Mohd KaifandSameer6305 b59211ea7f security: SHA-pin all Actions, harden release pipeline, add pin verification (#824)
* security: SHA-pin all Actions, harden release pipeline, add pin verification

Hardens the CI/CD supply chain against the LiteLLM/Trivy-style attack (a
compromised third-party Action with a mutable tag stealing a long-lived
publishing token) and closes several related gaps found in an audit of the
actual repository state.

- Pin every third-party GitHub Action across all workflows to a full commit
  SHA (tag kept as a trailing comment); add verify-action-pins.yml, a CI
  check that confirms via the GitHub API that each pin still matches its
  tag, on every workflow change, push to main, and weekly.
- Scope release.yml permissions to the job level (workflow defaults to
  contents: read); add a concurrency group so simultaneous tag pushes can't
  race the publish job.
- Add SLSA build provenance attestation (actions/attest-build-provenance)
  for every released wheel.
- Fix a latent bug in security-scan.yml: the PR-comment step was missing
  pull-requests: write and silently failing; add bounded artifact retention
  for uploaded scan reports.
- Group github-actions Dependabot updates to cut review noise.
- Document the resulting posture in SECURITY.md for auditors/regulated
  adopters, including what's enforced and what a fork needs to reconfigure
  for itself (environment/branch protection, Trusted Publishing trust).

Also (via GitHub API, not in this diff): created a protected `pypi`
environment with a required reviewer restricted to v* tags, and enabled
branch protection on main (required review, required status checks, no
force-push/deletion).

* fix: harden verify-action-pins per PR #824 bot review

Addresses real findings from the automated review on #824:

- The script previously only matched uses: lines that already contained a
  40-hex SHA, so a newly added mutable-tag action (e.g. some/action@v1)
  would never be scanned at all and the check would pass silently. It now
  matches every uses: line and hard-fails on any ref that isn't a full
  commit SHA.
- A tag that fails to resolve via the GitHub API (rate limit, deleted tag)
  previously only logged a warning and continued; that's now a hard
  failure too, since an unverifiable pin is exactly the failure mode this
  check exists to catch.
- verify-action-pins.yml only triggered on .github/workflows/** changes,
  so an edit to the verifier script itself wouldn't run the check that
  verifies it. Added the script path to both trigger filters.

The reviewer's claim that slash-containing tag comments (release/v1) break
the API lookup did not reproduce - tested directly against
pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish@release/v1 and GitHub's commits API resolves
multi-segment refs natively - so no change was needed there.

Verified with a synthetic test workflow containing a mutable-tag action,
a correctly-pinned SHA, and a deliberately mismatched SHA: the updated
script now catches the first and third cases and passes the second. Also
re-ran against the real workflow tree (40/40 pins still verify clean).

* fix: repair broken Safety scan and PR comment formatting

The "Comment PR with Security Results" step was producing garbled output
(literal \n characters instead of newlines, "undefined:" labels) because:

- Every line in the JS comment builder used \n (escaped backslash-n)
  inside template literals, which JS renders as the literal two-character
  string \n, not a newline.
- The Semgrep section read issue.rule_id, but Semgrep's JSON field is
  check_id - hence "undefined: <path>" for every entry.

Rewrote the comment builder to construct each section as an array of
lines joined with a real '\n', with correct field names, and collapsed
long finding lists into a <details> block instead of a flat list.
Verified by extracting the exact script and running it under node against
synthetic fixtures matching each tool's real JSON schema (found/clean/
missing-report paths all render correctly).

While tracing the "undefined" and always-empty Safety section, found the
Safety step itself was silently broken:

- `safety check --json --output safety-report.json` is invalid in
  Safety 3.x: --output now selects a console format (json/text/screen),
  not a file path. The command errored on every run (swallowed by
  `|| true`), so safety-report.json was never created and the PR comment
  always fell back to a generic "scan completed" message. Switched to
  `--save-json`, which is the correct flag for writing a JSON report to
  disk, and confirmed against the real safety 3.8.1 CLI locally.
- Even with a report, the code read vuln.package - the real field is
  package_name.
- The job never installed Semantica's own dependencies before scanning,
  so `safety check` (which defaults to scanning the environment) was
  auditing the scanner tools' own dependencies, not Semantica's. Added
  `pip install -e ".[llm-litellm]"` so the project's actual dependency
  tree - including the LiteLLM extra this whole hardening effort is
  about - is what gets scanned.

Also updated the corresponding SECURITY.md bullet to describe what Safety
actually covers now.

* fix: remove unused pypdf2 dependency (CVE-2023-36464)

Now that the Safety scan step actually runs (see previous commit), it
correctly failed this PR's checks on CVE-2023-36464 in pypdf2==3.0.1 - a
real, pre-existing vulnerability that was invisible until the scan was
fixed.

