Implement enterprise-grade security scanning and Docker image hardening with
GitHub Actions CI/CD integration, pre-commit hooks, and optimized production
Dockerfiles following CIS benchmarks and NIST best practices.
## Security Scanning Infrastructure
### New Security Tools Integration
- **Hadolint**: Dockerfile linting with CIS Docker benchmark rules
- **Dockle**: Container image security scanner (CIS best practices)
- **Trivy**: Comprehensive vulnerability scanner (OS + dependencies)
- **Grype**: Additional vulnerability scanning with SBOM generation
- **Syft**: Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation
### GitHub Actions Workflows
- `.github/workflows/security-scan.yml` - Multi-stage security scanning
* Runs on PR, push to main, and nightly schedule
* Uploads SARIF reports to GitHub Security tab
* Scans both backend and frontend images
* Fails on CRITICAL vulnerabilities in production
- `.github/workflows/pre-commit.yml` - Pre-commit hook validation
* Validates all pre-commit hooks pass in CI
* Runs on PR and push to main
* Ensures consistent code quality standards
### Pre-commit Configuration
- `.pre-commit-config.yaml` - Local development hooks
* Trailing whitespace removal
* YAML syntax validation
* File size limits (500KB)
* End-of-file fixing
* Hadolint Dockerfile linting
- `.hadolint.yaml` - Hadolint configuration
* Ignore DL3008 (apt version pinning) for development
* Ignore DL3059 (multiple RUN commands) for clarity
* CIS benchmark compliance for production
### Security Scanning Script
- `scripts/security-scan.sh` - Unified security scanning utility
* Auto-detects Docker images or builds from Dockerfiles
* Runs all 5 security tools in sequence
* Generates comprehensive HTML/JSON reports
* Configurable failure thresholds (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM)
* SBOM generation for compliance audits
## Docker Security Hardening
### Password Hashing Improvements
- Upgrade from `bcrypt` to `bcrypt_sha256` to handle long passwords properly
- `bcrypt_sha256` pre-hashes with SHA256 to bypass bcrypt's 72-byte limit
- Auto-upgrade existing bcrypt hashes on user login
- Applied to both `backend/app/auth/direct_auth.py` and `backend/app/core/security.py`
### Dockerfile Optimizations
- `backend/Dockerfile.dev.optimized` - Security-hardened development image
* Remove git (not needed in containers, security risk)
* Specific CUDA toolkit version pinning
* Minimal base image layers
* Proper apt-get cleanup
- `backend/Dockerfile.prod.optimized` - Production-ready secure image
* Same hardening as dev + production optimizations
* No development dependencies
* Minimal attack surface
- `frontend/Dockerfile.prod` - Updated to nginx:alpine (smaller, more secure)
* Previous: nginx:stable-alpine
* New: nginx:alpine (latest stable with security patches)
### Configuration Fixes
- `backend/app/core/config.py` - Fix DATA_DIR default path
* Changed from hardcoded `/mnt/nvm/repos/transcribe-app/data`
* To container path `/app/data` (proper Docker volume mount)
* Prevents path errors in containerized environments
## Build System Improvements
### Docker Build Script Enhancements
- `scripts/docker-build-push.sh` - Integrated security scanning
* Auto-run security scan after each build
* Environment variables for CI/CD:
- `SKIP_SECURITY_SCAN=true` - Skip scanning (faster builds)
- `FAIL_ON_SECURITY_ISSUES=true` - Fail on any issues (CI)
- `FAIL_ON_CRITICAL=true` - Fail only on CRITICAL (strict mode)
* Reports saved to `./security-reports/`
* Enhanced documentation with security examples
### Offline Package Builder
- `scripts/build-offline-package.sh` - Auto-load HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN from .env
* Remove interactive confirmation prompt for CI/CD
* Streamlined build process for automation
* Better documentation structure
## Documentation
### Security Scanning Guide
- `docs/SECURITY_SCANNING.md` - Comprehensive security documentation
* Quick start guide for all scanning tools
* CI/CD integration instructions
* Report interpretation guidelines
* Remediation best practices
* Example configurations and workflows
### .gitignore Updates
- Exclude security reports and build artifacts
* `offline-package-build/` - Build working directory
* `security-reports/` and `security-reports-*` - Scan outputs
* Prevent sensitive scan data from being committed
## Configuration Files
- `pyproject.toml` - Python project metadata
* Project name, version, description
* Dependencies management
* Build system configuration
* Tool-specific settings (ruff, black, etc.)
## Key Benefits
✅ **Automated Security**: Continuous scanning in CI/CD pipeline
✅ **Vulnerability Detection**: Multi-tool approach catches more issues
✅ **CIS Compliance**: Dockerfile best practices enforced
✅ **SBOM Generation**: Software Bill of Materials for audits
✅ **Production Hardening**: Optimized secure Docker images
✅ **Password Security**: Proper bcrypt_sha256 implementation
✅ **Developer Experience**: Pre-commit hooks catch issues early
## Breaking Changes
None - all changes are additive and backward compatible. Existing deployments
will continue to work, with security improvements activated on next rebuild.
## Testing
- ✅ Hadolint passes on all Dockerfiles (with allowed exceptions)
- ✅ Dockle CIS checks pass (minor warnings documented)
- ✅ Trivy vulnerability scans complete successfully
- ✅ Grype SBOM generation working
- ✅ GitHub Actions workflows validated
- ✅ Pre-commit hooks tested locally
- ✅ Security scan script tested on all images
- ✅ Password hashing backward compatibility verified
