Starter Pipeline for GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps

ghazdo-starter.yml

# Welcome to the Starter Pipeline for GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps (GHAzDo)
#
# This pipeline enables two core features of GHAzDo for your repository: 
#
# - Dependency Scanning, which will examine your application's package manifests
# to find and alert on any vulnerable dependencies you may be using, and
#
# - Code Scanning, which performs static analysis (SAST) of your application's source
# code to identify certain types of security vulnerabilities, along with additional, 
# optional quality checks.
#
# Setting up Secret Scanning doesn't require a special pipeline or build task, and is easy to 
# do in one click. This guide includes a walkthrough on how to enable secret scanning in the 
# section below.
#
# To learn more about GHAzDo, visit the following links: 
#   https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/devops/github-advanced-security
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/configure-github-advanced-security-features
#
#
# == PREREQUISITES ==
#
# Before GHAzDo features can be configured for your Azure DevOps repository, you must first 
# enable Advanced Security in repository settings. 
#
# To do this, follow the steps at the link below: 
#
# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/configure-github-advanced-security-features?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#enable-github-advanced-security
#
# == Secret Scanning ==
#
# While you're in the Repository Settings, be sure to enable Secret Scanning as well. 
# This feature protects you and your team from accidentally leaking secrets (such as 
# API keys, credentials, and so on) in your repository.
#
# Setup is easy, and only takes one click: 
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/configure-github-advanced-security-features?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#set-up-secret-scanning
# 
# To learn more about how Secret Scanning alerts are surfaced in Azure DevOps, along with 
# the types of secrets it's able to detect, check out the following documentation: 
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/github-advanced-security-secret-scanning?view=azure-devops
#
#
# == INSTALLATION ==
#
# To install this pipeline in your Azure DevOps repository, simply create a new pipeline with the contents of this file.
# Remember to read through and adjust and parameters (such as default branch trigger, languages scanned, and query suites 
# used) to suit your project and preferences.
#
# If you haven't worked with Azure Pipelines before, you can find a helpful guide on creating
# your first pipeline at the link below. Just replace the content of the starter pipeline with 
# the contents of this file.

#
#
# == MORE INFORMATION ==
#
# == Billing ==
#
# In some cases, billing for Advanced Security may need to be enabled and/or approved before 
# GHAzDo can be turned on in your repository. 
# 
# To access results and use GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps features, you need a license.
# Each active committer to at least one repository with Advanced Security enabled consumes one license. 
# A committer is considered active if they have committed code to the repository within the last 90 days.
# 
# To learn more about billing for Advanced Security in Azure DevOps, take a look at the following 
# documentation: 
# 
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/github-advanced-security-billing?view=azure-devops
#
# == Permissions and Access Levels for Advanced Security ==
#
# GHAzDo includes extra sets of permissions to give customers more control over 
# Advanced Security results and management. 
#
# If you'd like to learn more about these permissions, take a look at the following
# documentation: 
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/github-advanced-security-permissions?view=azure-devops


trigger:
# Set the following to the name of your default branch, or
# to the name of the branch against which you'd like to use
# GHAzDo's security tools and features.
# Typically, default branch names will be "master" or "main"
- master
- main

# By default, this pipeline uses the ubuntu-latest agent, which is
# hosted by Microsoft and runs in the cloud. This should work absolutely 
# perfectly in the vast majority of cases.

# If your application has a particular requirement in terms of a self-hosted
# agent used to run builds, you will need to install and configure the Code Scanning
# toolchain on that host. To do this, follow the "Extra prerequisites for self-hosted agents" 
# steps at the following link:
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/configure-github-advanced-security-features?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#extra-prerequisites-for-self-hosted-agents
pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:

# The next tasks in this pipeline set up Code Scanning. 
# To learn more about configuring Code Scanning features 
# in Azure Pipelines, visit the following link:
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/configure-github-advanced-security-features?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#set-up-code-scanning
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Init@1
  inputs:
    # Code Scanning supports csharp, cpp, go, java, javascript, python, and ruby.
    # For polyglot codebases, multiple languages can be specified in a comma-separated 
    # list, such as: 'csharp, javascript, ruby'
    #   https://codeql.github.com/docs/codeql-overview/supported-languages-and-frameworks/
    languages: 'csharp'
    # In Code Scanning, Query Suites are packages of queries (scanning rules) that configure the types of 
    # security and quality inspections that will be run against your application's codebase. 
    #
    # As of 30 June 2023, Code Scanning in GHAzDo supports four query suites: default, security-extended, 
    # security-experimental, and security-and-quality. 
    #
    # Each of these provides varying levels of features, coverage, and accuracy. We recommend starting with 
    # either the security-extended or default query suites.
    #
    # To learn more about query suites, a core part of the technology behind Code Scanning, visit the link 
    # below: 
    #   https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/built-in-codeql-query-suites
    querysuite: 'security-extended'

# Code Scanning's Autobuild task does its best to build your application automatically. 
# In many cases, this will work. However, you should remove this task if: 
# - Your application has special build requirements. In this case, replace the autobuild task with 
# the typical steps required to build your application.
# - Your application is written in a non-compiled language, such as JavaScript or Ruby. In this 
# case, the Autobuild task will have nothing to do (although leaving it in will not cause a failure)

# Note that if you're only building a subset of your repository, the preview version of GHAzDo may not
# be able to contend with the unbuilt portions of your application. This is a known limitation of GHAzDo 
# Code Scanning as of 30 June 2023, but is subject to change. 

# To learn more about Autobuild, take a look at the following CodeQL documentation: 
#   https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/code-scanning/automatically-scanning-your-code-for-vulnerabilities-and-errors/configuring-the-codeql-workflow-for-compiled-languages#about-autobuild-for-codeql
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Autobuild@1

# The following task performs and publishes the results of GHAzDo Dependency Scanning
# to the Advanced Security overview for your repository. Configuring any additional 
# options isn't necessary for this task.
#
# To learn more about how Dependency Scanning results are surfaced in Azure DevOps, 
# check out the documentation: 
#   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/security/github-advanced-security-dependency-scanning?view=azure-devops
#
- task: AdvancedSecurity-Dependency-Scanning@1

- task: AdvancedSecurity-Codeql-Analyze@1
  inputs:
    # In addition to configuring the query suites in use (and thus the types of scanning performed), GHAzDo also
    # allows you to configure certain performance-related settings for the Code Scanning analysis engine.  
    #
    # The defaults should be fine for most cases. However, if your codebase is particularly large, or if Code Scanning
    # requires more memory or threads to complete the analysis of your application, you may configure these below. 
    #
#    ram: 4096
    # You can pass 0 to use one thread per core on the machine, or -N to leave N cores unused (except still use at least one thread).
#    threads: 0

FYI: The final step - task: AdvancedSecurity-Publish@1 is not needed anymore.

@rajbos @NenoLoje Fixed!

Do we need AdvancedSecurity-Publish@1 for dependency scanning?

@woeterman94 : nope! It's a separate features
