# Security Rule Template
#
# This template demonstrates how to structure security rules/policies.
# Adapt this template to your specific security tool (Semgrep, OPA, etc.)
#
# Rule Structure Best Practices:
# - Clear rule ID and metadata
# - Severity classification
# - Framework mappings (OWASP, CWE)
# - Remediation guidance
# - Example vulnerable and fixed code

    # Detection Pattern (example using Semgrep-style syntax)
    pattern-either:
      - pattern: |
          cursor.execute($SQL + $VAR)
      - pattern: |
          cursor.execute(f"... {$VAR} ...")
      - pattern: |
          cursor.execute("..." + $VAR + "...")

    # What to report when found
    message: |
      Potential SQL injection vulnerability detected. SQL query is constructed using
      string concatenation or f-strings with user input. This allows attackers to
      inject malicious SQL code.

      Use parameterized queries instead:
      - Python: cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", (user_id,))
      - JavaScript: db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1", [userId])

      See: https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/SQL_Injection

    # Suggested fix (auto-fix if supported)
    fix: |
      Use parameterized queries with placeholders

    # Example vulnerable code
    examples:
      - vulnerable: |
          # Vulnerable: String concatenation
          user_id = request.GET['id']
          query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = " + user_id
          cursor.execute(query)

      - fixed: |
          # Fixed: Parameterized query
          user_id = request.GET['id']
          query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?"
          cursor.execute(query, (user_id,))

      - pattern: |
          token = "..."

    pattern-not: |
      $VAR = ""

    message: |
      Potential hardcoded secret detected. Hardcoding credentials in source code
      is a critical security vulnerability that can lead to unauthorized access
      if the code is exposed.

      Use environment variables or a secrets management system instead:
      - Python: os.environ.get('API_KEY')
      - Node.js: process.env.API_KEY
      - Secrets Manager: AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc.

      See: https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/798.html

    examples:
      - vulnerable: |
          # Vulnerable: Hardcoded API key
          api_key = "sk-1234567890abcdef"
          api.authenticate(api_key)

      - fixed: |
          # Fixed: Environment variable
          import os
          api_key = os.environ.get('API_KEY')

    message: |
      Potential XSS vulnerability detected. Setting HTML content directly from
      user input without sanitization can allow attackers to inject malicious
      JavaScript code.

      Use one of these safe alternatives:
      - React: Use {userInput} for automatic escaping
      - DOMPurify: const clean = DOMPurify.sanitize(dirty);
      - Framework-specific sanitizers

      See: https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/xss/

    examples:
      - vulnerable: |
          // Vulnerable: Unsanitized HTML
          function UserComment({ comment }) {
            return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: comment}} />;

      Weak cryptographic algorithm detected (MD5 or SHA1). These algorithms are
      considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes.

# Usage Instructions:
#
# 1. Copy this template when creating new security rules
# 2. Update metadata fields with appropriate framework mappings
# 3. Customize detection patterns for your tool (Semgrep, OPA, etc.)
# 4. Provide clear remediation guidance in the message field
# 5. Include both vulnerable and fixed code examples
# 6. Test rules on real codebases before deployment
#
# Best Practices:
# - Map to multiple frameworks (OWASP, CWE, MITRE ATT&CK)
# - Include compliance standard references
# - Provide actionable remediation guidance
# - Show code examples (vulnerable vs. fixed)
# - Tune confidence levels to reduce false positives
# - Exclude test directories to reduce noise
