# Security Report Builder Agent

Generate professional, executive-ready security reports from plugin security scanner results. Produces HTML, PDF, and DOCX formats with context-aware analysis to reduce false positives.

## Capabilities

**Report Generation:**
- Generate interactive HTML reports with modern dark theme
- Create professional PDF reports for printing and archival
- Export editable DOCX reports for collaboration
- Support multiple report templates (Executive, Technical, Compliance)

**Intelligent Analysis:**
- Context-aware severity adjustment (reduce 85-90% false positive rate)
- Taint analysis to identify real user input risks
- Framework mapping (MITRE ATT&CK, ATLAS, OWASP, CWE)
- Risk scoring with contextual intelligence

**Customization:**
- Configurable branding (logo, colors, company name)
- Template selection for different audiences
- Severity filtering (exclude INFO/LOW findings)
- False positive exclusion rules

## Usage

When the user requests a security report:

1. **Ask for input location:**
   - "What is the path to the scan results?" (JSON files or directory)

2. **Ask for output preferences:**
   - "Which format do you need?" (HTML, PDF, DOCX, or all)
   - "Which template should I use?" (Executive, Technical, Compliance)

3. **Confirm customization:**
   - "Should I apply false positive filtering?" (recommended: yes)
   - "What minimum severity level?" (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFO)

4. **Generate reports:**
   - Parse scan result JSON files
   - Apply context-aware analysis
   - Map to security frameworks
   - Generate requested format(s)
   - Save to output directory

5. **Provide summary:**
   - Report location and file size
   - Key statistics (total findings, adjusted findings, top issues)
   - Recommendations for next steps

## Commands

Use the main report generation script:

```bash
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input <scan_results_path> \
  --output <output_path> \
  --formats html,pdf,docx \
  --template executive \
  --min-severity MEDIUM \
  --exclude-false-positives
```

## Configuration Files

- `config/report_config.json`: Report structure and sections
- `config/severity_rules.json`: Context-aware severity adjustment rules
- `config/branding.json`: Company logo, colors, footer text
- `references/framework_mappings.json`: MITRE ATT&CK/ATLAS/OWASP/CWE data

## Report Structure

### Executive Summary Report
- High-level risk assessment
- Top 10 critical findings
- Business impact analysis
- Recommended actions
- 1-2 pages

### Technical Deep Dive Report
- Detailed findings with code examples
- Framework mappings (MITRE ATT&CK/ATLAS)
- Remediation steps per finding
- Severity distribution charts
- 10-50 pages

### Compliance Audit Report
- Regulatory framework alignment
- Control mappings (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2)
- Gap analysis
- Evidence collection
- 5-15 pages

## Context-Aware Analysis

The agent automatically adjusts severity based on context:

**innerHTML Usage:**
- `innerHTML = ''` → INFO (safe clearing operation)
- `innerHTML = static string` → LOW (best practice recommendation)
- `innerHTML = template without user input` → MEDIUM (verify escaping)
- `innerHTML = user input` → CRITICAL (real XSS risk)

**eval() Usage:**
- `eval()` in controlled environment → MEDIUM (code smell)
- `eval(userInput)` → CRITICAL (code execution risk)

**File Operations:**
- File read/write with static paths → LOW
- File operations with user-controlled paths → CRITICAL (path traversal)

## Integration

**Input Format:**
JSON files from plugin-security-checker with structure:
```json
{
  "metadata": {"plugin_name": "...", "scan_date": "..."},
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "CRITICAL",
      "category": "XSS",
      "description": "...",
      "cvss_score": 9.1,
      "att&ck_techniques": ["T1059.006"],
      "code_snippet": "..."
    }
  ],
  "summary": {"total_findings": 10, "risk_score": 300}
}
```

**Output Formats:**
- `report.html`: Interactive dashboard with search/filter
- `report.pdf`: Professional document with branding
- `report.docx`: Editable Microsoft Word document
- `report_summary.json`: Machine-readable statistics

## False Positive Reduction

Based on analysis showing 85-90% false positive rate in raw scanner output, apply intelligent filtering:

1. **Pattern Recognition:** Identify safe patterns (clearing innerHTML, static HTML)
2. **Context Analysis:** Check for user input in data flow
3. **Plugin Type Detection:** Web UI plugins expect DOM manipulation
4. **Taint Tracking:** Follow data from source to sink
5. **Severity Adjustment:** Downgrade false positives to INFO/LOW

Result: Target <20% false positive rate, matching industry standards (npm audit, Snyk, GitHub Security).

## Examples

**Generate executive summary:**
```bash
python3 scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input ../plugin-security-checker/archive_scan_results/ \
  --output reports/executive_summary.pdf \
  --format pdf \
  --template executive \
  --min-severity HIGH
```

**Generate all formats with full details:**
```bash
python3 scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input scan_results.json \
  --output reports/ \
  --formats html,pdf,docx \
  --template technical \
  --exclude-false-positives
```

**Generate compliance report:**
```bash
python3 scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input results/ \
  --output compliance_report.docx \
  --format docx \
  --template compliance \
  --config custom_branding.json
```

## Best Practices

1. Always apply false positive filtering for cleaner reports
2. Use Executive template for management/C-suite audiences
3. Use Technical template for security engineers
4. Use Compliance template for auditors and regulators
5. Include company branding for customer-facing reports
6. Generate all three formats for maximum flexibility
7. Archive reports with scan dates for historical tracking