PyPDF2 is not a patchable dependency here: the project is discontinued
(merged into `pypdf`), 3.0.1 is its final release, and there is no fixed
version to upgrade to. Grepping the repo for `import PyPDF2` / `from
PyPDF2` turns up nothing - it was never actually imported anywhere. Its
only presence outside pyproject.toml was in docstrings describing a
"PyPDF2.PdfReader() fallback" for PDF parsing that was never implemented
in code; pdfplumber is the library actually used. Removed the dependency
and corrected the stale docstrings in parse/__init__.py, parse/methods.py,
parse/pdf_parser.py, and ingest/email_ingestor.py accordingly.

* fix: suppress Bandit B324 false positives on non-cryptographic MD5 use

Same pattern as the previous pypdf2 commit: fixing the Safety scan
surfaced this PR's own Bandit HIGH-severity gate actually blocking on 10
pre-existing findings, all Bandit B324 ("Use of weak MD5 hash for
security").

Checked each of the 10 call sites: every one uses hashlib.md5() to build
a short deterministic cache key, entity ID, or IRI suffix from already-
non-secret input (query text, entity text/type, class/property names) -
none are used for passwords, tokens, or integrity verification of
untrusted data. This is exactly the case Bandit's own message points at
("Consider usedforsecurity=False").

Did not use usedforsecurity=False itself: that keyword argument was
added to hashlib in Python 3.9, and pyproject.toml declares
`requires-python = ">=3.8"` - adding it unconditionally risks a TypeError
on 3.8. Used a targeted `# nosec B324` comment with a one-line
justification instead, which suppresses only this specific check and
carries no runtime behavior change on any supported Python version.

Verified locally: bandit -r semantica/ -ll now reports 0 HIGH-severity
findings (was 10).

* docs: add CHANGELOG entry for #824 CI/CD supply-chain hardening

Covers the SHA-pinning + verify-action-pins.yml enforcement, release.yml
hardening (job-scoped permissions, concurrency, SLSA provenance), the
pypi environment/branch protection GitHub-side config, the
security-scan.yml Safety/comment-formatting fixes, and the two
vulnerabilities those fixes surfaced (pypdf2 CVE-2023-36464 removal,
Bandit B324 suppression).

* fix: close two remaining gaps missed by upstream bot-review fixes

verify-action-pins.sh:
- Quoted uses: lines (e.g. uses: owner/action@SHA) were not matched
  by the existing regex, so a SHA-pinned action written with quotes would
  silently skip verification. Updated the main ERE to accept an optional
  leading/trailing single or double quote around the owner/action@ref
  value, and excluded quote chars from the inner character classes so the
  ref is still extracted cleanly.
- The grep input glob only covered *.yml. GitHub also treats *.yaml as a
  valid workflow extension. Added *.yaml to the glob and a 2>/dev/null
  guard so the command doesn't fail when no *.yaml files exist.

security-scan.yml (on top of Kaif's --save-json fix in 67c7ec2a):
- Kaif's fix kept the '|| echo 0' fallback on the VULNS= line, so all
  five scanner-failure modes (file missing, empty file, malformed JSON,
  valid JSON with no 'vulnerabilities' key, vulnerabilities: null) still
  silently produce VULNS=0 or VULNS=null and pass the merge-blocker check.
- Added guard 1: '[ ! -s safety-report.json ]' fails loudly if Safety
  crashed before writing a report (covers missing and empty-file cases).
- Dropped the '|| echo 0' fallback and added guard 2: '[[ ! VULNS =~
  ^[0-9]+$ ]]' fails loudly on non-integer VULNS (covers malformed JSON,
  missing key, and null cases). Both guards emit ::error:: annotations.
- Verified with a 7-case simulation: all 5 failure modes now exit 1;
  genuine zero-vuln and real-vuln cases still behave correctly.

* fix: correct bash [[ =~ ]] quoting that broke verify-action-pins.sh in CI

The regex for matching uses: lines was embedded directly inline in a
[[ =~ ]] test with literal \" and \' escape sequences. Bash's conditional-
expression parser interprets these as shell syntax rather than regex
literals, producing:

  syntax error in conditional expression: unexpected token ')'

at line 27 on every CI run.

Fix: move the regex into a USES_PATTERN variable using safe single-quote
shell-string concatenation so the [[ =~ ]] parser receives an unquoted
variable reference ($USES_PATTERN) rather than a literal pattern containing
bash-special characters. The regex semantics are identical: optional
leading/trailing quote around owner/action@ref, quote chars excluded from
capture groups.

