fix: keep scan reports private and accessible to the runner - #87
Ensure downstream GitHub Actions steps can read generated scan reports while preserving the Kubescape CLI’s intentional owner-only permissions.
Problem
The action runs its scan container as root, while subsequent upload steps run as the non-root GitHub Actions runner. With CLI v4.0.16, reports written with mode 0600 can therefore fail to upload with EACCES.
Additionally, scanner threshold failures exit the entrypoint before SARIF normalization. Successful normalization can instead replace a private report with a temporary file whose permissions depend on the umask.
Changes
Run the container using the invoking runner’s UID/GID.
Provide a writable, ephemeral container HOME.
Normalize available SARIF reports even when scanning returns a nonzero status, then preserve the original scanner exit code.
Use unique, owner-only temporary files and clean them up on failure.
Fail otherwise successful scans when SARIF is missing, malformed, or empty, or requested JSON is missing.
Preserve autofix behavior and propagate autofix errors.
Exercise the checked-out action in configuration/image scan workflows rather than upstream @main.
Add report-finalization and container-access regressions to test CI.
No recursive workspace permission changes or world-readable report workaround is introduced.
This PR addresses report ownership and finalization only. The CodeQL uploader-version update remains separate, and the SARIF path correction from #84 is preserved.
Reports are finalized before the scanner’s exit status is returned. Missing or invalid requested reports and report-processing failures now result in a failure.
Generated reports are restricted to the invoking user, and SARIF artifacts retain workspace-relative paths.
Automatic fixes run only after scanning and report finalization succeed.
Updates
Example workflows now run the action from the checked-out repository rather than the published version.
Run the container as the invoking UID/GID with a writable temporary home. Finalize SARIF even after scanner failure, preserve the scanner exit status, and use private temporary files with explicit finalization errors. Add report and container-boundary regressions and exercise the local action in scan workflows.

Walkthrough
The action now runs its scan container with the runner’s UID and GID. The entrypoint finalizes SARIF and requested JSON reports while preserving the scanner’s exit status. New tests cover report access and finalization. Repository scan examples use the checked-out action.

Summary
Container identity and report access action.yml, tests/action_test.sh, tests/report-container_test.sh, .github/workflows/example-scan*.yaml, .github/workflows/example-fix-pr-review.yaml
The container runs as the runner’s UID:GID with HOME=/tmp. Container tests check report ownership and mode, output validity, thresholds, and autofix behavior. The example workflows use the checked-out action.
Report finalization and regression coverage entrypoint.sh, tests/report_test.sh, .github/workflows/test.yaml
The entrypoint finalizes SARIF and requested JSON, returns the scanner’s nonzero status before any finalization status, and runs kubescape fix after these checks. Tests cover report errors, path handling, permissions, and autofix. The test workflow runs the new report tests.
Autofix can receive an empty report path for some format selections, and an incomplete SARIF report can be treated as valid. Fix these cases before relying on those scan outputs; the remaining merge risk is low.

Explanation
[ #85 ] The action uses the runner UID/GID and a writable temporary HOME. The entrypoint normalizes SARIF after scan failures, preserves the scanner status, uses private temporary files, checks report finalization, and propagates autofix errors. Regression tests cover report access, nested paths, restrictive umasks, failure cases, and autofix. Hosted JSON upload validation remains outstanding, but is not a coding requirement.

Request changes: the ownership/finalization fix is needed, but one introduced format-compatibility regression remains.
P2 — Match the JSON format as a complete token (entrypoint.sh:183).contains "${output_formats}" "json" also matches supported image formats cyclonedx-json and spdx-json. With image: nginx, either format and the default outputFile: results, a successful scanner writes results.cdx.json or results.spdx.json. This new guard instead requires results or results.json and returns failure (JSON file results not found.). The CLI v4.0.16 format/output contract confirms those formats and extensions. A credential-free, network-isolated boundary reproduction with successful scanner fixtures returned baseline=0, PR=1 for both formats. Use exact comma-delimited membership for the standalone json format and add both regressions. The existing substring-based autofix behavior predates this PR; this finding concerns the newly unconditional report check.
Reviewed head 83e2342c8ba2d5985875de989a534bd887259e0d against main at 6a527186fc87c668469fe8b9333b251ffc4eaed8. Immediately before submission the PR remained open, non-draft and mergeable, with both commits unchanged and no human reviews or inline threads to duplicate.
Necessity: #85 documents root-owned 0600 reports; the target still runs Docker without --user. Matching the runner identity fixes the producer/consumer boundary without weakening confidentiality. Capturing scanner status, private temporary files, cleanup, and preserving failed scan status are sound. No other material blocker found across the nine changed files; independent architecture review identifies the format guard as a blocker.
History: merged #84 fixes SARIF paths and is preserved; open #88 updates the uploader and is complementary. Merged #3 explicitly approved non-root execution. #61, #71 and #50 concern missing/empty reports or Helm attribution, not this ownership fix. Closed #7 was explicitly replaced by #9; #44 has no recorded rejection of this approach. #20 reverted an executable-bit regression, not non-root execution. No duplicate/superseding ownership fix found. Search covered all 65 PRs and 23 issues plus repository search for SARIF, permissions and entrypoint symbols; this does not cover private/unindexed discussions or all forks.
Validation: inspected scripts before executing in Bubblewrap with cleared environment, network isolation, read-only source and ephemeral writable storage. bash tests/entrypoint_test.sh: 19/19; bash tests/action_test.sh: 27/27; bash tests/report_test.sh: 33/33. The report suite against main's entrypoint fails 10/33 assertions. Shell syntax and git diff --check pass. ShellCheck unavailable; real CLI/container tests not rerun locally. Latest test CI confirms all six container cases pass. Hosted configuration and image logs confirm completed SARIF uploads after threshold failures. Autofix CI successfully uploads both results.sarif and results.json, closing the description's stated hosted JSON-upload gap. Those checks do not cover SBOM-only formats.

Request standalone JSON for every autofix scan.
If fixFiles is true and format is cyclonedx-json or spdx-json, this substring check treats the format as json and does not add a standalone json token. The exact-token check at Line 183 then leaves json_file unset. kubescape fix receives an empty report path instead of a JSON scan report. Match complete format tokens when deciding whether to append json. The new tests establish both format names as supported scan inputs. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Reject JSON that is not a SARIF report.
If the scanner writes {"runs":[]} and exits successfully, normalization succeeds and replaces the report. The report lacks the required SARIF version property, so a consumer can reject it.
Validate the SARIF structure before replacing the report. Add a regression case for this input and update the valid test fixtures.

🟡 Changes recommended
Autofix can receive an empty report filename with CycloneDX/SPDX JSON output, while rootless Docker UID handling can leave the workspace unwritable or reports unreadable by the runner.
This PR addresses #85 by keeping scan reports private while making them accessible to downstream runner steps. It also improves report finalization while preserving the SARIF path correction from #84.
Changes:
Run scans with the runner’s UID/GID and a writable container HOME.
Finalize reports before returning scanner failures, use private temporary files, and propagate report-processing and autofix errors.
Add regression coverage and exercise the checked-out action in example workflows.

Standard GitHub-hosted and rootful Docker runners require --user "$(id -u):$(id -g)" so 0600 reports created inside the container are owned by the invoking runner user (see #85 and approved approach in #3). Rootless Docker userns remapping is out of scope for this fix.
- Match json as a complete comma-delimited token in both autofix format injection and finalization report check
- Add regression tests for cyclonedx-json, spdx-json, and autofix with cyclonedx-json
