Dependency Vulnerability Scan CI Error

Problem

  • Multiple issues in dependency scanning workflow
  • Incorrect configuration for Node.js and dependency management

Root Causes

  1. Incorrect Node.js cache path
  2. NPM audit configuration
  3. Snyk scan limitations

Proposed Solutions

1. Node.js Cache Configuration

Update GitHub Actions workflow to correctly set cache path:

- name: Set up Node.js
  uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: 'lts/*'
    cache: 'npm'
    cache-path: './frontend'  # Specify correct frontend path

2. NPM Audit Improvement

Modify NPM audit to fail on high-severity vulnerabilities:

- name: NPM Audit
  working-directory: ./frontend
  run: |
    npm audit --audit-level=high

3. Snyk Scan Configuration

Update Snyk scan to cover entire project:

- name: Snyk Vulnerability Scan
  uses: snyk/actions/node@master
  env:
    SNYK_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SNYK_TOKEN }}
  with:
    command: test
    args: --all-projects --severity-threshold=high

Verification Steps

  • Update GitHub Actions workflow
  • Ensure correct cache and dependency management
  • Review and address any reported vulnerabilities

Potential Impacts

  • More robust dependency scanning
  • Early detection of security vulnerabilities
  • Improved project security posture
  • Review and update CI workflow
  • Implement comprehensive vulnerability scanning
  • Regularly update and audit dependencies
