# Bandit Python SAST
## Overview
Bandit is a security-focused static analysis tool for Python that identifies common security vulnerabilities and coding anti-patterns. It parses Python code into Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) and executes security plugins to detect issues like hardcoded credentials, SQL injection, command injection, weak cryptography, and insecure API usage. Bandit provides actionable reports with severity classifications aligned to industry security standards.
## Quick Start
Scan a Python file or directory for security vulnerabilities:
```bash
# Install Bandit
pip install bandit
# Scan single file
bandit suspicious_file.py
# Scan entire directory recursively
bandit -r /path/to/python/project
# Generate JSON report
bandit -r project/ -f json -o bandit_report.json
# Scan with custom config
bandit -r project/ -c .bandit.yaml
```
## Core Workflow
### Step 1: Install and Configure Bandit
Install Bandit via pip:
```bash
pip install bandit
```
Create a configuration file `.bandit` or `.bandit.yaml` to customize scans:
```yaml
# .bandit.yaml
exclude_dirs:
- /tests/
- /venv/
- /.venv/
- /node_modules/
skips:
- B101 # Skip assert_used checks in test files
tests:
- B201 # Flask app run with debug=True
- B301 # Pickle usage
- B601 # Shell injection
- B602 # Shell=True in subprocess
```
### Step 2: Execute Security Scan
Run Bandit against Python codebase:
```bash
# Basic scan with severity threshold
bandit -r . -ll # Report only medium/high severity
# Comprehensive scan with detailed output
bandit -r . -f json -o report.json -v
# Scan with confidence filtering
bandit -r . -i # Show only high confidence findings
# Exclude specific tests
bandit -r . -s B101,B601
```
### Step 3: Analyze Results
Bandit reports findings with:
- **Issue Type**: Vulnerability category (e.g., hardcoded_password, sql_injection)
- **Severity**: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH
- **Confidence**: LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH
- **CWE**: Common Weakness Enumeration reference
- **Location**: File path and line number
Example output:
```
>> Issue: [B105:hardcoded_password_string] Possible hardcoded password: 'admin123'
Severity: Medium Confidence: Medium
CWE: CWE-259 (Use of Hard-coded Password)
Location: app/config.py:12
```
### Step 4: Prioritize Findings
Focus remediation efforts using this priority matrix:
1. **Critical**: HIGH severity + HIGH confidence
2. **High**: HIGH severity OR MEDIUM severity + HIGH confidence
3. **Medium**: MEDIUM severity + MEDIUM confidence
4. **Low**: LOW severity OR LOW confidence
### Step 5: Remediate Vulnerabilities
For each finding, consult the bundled `references/remediation_guide.md` for secure coding patterns. Common remediation strategies:
- **Hardcoded Secrets (B105, B106)**: Use environment variables or secret management services
- **SQL Injection (B608)**: Use parameterized queries with SQLAlchemy or psycopg2
- **Command Injection (B602, B605)**: Avoid `shell=True`, use `shlex.split()` for argument parsing
- **Weak Cryptography (B303, B304)**: Replace MD5/SHA1 with SHA256/SHA512 or bcrypt for passwords
- **Insecure Deserialization (B301)**: Avoid pickle, use JSON or MessagePack with schema validation
### Step 6: Integrate into CI/CD
Add Bandit to CI/CD pipelines to enforce security gates:
```yaml
# .github/workflows/security-scan.yml
name: Security Scan
on: [push, pull_request]
jobs:
bandit:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-python@v4
with:
python-version: '3.11'
- name: Install Bandit
run: pip install bandit
- name: Run Bandit
run: bandit -r . -f json -o bandit-report.json
- name: Check for high severity issues
run: bandit -r . -ll -f txt || exit 1
```
Use the bundled script `scripts/bandit_analyzer.py` for enhanced reporting with OWASP mapping.
## Security Considerations
- **Sensitive Data Handling**: Bandit reports may contain code snippets with hardcoded credentials. Ensure reports are stored securely and access is restricted. Use `--no-code` flag to exclude code snippets from reports.
- **Access Control**: Run Bandit in sandboxed CI/CD environments with read-only access to source code. Restrict write permissions to prevent tampering with security configurations.
- **Audit Logging**: Log all Bandit executions with timestamps, scan scope, findings count, and operator identity for security auditing and compliance purposes.
- **Compliance**: Bandit supports SOC2, PCI-DSS, and GDPR compliance by identifying security weaknesses. Document scan frequency, remediation timelines, and exception approvals for audit trails.
