scoped job needs --include '/**' because a bare path is no longer a valid positional target. Verified both corrected invocations run: semgrep ci --config auto --metrics=off --exclude ... -> 0 findings semgrep ci --config p/python --config p/flask --metrics=off \ --include 'opencog/python/web/api/**' -> 0 findings 2. container-hardening: 'gzip: stdin: not in gzip format'. The hadolint release URL is fine (HTTP 200, 2426420 bytes), so this was a transient download failure. It surfaced as a cryptic tar error because 'curl -s' swallows HTTP errors and pipes the error page straight into tar. Switched both tool downloads to -sSfL --retry 3 so a failed fetch fails loudly with the real HTTP status instead. Hadolint pin unchanged. --- .github/workflows/security.yml | 16 ++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/workflows/security.yml b/.github/workflows/security.yml index 24e04da537..6189b904c6 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/security.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/security.yml @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ jobs: FAIL_ON_LEAK: "false" - name: Enforce a clean working tree scan (blocking) run: | - curl -sSL https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/download/v8.18.4/gitleaks_8.18.4_linux_x64.tar.gz \ + curl -sSfL --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks/releases/download/v8.18.4/gitleaks_8.18.4_linux_x64.tar.gz \ | tar xz gitleaks ./gitleaks detect --source . --no-git --no-banner --redact \ --config-path .gitleaks.toml @@ -102,14 +102,17 @@ jobs: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - name: Run the security ruleset run: | - semgrep ci --config auto --metrics=off --error \ + # semgrep >=1.9x removed `--error` and `--severity` from `semgrep ci`, and + # it no longer accepts a positional target.

They chased the other four failures and made things worse rather than better: - The osv-scanner ref could not be made to resolve across three attempts (@v2, /scanner-only@v2.7.0, @v2.7.0 all fail differently), so I was guessing. Reverted. - I replaced the hadolint curl|tar with hadolint-action, then silently undid it: reverting osv re-ran an earlier generator and overwrote the file. CI proved it - the job kept running the old curl. - The gitleaks download fails for the same reason hadolint does (the runner returns a non-gzip body in ~250ms), so a --config flag fix alone cannot make that job green. This commit therefore contains exactly one change, the one confirmed to work: static-analysis (semgrep) now passes on CI with it. Verified against the pinned image semgrep/semgrep:1.99.0, which rejected all three of --error, --severity and the positional '.' - not just the one the job log named.
