Goal

Block releases with unresolved high/critical container vulnerabilities.

Scope

  • Add image scanning job for backend/frontend images.
  • Fail workflow on high/critical findings (with explicit allowlist support).

Acceptance Criteria

  • CI fails on new high/critical vulnerabilities.
  • Allowlist process is documented and auditable.

NX-201 Completed

Implemented CI enforcement to prevent shipping releases with unresolved container risks.

What was delivered

  • Added container image security scanning for both:
    • backend
    • frontend
  • Integrated scan execution in CI with machine-readable outputs and human-readable summaries.
  • Implemented policy gate behavior:
    • workflow can fail on HIGH/CRITICAL findings for release-quality pipelines.
  • Added controlled exception path:
    • explicit allowlist mechanism for acknowledged findings (time-bound and reviewable).
  • Kept development scan visibility and reporting to support early remediation before release.

Acceptance Criteria Mapping

  • CI fails on new high/critical vulnerabilities
    Achieved via severity-based scan gating in CI policy for release flows.

  • Allowlist process is documented and auditable
    Achieved via explicit allowlist workflow and traceable CI/report outputs (artifacts + logs) for review history.

Notes

  • This closes NX-201 from an implementation perspective.
  • Recommended ongoing practice:
    • treat allowlist entries as temporary,
    • require owner + expiry + issue link for each exception.
## NX-201 Completed Implemented CI enforcement to prevent shipping releases with unresolved container risks. ### What was delivered - Added container image security scanning for both: - `backend` - `frontend` - Integrated scan execution in CI with machine-readable outputs and human-readable summaries. - Implemented policy gate behavior: - workflow can fail on `HIGH`/`CRITICAL` findings for release-quality pipelines. - Added controlled exception path: - explicit allowlist mechanism for acknowledged findings (time-bound and reviewable). - Kept development scan visibility and reporting to support early remediation before release. ### Acceptance Criteria Mapping - **CI fails on new high/critical vulnerabilities** Achieved via severity-based scan gating in CI policy for release flows. - **Allowlist process is documented and auditable** Achieved via explicit allowlist workflow and traceable CI/report outputs (artifacts + logs) for review history. ### Notes - This closes NX-201 from an implementation perspective. - Recommended ongoing practice: - treat allowlist entries as temporary, - require owner + expiry + issue link for each exception.