- **False Positives**: Review LOW confidence findings manually. Use inline `# nosec` comments sparingly and document justifications in code review processes.
## Bundled Resources
### Scripts (`scripts/`)
- `bandit_analyzer.py` - Enhanced Bandit wrapper that parses JSON output, maps findings to OWASP Top 10, generates HTML reports, and integrates with ticketing systems. Use for comprehensive security reporting.
### References (`references/`)
- `remediation_guide.md` - Detailed secure coding patterns for common Bandit findings, including code examples for SQLAlchemy parameterization, secure subprocess usage, and cryptographic best practices. Consult when remediating specific vulnerability types.
- `cwe_owasp_mapping.md` - Complete mapping between Bandit issue codes, CWE identifiers, and OWASP Top 10 categories. Use for security framework alignment and compliance reporting.
### Assets (`assets/`)
- `bandit_config.yaml` - Production-ready Bandit configuration with optimized test selection, exclusion patterns for common false positives, and severity thresholds. Use as baseline configuration for projects.
- `pre-commit-config.yaml` - Pre-commit hook configuration for Bandit integration. Prevents commits with HIGH severity findings.
## Common Patterns
### Pattern 1: Baseline Security Scan
Establish security baseline for legacy codebases:
```bash
# Generate baseline report
bandit -r . -f json -o baseline.json
# Compare future scans against baseline
bandit -r . -f json -o current.json
diff <(jq -S . baseline.json) <(jq -S . current.json)
```
### Pattern 2: Security Gating in Pull Requests
Block merges with HIGH severity findings:
```bash
# Exit with error if HIGH severity issues found
bandit -r . -lll -f txt
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "HIGH severity security issues detected - blocking merge"
exit 1
fi
```
### Pattern 3: Progressive Security Hardening
Incrementally increase security standards:
```bash
# Phase 1: Block only CRITICAL (HIGH severity + HIGH confidence)
bandit -r . -ll -i
# Phase 2: Block HIGH severity
bandit -r . -ll
# Phase 3: Block MEDIUM and above
bandit -r . -l
```
### Pattern 4: Suppressing False Positives
Document exceptions inline with justification:
```python
# Example: Suppressing pickle warning for internal serialization
import pickle # nosec B301 - Internal cache, not user input
def load_cache(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
return pickle.load(f) # nosec B301
```
## Integration Points
- **CI/CD**: Integrate as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins pipeline stage, or pre-commit hook. Use `scripts/bandit_analyzer.py` for enhanced reporting.
- **Security Tools**: Combine with Semgrep for additional SAST coverage, Safety for dependency scanning, and SonarQube for code quality metrics.
- **SDLC**: Execute during development (pre-commit), code review (PR checks), and release gates (pipeline stage). Establish baseline scans for legacy code and enforce strict checks for new code.
- **Ticketing Integration**: Use `scripts/bandit_analyzer.py` to automatically create Jira/GitHub issues for HIGH severity findings with remediation guidance.
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Too Many False Positives
**Solution**:
1. Use confidence filtering: `bandit -r . -i` (HIGH confidence only)
2. Exclude test files: `bandit -r . --exclude /tests/`
3. Customize `.bandit.yaml` to skip specific tests for known safe patterns
4. Review and suppress with inline `# nosec` comments with justification
### Issue: Scan Performance on Large Codebases
**Solution**:
1. Exclude dependencies: Add `/venv/`, `/.venv/`, `/site-packages/` to `.bandit.yaml` exclude_dirs
2. Use multiprocessing: Bandit automatically parallelizes for directories
3. Scan only changed files in CI/CD: `git diff --name-only origin/main | grep '.py$' | xargs bandit`
### Issue: Missing Specific Vulnerability Types
**Solution**:
1. Check enabled tests: `bandit -l` (list all tests)
2. Ensure tests are not skipped in `.bandit.yaml`
3. Combine with Semgrep for additional coverage (e.g., business logic vulnerabilities)
4. Update Bandit regularly: `pip install --upgrade bandit`
### Issue: Integration with Pre-commit Hooks
**Solution**:
Use the bundled `assets/pre-commit-config.yaml`:
```yaml
- repo: https://github.com/PyCQA/bandit
rev: '1.7.5'
hooks:
- id: bandit
args: ['-ll', '--recursive', '--configfile', '.bandit.yaml']
```
Install hooks: `pre-commit install`
