Reviewer Prompt

Always configure security scanning tools with comprehensive coverage and readable output to maximize vulnerability detection. This includes:

  1. Enable scanning across all files: Use flags like --enable-secret-scan-all-files to ensure no potential vulnerability is missed.

  2. Configure Docker-based scanners with proper TTY support: When running security tools in containers, add the --tty flag for better output handling and readability.

  3. Enable appropriate protection mechanisms: Ensure protective measures like Web Application Firewalls are properly configured in your infrastructure code.

Example:

# Pre-commit hook with proper configuration
-   id: checkov_secrets
    name: Checkov Secrets
    description: This hook looks for secrets with checkov.
    entry: checkov -d . --framework secrets --enable-secret-scan-all-files

-   id: checkov_container
    name: Checkov
    description: This hook runs checkov.
    entry: bridgecrew/checkov:latest --tty -d .

When writing infrastructure as code, ensure that protection mechanisms like WAF are explicitly enabled:

aws_cdk.aws_cloudfront.CfnDistribution(
    distribution_config={"webAclId": my_web_acl_id}
)

These practices help ensure that security vulnerabilities are consistently detected and addressed before deployment.
