Problem/Motivation

Gitlab CI seems to now provide quite a lot of features to support automated security scans and quality gates, see:
https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/get-started-security/
https://about.gitlab.com/blog/security-configuration-profiles/

These features are not currently implemented in the module.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Enable security scans on Gitlab CI:

  • Composer audit is not really necessary, since the module has no dependency other than Drupal core.
  • NPM audit is not needed: the module does not use npm
  • DAST scans are not needed since the module does not have any API or end points.
  • SAST scan is required to scan the files in module's code base: PHP classes, YAML files, and other files (README.md, composer.json, etc...).
  • Secret Detection could be enabled since it is provided by Drupal Gitlab Templates as a variable RUN_JOB_SECRET_DETECTION.

Quick follow-up on this issue:

Added initial basic configuration for Gitlab CI security settings, mainly:
Included the standard Gitlab CI template: Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml, as suggested in the documentation.

Enabled two jobs to run automatically:
1 - GitLab Advanced SAST for comprehensive PHP/JS scanning of the module's source code.
2 - Gitlab SAST (semgrep-sast) for additional language support (limited scope).

Configured the SAST_EXCLUDED_PATHS to focus the scans only on the module's files.

After doing some tests with builds in the issue fork, since the jobs seemed to run as expected, I went ahead and merged the changes above at #3. 🥳

The latest build on 2.2.x seems to show the new jobs correctly and they seem to properly scan the code base: 🟢
https://git.drupalcode.org/project/image_link_formatter/-/pipelines/865826

At this point, the module should have some very basic automatic security scan coverage of the source code, which was the initial object of this ticket.
If more changes need to be made to the Gitlab CI security configuration they could be addressed in separate issues.

Marking ticket as Fixed, for now.

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions on any of the recent code changes or the project in general, we would surely be glad to help.