Verified in real bash 5.2.21 (Git for Windows):
  No syntax error on the real 40-pin workflow tree (Checked 40)
  Unquoted SHA pin:      MATCH, correct repo+ref extracted
  Double-quoted SHA pin: MATCH, correct repo+ref extracted
  Single-quoted SHA pin: MATCH, correct repo+ref extracted
  .yaml extension file:  MATCH, correct repo+ref extracted
  ./local-action:        NO MATCH (correct)
  docker://:             NO MATCH (correct)

* docs: add 3 missing items to fork-reconfiguration checklist in SECURITY.md

The checklist covered Trusted Publishing trust, protected environment,
branch protection, and Dependabot github-actions entry. Three non-forking
controls described elsewhere in SECURITY.md were omitted:

- GitHub secret scanning and push protection (repo settings, not copied
  on fork)
- GitGuardian (GitHub App installation scoped to this specific repo,
  requires separate install on any fork)
- CodeQL Default Setup vs Advanced Setup state (repo setting that affects
  whether the upload-sarif step in codeql.yml does anything)

Added as items 5, 6, 7 matching the existing numbered bullet style.

* fix: update github/codeql-action pins to v4 tip (SHA drift caught by verify check)

verify-action-pins caught that github/codeql-action@v4 tag was re-pointed
upstream:

  old: f205ea1c3313d32999d8d6a48b4f6530d4437b38
  new: d1ba80a13dd99fba24a470575428917156a28b43

Updated all 8 occurrences across codeql.yml (init x3, autobuild, analyze,
upload-sarif) and defender-for-devops.yml (upload-sarif x2). Tag comment
# v4 unchanged — the tag itself hasn't changed, only what commit it points to.

KaifAhmad1 836eff3e55 ci: retry CodeQL init on transient bundle-download ECONNRESET
The CodeQL Analyze Python job failed on the #757 merge commit with
ECONNRESET while streaming the CodeQL bundle download in
codeql-action/init's "Setup CodeQL tools" step. This is unrelated to
the merged code — it's a known, currently-unaddressed gap in
codeql-action: the download error is retryable but the action doesn't
retry it internally (confirmed via codeql-action's issue tracker and
changelog).

Since a `uses:` step can't be wrapped by a shell-level retry action,
Initialize CodeQL now runs up to 3 times, cascading to the next
attempt only if the previous one failed, so the common case (success
on attempt 1) costs nothing extra.

KaifAhmad1andClaude Sonnet 4.6 4acdefd4b8 fix: address 4 post-review bugs from security-enhancement PR
fix(agent_memory): implement MemoryItem.to_dict() / from_dict() for safe JSON
  persistence — timestamps serialised via isoformat(), embeddings dropped (not
  JSON-safe, regenerated on demand); save() and load() now round-trip correctly
  without TypeError or AttributeError (Bug #1)

fix(sparql): add asyncio.Semaphore(_SPARQL_MAX_CONCURRENT=4) around graph.query
  so timed-out threads cannot exhaust the default ThreadPoolExecutor; add
  `truncated: bool` field to SparqlResponse so callers know when the 5 000-row
  cap was hit (Bug #2)

fix(export_import): trim _ALLOWED_IMPORT_EXTENSIONS to {.json, .csv} — the only
  formats the handler actually parses; removes .graphml/.gexf/.ttl/.rdf that
  passed the allowlist check but hit a hard 422 inside the handler (Bug #3)

fix(codeql): remove blanket rule-ID auto-dismiss job; replace with a commented
  template for pinning specific alert numbers — prevents future real alerts of
  the same rule being silently suppressed (Bug #4)

KaifAhmad1andClaude Sonnet 4.6 6390138edc fix(codeql): remove 403-failing disable step; dismiss fixed alerts via API
GITHUB_TOKEN cannot change Default Setup (requires admin rights — HTTP 403).
Removed the disable-default-setup job entirely.

New approach:
- analyze job: runs CodeQL with upload:false then uploads SARIF via
  upload-sarif with continue-on-error:true so the workflow does not fail
  if Default Setup is still active
- dismiss-fixed-alerts job: runs on push to main, fetches all open alerts
  matching the 3 fixed rule IDs and dismisses them via PATCH API which
  only requires security-events:write (no admin needed)

KaifAhmad1andClaude Sonnet 4.6 8b47c148c5 fix(codeql): split disable-default-setup into separate job with confirmation
The previous fix used || true in a single-step which masked API failures
and had no propagation delay — Default Setup remained active when the
SARIF upload ran, causing the same conflict error.

Changes:
- New job `disable-default-setup` runs first: calls the API, waits 30s,
  then polls to confirm state=not-configured before exiting
- `analyze` job depends on `disable-default-setup` via `needs:` so CodeQL
  only runs after the state change is confirmed propagated

KaifAhmad1andClaude Sonnet 4.6 8eae75c03a fix(codeql): disable Default Setup before Advanced Setup analysis
Advanced Setup and Default Setup cannot run simultaneously — SARIF upload
fails with "cannot be processed when the default setup is enabled".

Added a pre-analysis step that calls the GitHub code-scanning API to switch
Default Setup to not-configured before CodeQL runs, eliminating the conflict.

Adds explicit CodeQL analysis workflow triggered on push/PR to main and

schedule — alerts do not re-scan after a PR merge, leaving fixed
vulnerabilities still shown as open.
