Resources overview

Jump into setup guides, feature references, reporting conventions, API documentation, methodology pages, and workflow-specific playbooks.

Repository scanning gives source findings the same operational treatment as runtime findings: scanner provenance, line-level evidence, remediation guidance, SARIF, GitHub annotations, and fix state.

Coverage

What does Resources overview test?

  • Everything needed to operate Pencheff
  • Jump into setup guides, feature references, reporting conventions, API documentation, methodology pages, and workflow-specific playbooks.
  • Dropdown section: Docs, references, and playbooks.
  • Semgrep OSS packs, Bandit, gosec, Brakeman, ESLint security, tree-sitter rules, and niche-language scaffolds.
  • Secret detection with gitleaks and suspicious-code indicators with YARA-style patterns.
  • GitHub repository connection, webhook-triggered scans, hardlink staging, gitignore-aware filtering, and default-deny controls.
  • SARIF and GitHub check run output so developers see findings where they work.
  • Auto-fix preparation for Semgrep autofix, SCA version bumps, and reviewer-friendly patch synthesis.
02

Execution

How does Pencheff run this?

  • Connect or register a repository and choose a branch, scan profile, and scanner policy.
  • Stage the source safely, fan out language-specific scanners, and capture raw scanner output.
  • Normalize results into repo findings with file, line, rule, severity, scanner, and remediation metadata.
  • Merge code results with SCA, IaC, secrets, and runtime context to reduce duplicate triage.
  • Send annotations, SARIF, reports, fix PRs, or dashboard tasks depending on the workflow.
03

Evidence

What evidence does this produce?

  • File path, line number, rule id, scanner name, confidence, language, and vulnerable snippet context.
  • Suggested fix, fixed-version data when applicable, and status across suppressions or rechecks.
  • GitHub check output, SARIF upload, comments, and links back into the finding record.
  • Cross-finding signals when a code pattern aligns with runtime exploitation.
04

Controls

How is this kept safe to run?

  • Scanner choices are explicit and permissively licensed where used in the repo pipeline.
  • Secrets are handled as findings rather than echoed into broad UI surfaces.
  • CI gates can be tuned by severity, reachability, policy, and target branch.
  • Generated fixes remain reviewer-owned and trace back to original scanner evidence.
