Bandit

The Bandit Scanner is a static analysis tool that finds common security vulnerabilities in Python code. Salus will run the Bandit scanner if your repo has a setup.cfg or requirements.txt.

Configuration

Bandit currently always runs with the --recursive and --format json options turned on. In addition, you can configure the additional options below. For more information on Bandit configs, see Bandit Usage

  scanner_configs:
    Bandit:
      aggregate: file or vuln  # aggregate output by vulnerability (default) or by filename
      configfile: config_filename  # config file to use for selecting plugins and overriding defaults
      profile: profile_name"  # "profile to use (defaults to executing all tests)"
      tests:  # list of test IDs to run
        - test_id1
        - test_id2
      skips:  # list of test IDs to skip
        - test_id1
        - test_id2
      level: LOW or MEDIUM or HIGH  # report only issues of given severity level or higher, default is LOW
      confidence: LOW or MEDIUM or HIGH  # report only issues of given confidence level or higher, default is LOW
      baseline: baseline_report_filename  # path of a baseline report to compare against
      ini: path_to_.bandit_file  # file supplies command line args
      ignore-nosec: true or false  # do not skip lines with # nosec comments
      exclude: # paths to exclude from scan
        - path1
        - path2
      exceptions:
        - advisory_id: test_id1
          changed_by: security-team
          notes: Currently no patch exists and determined that this vulnerability is not exploitable.
          expiration: "2021-04-27"

The following Bandt config options are currently NOT supported.

-n CONTEXT_LINES   # maximum number of code lines to output for each issue
--format {csv,custom,html,screen,txt,xml,yaml}   # salus always writes output to json
--msg-template MSG_TEMPLATE   # unsupported because it only works with --format custom
--verbose  # output extra information like excluded and included
--debug  # turn on debug mode (used for debugging Bandit code)
--quiet  # only show output in the case of error

Exceptions

The skips configuration is supported for backwards compatibility and will be deprecated in the future. Salus exceptions are being normalized to the new exceptions configuration
