Objective
Develop a comprehensive security regression test suite covering injection attacks, authentication bypass, DoS scenarios, and supply chain vulnerabilities to ensure security fixes remain effective over time.
Context
The repository has 30 security/validation test files with 557 validation patterns, but lacks dedicated security regression tests. Need to add tests for injection prevention, DoS scenarios, fuzzing, and end-to-end security validation.
Approach
-
Create pkg/workflow/security_regression_test.go:
// Injection attack prevention tests
func TestSecurityTemplateInjectionPrevention(t *testing.T) { }
func TestSecurityCommandInjectionPrevention(t *testing.T) { }
func TestSecurityXSSPrevention(t *testing.T) { }
func TestSecurityYAMLInjectionPrevention(t *testing.T) { }
// DoS prevention tests
func TestSecurityDoSViaLargeInputs(t *testing.T) { }
func TestSecurityDoSViaNestedYAML(t *testing.T) { }
func TestSecurityBillionLaughsAttack(t *testing.T) { }
// Authentication/authorization tests
func TestSecurityUnauthorizedAccess(t *testing.T) { }
func TestSecurityTokenLeakage(t *testing.T) { }
-
Create pkg/workflow/security_fuzz_test.go:
- Fuzz test input validation functions
- Fuzz test YAML parsing
- Fuzz test template rendering
- Use Go's built-in fuzzing support
-
Add end-to-end security tests:
- Compile malicious workflow attempts
- Verify safe-output system blocks unsafe operations
- Test network isolation enforcement
- Test path traversal prevention
-
Create pkg/cli/security_regression_test.go:
- Test CLI command injection prevention
- Test file path sanitization
- Test unsafe flag combinations
-
Integrate tests into Makefile:
.PHONY: test-security
test-security:
go test -v -tags=security ./pkg/workflow/... ./pkg/cli/...
-
Update specs/testing.md: Document security testing strategy and patterns
-
Add CI/CD job for security regression tests (can be part of existing test workflow)
Files to Create/Modify
- Create:
pkg/workflow/security_regression_test.go
- Create:
pkg/workflow/security_fuzz_test.go
- Create:
pkg/cli/security_regression_test.go
- Modify:
Makefile (add test-security target)
- Modify:
specs/testing.md (document security testing)
- Modify:
.github/workflows/test.yml (add security test job if needed)
Acceptance Criteria
Priority
Medium - Important for long-term security assurance but can be implemented after immediate security gaps are closed
