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:
-
Ask for input location:
- "What is the path to the scan results?" (JSON files or directory)
-
Ask for output preferences:
- "Which format do you need?" (HTML, PDF, DOCX, or all)
- "Which template should I use?" (Executive, Technical, Compliance)
-
Confirm customization:
- "Should I apply false positive filtering?" (recommended: yes)
- "What minimum severity level?" (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, INFO)
-
Generate reports:
- Parse scan result JSON files
- Apply context-aware analysis
- Map to security frameworks
- Generate requested format(s)
- Save to output directory
-
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:
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 sectionsconfig/severity_rules.json: Context-aware severity adjustment rulesconfig/branding.json: Company logo, colors, footer textreferences/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:
{
"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/filterreport.pdf: Professional document with brandingreport.docx: Editable Microsoft Word documentreport_summary.json: Machine-readable statistics
False Positive Reduction
Based on analysis showing 85-90% false positive rate in raw scanner output, apply intelligent filtering:
- Pattern Recognition: Identify safe patterns (clearing innerHTML, static HTML)
- Context Analysis: Check for user input in data flow
- Plugin Type Detection: Web UI plugins expect DOM manipulation
- Taint Tracking: Follow data from source to sink
- 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:
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:
python3 scripts/generate_report.py \
--input scan_results.json \
--output reports/ \
--formats html,pdf,docx \
--template technical \
--exclude-false-positives
Generate compliance report:
python3 scripts/generate_report.py \
--input results/ \
--output compliance_report.docx \
--format docx \
--template compliance \
--config custom_branding.json
Best Practices
- Always apply false positive filtering for cleaner reports
- Use Executive template for management/C-suite audiences
- Use Technical template for security engineers
- Use Compliance template for auditors and regulators
- Include company branding for customer-facing reports
- Generate all three formats for maximum flexibility
- Archive reports with scan dates for historical tracking
