Summary

Implemented Trivy-based security scanning for the Dockerfile.server image in the CI pipeline. The scan is configured to fail the build on any HIGH or CRITICAL severity vulnerabilities, preventing insecure images from being deployed to production.

Changes

  • Added security scan step to .forgejo/workflows/ci.yml docker job
  • Trivy is installed and executed after building the Dockerfile.server image
  • Scan results are displayed in CI job output with detailed vulnerability report
  • Build fails (non-zero exit) if HIGH or CRITICAL vulnerabilities are detected
  • Added BDD feature file and step definitions for security scanning verification

Acceptance Criteria

  • A CI pipeline step scans the Dockerfile.server image using Trivy
  • The scan is configured to fail the build on any HIGH or CRITICAL severity findings
  • The scan results are surfaced in the CI job output
  • The pipeline passes when no high/critical vulnerabilities are present
  • The pipeline fails (and blocks merge) when high/critical vulnerabilities are found

Closes #1927

This PR implements Trivy-based security scanning for the Dockerfile.server image per issue #1927. The implementation correctly addresses all acceptance criteria: Trivy is installed and run after the server image build, configured to fail on HIGH/CRITICAL findings, and scan results are surfaced in CI output.

However, there are several blocking issues that must be addressed before approval:

BLOCKING Issues:

  1. Insecure Trivy installation method: The curl | sh install of Trivy has no version pinning and no checksum/signature verification. This creates a supply chain risk — any compromise of the aquasecurity/trivy repo would inject arbitrary code into every CI run. Pin to a specific release tag and verify checksums (e.g., download the checksum signature file from GitHub releases).

  2. Missing Robot Framework integration test: Issue #1927 Definition of Done explicitly requires "Tests (Robot): Add integration test verifying the CI pipeline fails on a known-vulnerable image." This is absent.

  3. Changelog not updated: The PR requirements mandate changelog updates with one entry per commit.

  4. ISSUES CLOSED footer missing: Every commit should include ISSUES CLOSED: #1927 in its footer.

  5. No Type/ label applied to the PR: Exactly one Type/ label is required for merge.

Non-blocking Suggestions:

  1. Cache Trivy installation between CI runs (use a matrix/combined job approach) — currently ~30MB downloaded every run.
  2. CI documentation should describe the new security scanning step per issue subtask list.

CI GATE: unit_tests was failing (8m51s) and coverage was skipped. The underlying CI failures are pre-existing on master and not introduced by this PR. However per company policy all CI gates must pass before merge. These were not caused by the docker job changes.

PERFORMANCE SUGGESTION: Trivy (~30MB) is downloaded fresh on every CI run. Consider caching with a Docker layer or reusing the binary across runs.

Alternatively, install it as part of a pre-existing setup step shared by other docker job steps to avoid redundant downloads.

SECURITY BLOCKER: The Trivy install uses curl | sh with no version pinning or integrity verification. Any compromise of aquasecurity/trivy repo would inject arbitrary code into every CI run.

Suggestion: Pin to a specific Trivy release tag and verify checksums:

kver=0.56.2
curl -sfL https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy/releases/download/v${kver}/trivy_${kver}_Linux-64bit.tar.gz | tar xz -C /usr/local/bin

Or use the official checksum file from GitHub releases for integrity verification.

The BDD step definitions for Scenario 3 ("Pipeline fails on high-severity vulnerabilities") only check that strings like "trivy" and "docker" appear in the workflow content. They do not verify the actual semantic behavior — e.g., whether --exit-code 1 is paired with the HIGH,CRITICAL flag.

For more robust verification, consider checking that --exit-code 1 appears on the same line as the trivy image command.
