Summary

  • Security Remediation: Remove hardcoded credentials, add .env.example templates, update .gitignore for secrets exclusion, add Gitleaks secret detection rules
  • CI/CD Hardening: Add comprehensive pre-commit hooks (Gitleaks, Ruff, sqlfluff, yamllint, Hadolint), create full CI pipeline with security scanning, linting, testing, and dbt compile checks
  • Version Pinning: Update Dockerfiles to use Chainguard hardened images, pin all third-party container images, pin Python dependencies in all requirements.txt files, update GitHub Actions to v4/v5

Changes

Security

  • Created .env.local.example, go_loader.env.example, postgres.env.example templates
  • Updated .gitignore to exclude .env, .env.local, config/*.env
  • Fixed hardcoded credentials in Python files to use os.getenv()
  • Added .gitleaks.toml with custom rules for MinIO, PostgreSQL credentials

CI/CD

  • Added .pre-commit-config.yaml with hooks for secret detection, Python/SQL/YAML/Dockerfile linting
  • Created .github/workflows/ci.yml with change detection, security scanning, linting, testing, dbt compile
  • Created .github/workflows/secret-scan.yml for dedicated secret scanning
  • Added .yamllint.yaml configuration

Versioning

  • Updated Dockerfiles to use cgr.dev/chainguard/python and cgr.dev/chainguard/go images
  • Pinned container images: ollama:0.1.47, elementary:0.14.2, evidently:0.4.14, redis_exporter:v1.55.0
  • Pinned all Python packages in requirements.txt files
  • Updated GitHub Actions to v4/v5

Test plan

  • Verify pre-commit hooks work: pip install pre-commit && pre-commit run --all-files
  • Verify CI workflow triggers on PR
  • Verify secret scanning detects test credentials
  • Verify Dockerfiles build successfully with Chainguard images
  • Verify local dev workflow still works with tilt up

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR implements production-ready security hardening, CI/CD automation, and dependency version pinning across the infrastructure. The changes successfully eliminate hardcoded credentials from Python code, add comprehensive linting and secret scanning, and update container images to use Chainguard's hardened base images.

Key Improvements:

  • Removed hardcoded credentials from all Python files (postgres_query.py, data generators) and replaced with environment variable lookups with validation
  • Added .env.example templates and updated .gitignore to exclude secrets from version control
  • Implemented comprehensive CI/CD pipeline with change detection, security scanning (Gitleaks, Trivy), multi-language linting (Python, SQL, YAML, Dockerfiles, K8s), and automated testing
  • Updated GitHub Actions to v4/v5 and pinned Python dependencies across all requirements.txt files
  • Migrated Dockerfiles to use Chainguard hardened images with multi-stage builds

Critical Issues Found:

  • Hardcoded credentials in Kubernetes manifests: ops/dev-stack/elementary/deployment.yaml contains hardcoded MinIO credentials (minio-sa/minio123) in a Secret resource, directly contradicting the PR's security goals
  • CI workflow logic error: The ci-complete job depends on all conditional jobs (lint-python, test-go, etc.) but will fail when those jobs are skipped due to no file changes
  • K8s manifest validation command bug: The find command in the lint-k8s job has incorrect -o operator usage without grouping parentheses

Issues to Address:

  • Gitleaks regex pattern includes minio-sa which will trigger false positives on example files despite the allowlist
  • Chainguard Docker images use :latest tags instead of pinned versions, reducing reproducibility
  • Pre-commit hook versions are slightly outdated (pre-commit-hooks v4.5.0, Ruff v0.1.9)

Confidence Score: 3/5

  • This PR has good security improvements but contains critical hardcoded credentials that must be fixed before merge
  • The PR makes excellent progress on security remediation and CI/CD automation, with properly implemented environment variable handling in Python code. However, the presence of hardcoded credentials in elementary/deployment.yaml (MinIO credentials) and evidently/deployment.yaml (secret key) directly contradicts the security goals. Additionally, the CI workflow has a logic bug that will cause the ci-complete job to fail when conditional jobs are skipped, and the K8s manifest validation has a command syntax error. These issues need to be resolved before the PR can be safely merged.
  • ops/dev-stack/elementary/deployment.yaml (hardcoded credentials), .github/workflows/ci.yml (workflow logic and find command bugs), ops/dev-stack/evidently/deployment.yaml (hardcoded secret)

the ci-complete job requires all conditional jobs (e.g., lint-python, test-go) even when they're skipped due to no changes. This will cause the job to fail when those jobs are skipped.

the regex pattern includes minio-sa which appears in the .env.local.example file (line 8) and will trigger false positives despite the allowlist

the grep patterns exclude lines with os.getenv or os.environ, but won't catch cases where credentials use different environment variable access patterns (e.g., environ.get(), getenv() without os.)
