Administrative Audit Criteria

Check Actions State

• Actions are enabled
• Actions are disabled

Check if Actions should be disabled

If actions have not been run in the previous 6 months they should be disabled:

• Actions have run in the last 6 months and shall remain enabled
• Actions have been disabled on the inactive repository

Repository Settings Checks

• Repository settings are configured per organization standard
• Individual branch protections are turned off
• Individual tag protections are turned off
• The repository uses the current rulesets
• Teams are assigned to the repository
• Individual contributors that are part of assigned teams are removed from contributors list
• All webhooks present are needed and in use

App Integrations

If actions are enabled:

• Dependabot is enabled on the repository
• Codecov is enabled on the repository

Security Checks

• Snyk is enabled on the repository
• Dependabot is configured to monitor all relevant ecosystems
  • npm
  • electron
  • github actions
  • etc.
• Secrets Management
  • No hardcoded secrets in the workflow files or code
  • GitHub secrets are employed to store sensitive data
  • Secrets are referenced in CI via config files or environment variables
• Tokens are stored securely as GitHub Secrets
• Executable Path Integrity
  • Integrity checks for executables are implemented
    • integrity checks should use either checksums or cryptographic hashes for verification
  • Checksums/hashes are verified during CI process to detect unathorized changes
  • Expected checksums/hashes are stored securely and referenced through the CI pipeline
• Code Coverage Reporting - Configure codecov on the repository
• CodeQL is enabled on the repository
• npx playwright install deps is used to install OS dependencies instead of aptitude
• Code Formatting
  • ESLint rules are applied to the codebase
  • Prettier Formatting rules are applied to the codebase

Custom Properties

• Custom properties: last-ci-review-by-team is set
• Custom properties: last-ci-review-date is set (Use format: YYYY-MM-DD)

Non-Administrative Audit Criteria

Dependabot

• dependabot.yml is up to date

Workflow checks

• Appropriate permissions are set within the github workflows
• All steps are named
• All workflow actions are using pinned commits
• The Step-Security Hardened Security action is enabled on each workflow job
• Ensure no hard-coded keys in workflows
  • Alert devops-ci administrative team if new github secrets are needed to resolve hard-coded keys

Self Hosted Runners

• The Repository is using the latitude runner group label for the runs-on stanza

CODEOWNERS

• .github/CODEOWNERS is valid and up-to-date

Other

• If Applicable: Alert repository owners of software versions that are no longer supported
• If Applicable: Alert repository owners when software versions are within 3 months of losing support

@rbarkerSL @andrewb1269hg In the build.yml and main.yml workflows there are multiple places with a hard-coded key.

The non-administrative checks are done. @andrewb1269hg assigning over to you.

@rbarkerSL @andrewb1269hg In the build.yml and main.yml workflows there are multiple places with a hard-coded key.

We will need to add the keys as secrets and then open up a freshdesk ticket for regenerating the keys with the appropriate repository owners.

Closing as won't do since this has moved to the hiero-ledger project.
