Malicious packages don't create alerts

[alex-mcgovern]

Describe the issue

Malicious packages are correctly detected and returned in the LLM response, with links to insights, e.g.

\\n\\n**Warning:** CodeGate detected one or more malicious, deprecated or archived packages.\\n- Pkg 1: [https://www.insight.stacklok.com/report/pypi/invokehttp](https://www.insight.stacklok.com/report/pypi/invokehttp)\\n\\n*

Alerts for these malicious packages do not seem to be created in the db, and then not returned by the /alerts endpoints

For the prompt provided as an example, I did see some info level alerts created in the DB, but nothing critical with a non-null trigger_string

Example prompt from sqlite db

Here are the security issues and recommendations:\\n\\n### Issues Identified:\\n1. **Sensitive Information in Plain Text**:\\n   - The file contains sensitive information such as `GITHUB_TOKEN`, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` in plain text. This is a significant security risk as it can lead to unauthorized access if the file is exposed.\\n\\n### Recommendations:\\n1. **Environment Variables**:\\n   - Store sensitive information in environment variables instead of configuration files. This reduces the risk of accidental exposure through version control or other means.\\n\\n2. **Secrets Management**:\\n   - Use a secrets management service such as AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault to securely store and access sensitive information.\\n\\n3. **Access Control**:\\n   - Ensure that the configuration file has restricted access permissions. Only authorized users and processes should be able to read the file.\\n\\n4. **Encryption**:\\n   - If storing sensitive information in files is unavoidable, ensure that the file is encrypted and only decrypted at runtime.\\n\\n### Example of Using Environment Variables:\\nInstead of storing sensitive information in [`conf.ini`](conf.ini ), you can use environment variables in your application:\\n\\n```python\\nimport os\\n\\nGITHUB_TOKEN = os.getenv('GITHUB_TOKEN')\\nAWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = os.getenv('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID')\\nAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = os.getenv('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')\\n```\\n\\nAnd set the environment variables in your system or deployment environment:\\n\\n```sh\\nexport GITHUB_TOKEN=\\\"your_github_token\\\"\\nexport AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\\\"your_aws_access_key_id\\\"\\nexport AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\\\"your_aws_secret_access_key\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Example of Using a Secrets Management Service:\\nIf you are using AWS Secrets Manager, you can retrieve secrets as follows:\\n\\n```python\\nimport boto3\\nimport os\\n\\ndef get_secret(secret_name):\\n    client = boto3.client('secretsmanager')\\n    response = client.get_secret_value(SecretId=secret_name)\\n    return response['SecretString']\\n\\nGITHUB_TOKEN = get_secret('GITHUB_TOKEN')\\nAWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = get_secret('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID')\\nAWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = get_secret('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY')\\n```\\n\\nWould you like assistance in implementing these recommendations?\", \"name\": \"unknown\"}, {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"analyse this file\"}, {\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": \"\\ud83d\\udee1\\ufe0f [CodeGate prevented 2 secrets](http://localhost:9090/?search=codegate-secrets) from being leaked by redacting them.\\n\\n**Warning:** CodeGate detected one or more malicious, deprecated or archived packages.\\n- Pkg 1: [https://www.insight.stacklok.com/report/pypi/invokehttp](https://www.insight.stacklok.com/report/pypi/invokehttp)\\n\\n**CodeGate Security Analysis**\\n\\nThis file is a simple Flask web application with basic routes and a SQLite database setup.

Here is a detailed analysis:\\n\\n### Key Points and Security Issues\\n\\n1. **User Input Handling**:\\n   - The script takes multiple user inputs from the command line ([`process.argv`](/Users/alexmcgovern/Library/Caches/typescript/5.7/node_modules/@types/node/globals.d.ts )).\\n   - These inputs are directly passed to the `coloramajs` library without any validation or sanitization.\\n\\n2. **File Reading**:\\n   - The script reads a configuration file specified by the user ([`configPath`](javascript/App.js )) and parses it as JSON.\\n   - There is no validation or sanitization of the file content.\\n\\n3. **Hardcoded Secret**:\\n   - The script contains a hardcoded secret key ([`keyval`](javascript/App.js )), which is a security risk.\\n\\n### Security Issues Identified\\n\\n1. **Lack of Input Validation and Sanitization**:\\n   - Directly using user inputs without validation or sanitization can lead to injection attacks or other security vulnerabilities.\\n\\n2. **Hardcoded Secret**:\\n   - Storing sensitive information such as secret keys directly in the source code is a security risk. It can lead to unauthorized access if the code is exposed.\\n\\n### Recommendations\\n\\n1. **Input Validation and Sanitization**:\\n   - Validate and sanitize all user inputs before using them. This can prevent injection attacks and other security issues.\\n\\n2. **Remove Hardcoded Secrets**:\\n   - Store sensitive information such as secret keys in environment variables or use a secrets management service.\\n\\n### Example Changes\\n\\n#### Input Validation and Sanitization\\nUse a library like `validator` to validate and sanitize user inputs:\\n\\n```javascript\\nconst fs =

