Adds a streaming summary.Inspect API for aggregate evidence from SARIF logs without constructing the generated model. Input bytes, tools, and distinct values are bounded.

The summary resolves effective result levels, including CodeQL rule defaults, and records rules, baselines, taxa, occurrence counts, and suppression state. It handles the official status field and the older state spelling.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added bounded inspection of SARIF input, with configurable limits for input size, unique values, and tools. Default limits apply when options are zero.
    • Summaries report counts for runs, results, occurrences, tools, rules, levels, baseline states, taxa, and suppressions. Result levels use available result and rule information.
    • Summaries indicate when unique-value or tool limits are reached. Invalid input and exceeded limits are reported as errors.
  • Documentation
    • Added README guidance and an example for using bounded summaries.

Walkthrough

The new summary package parses SARIF input and returns bounded aggregate counts for runs, results, tools, and result attributes. It validates required fields, resolves rule references and effective levels, and reports truncation and parsing errors.

Changes: SARIF Summary

Layer / File(s) Summary
SARIF inspection and aggregation
summary/summary.go, README.md
Adds the Inspect API, summary types, default limits, SARIF validation, aggregate counting, rule resolution, and error handling. The README documents the API, options, aggregate fields, and truncation behavior.
Inspection behavior validation
summary/summary_test.go
Adds tests for aggregate counts, rule and level resolution, suppression counts, unique-value and tool limits, byte limits, reader errors, and invalid or incomplete SARIF.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 05983

No merge-blocking issue is established for the bounded summary API.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 05983

The new API limits input size and retained aggregates, but its recursive handling of unknown fields has no nesting limit. A deeply nested log could exhaust resources or terminate an application using the API. Exposure depends on callers accepting untrusted logs; no deployed service caller was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Byte limits do not provide a safe nesting bound for unknown-field traversal. Attacker-controlled nested objects or arrays drive recursive skipValue calls and growing decoder state, potentially exhausting resources or terminating the calling process before an ordinary parsing error is returned. Exact behavior on the selected Go toolchain remains unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — An attacker would need control of a log supplied to Inspect. The supported failure boundary is the adopting process and work sharing that process, rather than a demonstrated tenant, service, credential, or data-store boundary. The public-API-labelled test demonstrates external-package invocation, not deployed service exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A deeply nested value under an unrecognized field reaches recursive skipValue. The inspected standard library grows Token's delimiter stack without applying Decode's scanner depth guard. Compact nesting can fit millions of levels within the default byte allowance, creating a resource-exhaustion path. The exact fatal threshold and selected-toolchain behavior were not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The relevant boundary is caller-supplied bytes entering the parser. Byte limits, retained-value limits, trailing-token rejection, and error propagation constrain that processing. Unknown values nevertheless enter recursive traversal without an explicit depth check.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Independent calls do not share aggregation state, limiting cross-call state contamination. Normal parsing and reader failures return errors with partial data, and the documented example rejects those errors. These are useful containment properties but do not impose a recursion budget.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Enforce an explicit nesting budget before descending into unknown values and return a controlled error when it is exceeded. An iterative traversal should also bound its nesting state. Validate this boundary against the selected Go toolchain independently of byte and aggregate-cardinality limits.

Explanation

The title "Add bounded SARIF summaries" matches the main change. The PR adds a summary package with Inspect, which parses SARIF into bounded aggregate counts (byte, unique-value, and tool limits). The title is short, specific, and states the primary feature without vague terms or file lists.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 34 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

470-484: Trivial · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Replace the linear tool scan with a set lookup.

addTool scans summary.Tools for every tool in every run. The scan has up to MaxTools entries (default 1,000). The input limit bounds bytes, not CPU. A 64 MiB log can hold about two million minimal runs. Each run with a new tool name triggers a full scan after the limit is reached. That is billions of struct comparisons for one Inspect call.

Track seen tools in an unexported map[Tool]struct{} on Summary. Initialize the map in newSummary. Use it for the duplicate check before the limit check.
