name: New security rule request
about: Propose a new scanner rule
title: '[Rule] '
labels: enhancement, rule-request
assignees: ''
---

## Rule summary
A one-line description of the issue this rule would detect.

## Why is this a security risk?
Explain the threat model. What can an attacker do if this misconfiguration exists?

## Detection logic
How should the rule detect this? What field(s) in the MCP config would it inspect?

## Suggested severity
- [ ] CRITICAL
- [ ] HIGH
- [ ] MEDIUM
- [ ] LOW
- [ ] INFO

## Remediation
What should a developer do to fix this finding?

## References

### Added
- Initial scaffold: project structure, TypeScript configuration, and package metadata.
- Added real scanner implementation with 8 security rules, CLI, Jest test suite, ESLint config.
- Auth rules: NO_AUTH, WEAK_API_KEY, MISSING_TLS
- Injection rules: TOOL_DESC_INJECTION, UNSAFE_TOOL_OUTPUT_PATH
- Config rules: WILDCARD_CORS, VERBOSE_ERRORS, OVERPRIVILEGED_TOOL
- CLI entry point (`mcp-security-scanner <config-path-or-url>`)
- Jest test suite with 35 tests across scanner and scorer
- ESLint + @typescript-eslint wired up with zero warnings
- Added 5 new runtime security rules (`src/rules/runtime-rules.ts`):
- `INSECURE_TRANSPORT` (HIGH): fires when `transport.url` uses unencrypted `ws://`
- `MISSING_RATE_LIMIT` (MEDIUM): fires when `rateLimit` is absent or `enabled: false`
- `DEBUG_MODE_ENABLED` (LOW): fires when `debug: true` is set
- `EXPOSED_SECRETS` (CRITICAL): scans all raw string values for common secret patterns (OpenAI API key, GitHub PAT, AWS access key, password assignments)
- `UNRESTRICTED_FILE_ACCESS` (HIGH): fires when a tool has `filesystem:*` or both `filesystem:read` and `filesystem:write` permissions
- Added SARIF 2.1.0 output support (`src/sarif.ts`):
- `toSarif(report, configPath?)` converts a `SecurityReport` to a minimal SARIF 2.1.0 document
- Severity mapping: critical/high → `error`, medium → `warning`, low/info → `note`
- Includes tool driver metadata and per-result artifact locations
- Enhanced CLI with rich flag parsing (`src/cli.ts`):
- `--format=json|sarif|table` (default: json)
- `--exit-code` — exit 1 on any finding regardless of score
- `--fail-on=critical|high|medium|low` — force fail at a minimum severity level
- `--rule=RULE_ID` — filter to specific rules (repeatable)
- `--help` / `-h` — display usage information
- `--format=table` renders an ASCII table sorted by severity with a summary line
- Implemented `failOn` in `scan()` (`src/scanner.ts`): forces `passed=false` when any finding meets or exceeds the configured severity threshold
- Updated `ParsedMcpConfig` with `rawStrings?: string[]` field populated from all string values in the raw config object (used by `EXPOSED_SECRETS` rule)
- Added example configuration files:
- `examples/secure-config.json` — a passing config with auth, HTTPS/WSS, scoped CORS, rate limiting, no debug
- `examples/vulnerable-config.json` — a deliberately failing config triggering 8+ rules
- `examples/minimal-config.json` — bare minimum valid config with just a `serverUrl`
- Expanded test suite to 70 tests (added `sarif.test.ts` and new cases in `scanner.test.ts`)

# Security Policy

## Supported Versions

During incubation this package has not yet reached a stable release. No versions are currently patched for security vulnerabilities.

| Version | Supported |
|---------|-----------|
| 0.0.x | Incubation — not yet supported |

## Reporting a Vulnerability

**Please do NOT open a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities.**

Email **security@hailbytes.com** with:
- A description of the vulnerability and its impact
- Steps to reproduce (or a minimal proof-of-concept)
- Any suggested remediation you may have

You can expect an acknowledgement within **48 hours** and a status update within **7 days**.

## Security Considerations When Using This Tool

- **CI integration**: Use `--exit-code` to fail pipelines on any finding, not just critical ones
- **SARIF upload**: Use `--format=sarif` and upload to GitHub Code Scanning for centralised tracking
- **Do not scan production secrets**: Example configs are for testing only — never put real API keys or credentials in config files checked into source control
- **Keep updated**: Security rules evolve; re-run the scanner after each new release
