Code Comments

dist/pre/index.js

• [High]Avoid using outdated and insecure encryption algorithms
  The function computeSha256Hmac uses SHA-256 and HMAC-SHA256 algorithms for encryption which are outdated and insecure. According to NIST, SHA-256 should be phased out for new applications after 2015 due to concerns over its collision resistance, and HMAC-SHA256 can also be susceptible to padding oracle attacks. Replace the use of SHA-256 and HMAC-SHA256 with more modern and secure algorithms such as SHA3 or BLAKE2.
• [High]Sanitize user inputs fed to the code
  The function createPackage does not sufficiently sanitize user inputs before using them in the execution of shell commands with special characters. This allows for command injection attacks where an attacker can maliciously manipulate the given values to execute arbitrary commands on the host system, leading to unauthorized access or data compromise. Use input validation techniques such as regular expressions or input parameter validation to ensure that user-supplied inputs do not contain malicious data. Use proper quoting/escaping mechanisms in shell commands to prevent command injection attacks.
• [High]Remove irrelevant or unused code
  The file contains functions that are not used in the codebase, which increases the opportunities for vulnerabilities and unnecessary code bloat. The function cancelablePromiseRace has been commented out and is not used by any part of the code, which also leads to unmaintainable code. Remove unused or commented-out functions, as these add unnecessary bloat and complexity to the code while posing a potential vulnerability.
• [Medium]Avoid using hardcoded secret values in code
  The function setup includes a hardcoded value for the expectedChecksum property, which is used to verify checksums. This is against best practices as hardcoded secrets are easily visible in the code, which increases the potential for security breaches. Use a secure key management system that allows for secure storage of sensitive values (such as environment variables or configuration files) outside of the codebase. Never hardcode secrets directly into the code.
• [Medium]Make use of constant-time string comparison techniques
  The function verifyBundleIntegrity uses a regular string comparison (=) to compare two strings, which can potentially be susceptible to timing attacks. This allows an attacker to determine correct bit values by measuring response times to oracles derived from the comparison between the bundle hash values. Use constant-time string comparison techniques rather than standard string comparison functions to prevent timing attacks, such as using a cryptography library or writing the function in a manner that avoids branching/prediction.
• [Low]Use secure random number generators
  The function createNamespace uses weak random number generation, which can be potentially vulnerable to cryptographic attacks and reduces the strength of the key generation. Use secure random number generators, such as the function randomFillSync from the crypto library in NodeJS, to generate high-quality truly random numbers.
• [Low]Use asynchronous code instead of synchronous code
  The function getBundleIntegrity makes use of a synchronous readFileSync call, which can cause the function to block the event loop. This can result in decreased performance or timeouts. Refactor the code to use asynchronous calls, such as readFile, instead of using synchronous calls like readFileSync to avoid blocking the event loop.

{"Recommendations":[]}

Unfortunately, as there is no git patch included in the XML tags, I cannot provide any recommendations. Please provide the git patch for me to review.

src/checksum.ts

• [High]Do not hardcode sensitive data into code
  The expected checksum for v0.13.7 and tls_agent are hardcoded in the code, which can be easily changed by an attacker to make the verification pass even if the downloaded file has been tampered with. Store expected checksum values in a secure location outside of the codebase. Use environment variables, configuration files or a secrets manager to store these values.
• [Medium]Include mechanisms to prevent the use of weak or compromised cryptographic algorithms
  The code uses a SHA-256 checksum to verify the integrity of the downloaded file. SHA-256 is currently a strong cryptographic algorithm. However, it is always a good practice to include mechanisms to prohibit the use of weak or compromised cryptographic algorithms. Use a cryptography library that includes a strong algorithm policy. Limit the options for cryptographic algorithms to only those that are deemed secure by recognized cryptographic standards bodies.
• [Low]Use string interpolation instead of string concatenation
  The code concatenates two strings to construct the path of the downloaded file. String concatenation can lead to unpredictable results in certain edge cases (e.g., when variables contain unexpected characters). Interpolate strings using template literals instead of concatenation. For example, use const filePath = ${downloadsDirectory}/${fileName}; instead of const filePath = downloadsDirectory + '/' + fileName;.

src/interfaces.ts

• [High]Avoid storing sensitive values in code or configuration files
  The one_time_key value is included in the Configuration interface and may be used to access secure resources. Storing sensitive data in code could lead to exposure of data if the code is compromised. Sensitive data such as access tokens, API keys, and other secrets should not be stored in code. They should be stored in a secure configuration management system or environment variables. The one_time_key should be removed from the Configuration interface and stored securely. An API gateway or identity provider may be used to manage access to sensitive resources.
• [Medium]Avoid including unused code
  The private field is included in the Configuration interface, but is not used in the codebase. Including unused code can increase the attack surface area and make it harder to reason about the application. The private field should be removed from the Configuration interface if it is not being used in the application code.

src/policy-utils.test.ts

• [High]Do not hardcode sensitive data such as passwords or secrets
  The code has a hardcoded empty string value for the variable one_time_key which is potentially sensitive. Sensitive values like passwords, secrets or API keys should not be hardcoded. Instead, they should be stored within a secured system, such as a config file, environment variable, or a secrets manager.
• [Low]Ensure that sensitive data is encrypted during transmission, storage, and at rest
  The code adds an empty string value for the variable one_time_key without mentioning encryption, which could result in sensitive data being stored or transmitted in plaintext. Ensure that sensitive data is encrypted when it is transmitted over the network and stored in databases, logs, files or any other type of storage mediums. Apply encryption/decryption of sensitive data at all relevant stages.

src/setup.ts

• [High]Avoid using hard-coded sensitive data
  One-time key is being hardcoded, which can be a security risk. Keys should never be stored in code. Retrieve the one-time key from an encrypted secret or environment variable.
• [High]Always verify checksums of downloaded files
  The code verifies the checksum of a downloaded file, but only when the TLS is enabled. The checksum should always be verified to ensure data integrity. Verify the checksum of all downloaded files, even if TLS is not enabled.
• [Medium]Update to the latest released version of tools
  The code is using older versions of 'harden-runner' and 'agent', which may have fixed security issues. Update to the latest released version of 'harden-runner' and 'agent'.
• [Low]Use descriptive parameter names
  Parameter name 'confg' is not descriptive enough. Rename the 'confg' parameter to 'config'.
