CloudBees action: Scan containers with TruffleHog

Use this action to scan Docker images with TruffleHog, an open-source secret scanning tool to detect secrets and sensitive information.

All CloudBees action repositories are listed at CloudBees, Inc. on GitHub.

Prerequisites

This action requires prior authentication to the container registry, so you must invoke the Docker registry authentication action before invoking the TruffleHog container scan action. For more information, refer to the OCI credentials configuration action.

Inputs

Table 1. Input details
Input name	Data type	Required	Description
`image-location`	String	Yes	Repository location of the Docker image.
`image-tag`	String	Yes	Tag of the Docker image.
`threshold-very-high`	Integer	No	The number threshold of very high severity vulnerabilities at which the build is broken.
`only-verified`	String	No	Enables the verified flag to scan only verified secrets. The default is `true`.^[1]

^[1] If only-verified is set to true, The TruffleHog tool may utilize an external third-party API to verify the secrets detected.

Customers concerned about security implications involving third-party API calls should set the only-verified value to false, which returns all the secrets without verification and might include false positives. Refer to the TruffleHog credential verification documentation for more information.

Usage examples

In your YAML file, add:

      - name: Check out repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - name: Sign in to OCI registry
        uses: cloudbees-io/configure-oci-credentials@v1
        with:
          registry: ${{ vars.OCI_REGISTRY }}
          username: ${{ secrets.OCI_USERNAME }}
          password: ${{ secrets.OCI_PASSWORD }}

      - name: Run TruffleHog container scan
        uses: cloudbees-io/trufflehog-secret-scan-container@v1
        with:
          image-location: ${{ vars.IMAGE_LOCATION }}
          image-tag: ${{ vars.IMAGE_TAG }}▼

In the following example, if there are more than three very high severity vulnerabilities identified, the build is broken.

      - name: Run TruffleHog container scan with threshold
        uses: cloudbees-io/trufflehog-secret-scan-container@v1
        with:
          image-location: ${{ vars.IMAGE_LOCATION }}
          image-tag: ${{ vars.IMAGE_TAG }}
          threshold-very-high: 3▼

In the following example, only-verified is set to false. The returned secrets are not verified and might include false positives.

      - name: Run TruffleHog container scan without verifying
        uses: cloudbees-io/trufflehog-secret-scan-container@v1
        with:
          image-location: ${{ vars.IMAGE_LOCATION }}
          image-tag: ${{ vars.IMAGE_TAG }}
          threshold-very-high: 3
          only-verified: false▼
