Upload code scanning results to Threadfix

GitHub to ThreadFix Scan Upload

A tool to import security findings (i.e. CodeQL) to an application in ThreadFix.

Secrets Configuration

Before you proceed further, make sure to have 3 key elements at hand as you'll need to add them as your workflow secrets. You'll need:

Threadfix API Key
Threadfix Instance URL
Threadfix APP ID

If you do not know the ID of your application, you can make a GET request to the following endpoint:

/rest/{version}/applications/{teamName}/lookup?name={appName}

ThreadFix Configuration

Additionally, you'll need to configure your ThreadFix deployment to recognize this new scanner source.

Log into ThreadFix and click Global > Administration > System Settings > Scanner Settings
Click the grey "Create New Scanner" button at the top of the page
Add details as needed, making sure the scanner name matched "GitHub Advanced Security" (note capitalization)

Use

This action will push open alerts for the current branch where the action is running. To use this workflow, simply include it in your action. Here's an example:

on: [push]

jobs:
  Threadfix-action:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      security-events: read
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v4
        with:
          python-version: '3.10'
      - name: Run Threadfix Connector
        uses: coalfire/github-threadfix-scan-upload@v3
        with: 
          TFIX_API_KEY: ${{secrets.TFIX_API_KEY}}
          TFIX_INSTANCE_URL: ${{secrets.TFIX_INSTANCE_URL}}
          TFIX_APP_ID: ${{secrets.TFIX_APP_ID}}

Here's an example on how to combine the Threadfix action with the CodeQl action, so that you can run them together.

  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
  schedule:

    #        │  ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)
    #        │  │ ┌───────────── day of the month (1 - 31)
    #        │  │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12 or JAN-DEC)
    #        │  │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of the week (0 - 6 or SUN-SAT)
