Ensure third-party artifacts and open-source libraries are verified

MediumLevel 1Automatedgitlab

Description

Ensure third-party artifacts and open-source libraries in use are trusted and verified. Verify third-party artifacts used in code are trusted and have not been infected by a malicious actor before use. This can be accomplished, for example, by comparing the checksum of the dependency to its checksum in a trusted source. If a difference arises, this may be a sign that someone interfered and added malicious code. If this dependency is used, it will infect the environment and could end in a massive breach, leaving the organization exposed to data leaks and more.

How it is checked

Audit method: Shell command

shell

command -v glab >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1
glab auth status >/dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1
proj=$(glab repo view -F json 2>/dev/null) || exit 1
printf "%s" "$proj" | grep -q '"id":' && echo compliant || echo non-compliant

Expected output: compliant

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Set third-party artifacts and open-source libraries to be verified.