Additionally, it has been identified as a malicious package and should be removed.\\n\\n### Recommendations\\n1. **Use a Stronger Hashing Algorithm**:\\n   Replace MD5 with bcrypt for password hashing.\\n\\n2. **Input Validation**:\\n   Add input validation for the `/api/login` route.\\n\\n3. **Database Connection Management**:\\n   Use a context manager for database connections.\\n\\n4. **Remove Unused and Malicious Import**:\\n   Remove the [`invokehttp`](python/app.py ) import and uninstall the package.\\n\\n### Example Changes\\n\\n#### Replace MD5 with bcrypt:\\n```python\\nfrom flask import Flask, request, jsonify\\nimport bcrypt\\nimport sqlite3\\n\\napp = Flask(__name__)\\n\\n# Database setup (for demonstration purposes)\\ndef init_db():\\n    conn = sqlite3.connect('db.db')\\n    cursor = conn.cursor()\\n    cursor.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT, password TEXT)')\\n    conn.commit()\\n    conn.close()\\n\\n@app.route('/api/data', methods=['GET'])\\ndef get_data():\\n    return {\\\"data\\\": \\\"This is some insecure data!\\\"}\\n\\n@app.route('/api/login', methods=['POST'])\\ndef login():\\n    username = request.form['username']\\n    password = request.form['password']\\n    hashed_password = bcrypt.hashpw(password.encode(), bcrypt.gensalt())\\n    print(f\\\"User {username} logged in with password hash: {hashed_password}\\\")\\n    return jsonify({\\\"message\\\": \\\"Logged in!\\\"})\\n\\ndef get_user_by_username(username):\\n    conn = sqlite3.connect('db.db')\\n    cursor = conn.cursor()\\n    cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?', (username,))\\n    user = cursor.fetchone()\\n    conn.close()\\n    return user\\n```\\n\\n#### Remove [`invokehttp`](python/app.py ):\\n```sh\\npip uninstall invokehttp\\n```\\n\\nWould you like assistance in implementing these changes?\"}, {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"analyse this file\"}, {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"# FILE:APP.PY CONTEXT\\nUser's current visible code:\\nExcerpt from app.py, lines 1 to 39:\\n```python\\nfrom flask import Flask, request, jsonify  # type: ignore\\nimport hashlib\\nimport sqlite3\\nimport invokehttp  # type: ignore\\n\\napp = Flask(__name__)\\n\\n# Database setup (for demonstration purposes)\\ndef init_db():\\n    conn = sqlite3.connect('db.db')\\n    cursor = conn.cursor()\\n    cursor.execute('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, username TEXT, password TEXT)') #nocg\\n    conn.commit()\\n    conn.close()\\n\\n@app.route('/api/data', methods=['GET'])\\ndef get_data():\\n    # Insecure: No input validation\\n    return {\\\"data\\\": \\\"This is some insecure data!\\\"}\\n\\n\\n@app.route('/api/login', methods=['POST'])\\ndef login():\\n    username = request.form['username']\\n    password = request.form['password'] #nocg\\n    hashed_password = hashlib.md5(password.encode()).hexdigest()  #nocg\\n    print(f\\\"User {username} logged in with password hash: {hashed_password}\\\") #nocg\\n    return jsonify({\\\"message\\\": \\\"Logged in!\\\"})\\n\\n\\n# code can be applied\\n\\ndef get_user_by_username(username):\\n    conn = sqlite3.connect('db.db')\\n    cursor = conn.cursor()\\n    cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?', (username,))\\n    user = cursor.fetchone()\\n    conn.close()\\n    return user\\n```\"}, {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"analyse this file\"}, {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"# FILE:APP.PY CONTEXT\\nUser's active selection:\\nExcerpt from app.py, lines 4 to 4:\\n```python\\nimport invokehttp  # type: ignore\\n```\"}, {\"role\": \"user\", \"content\": \"analyse this file\"}], \"model\": \"gpt-4o-mini\", \"temperature\": 0.1, \"top_p\": 1, \"max_tokens\": 4096, \"stop\": [\";\"], \"n\": 1, \"stream\": true}",

Steps to Reproduce

• Ask the LLM to analyse the python/app.py file in the codegate-demonstration repo
• This should flag the import of invokehttp as a malicious package
• Look at the alerts table, or use the alerts endpoint and filter by triggery_category: "critical", e.g.

curl http://localhost:8989/api/v1/workspaces/default/alerts | jq '[.[] | select(.trigger_category == "critical")]'

• Note that there are no critical alerts related to the malicious package invokehttp

I believe that this actually related to an underlying issue with Git + LFS, as we touched on in this Discord thread.

Closing for now.
