Report Templates

Edit config/report_config.json to customize report structure:

• Executive: High-level for C-suite (1-2 pages)
• Technical: Detailed for engineers (10-50 pages)
• Compliance: Regulatory alignment (5-15 pages)

Severity Rules

Edit config/severity_rules.json to adjust context-aware filtering:

{
  "innerHTML": {
    "patterns": [
      {
        "pattern": "innerHTML\\s*=\\s*['\"]\\s*['\"]",
        "adjusted_severity": "INFO",
        "reason": "Clearing content - safe operation"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Branding

Edit config/branding.json for custom appearance:

{
  "company_name": "Your Organization",
  "logo_path": "/path/to/logo.png",
  "primary_color": "#6366f1",
  "secondary_color": "#8b5cf6",
  "footer_text": "Confidential - Internal Use Only"
}

Input Format

The plugin expects JSON files from plugin-security-checker with this structure:

{
  "metadata": {
    "plugin_name": "example-plugin",
    "scan_date": "2025-10-29T10:30:00",
    "scanner_version": "3.0.0"

Report Sections

1. Executive Summary

• Key statistics
• Business impact assessment
• Top 10 critical findings
• Recommended actions

2. Key Statistics

• Total plugins analyzed
• Findings by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
• Findings by category
• Scan date range

3. Top Risky Plugins

• Plugin name and risk score
• Number of findings (total and by severity)
• Risk level classification
• False positive count

4. Critical Findings

• Detailed description
• Code snippets
• Plugin context
• Framework mappings (ATT&CK, OWASP, CWE)
• Remediation recommendations

5. Framework Analysis

Context-Aware Features

innerHTML Detection

• innerHTML = '' → INFO (safe clearing)
• innerHTML = static HTML → LOW (best practice: use textContent)
• innerHTML = template → MEDIUM (verify escaping)
• innerHTML = userInput → CRITICAL (real XSS risk)

eval() Detection

• eval('static string') → MEDIUM (code smell)
• eval(userInput) → CRITICAL (code execution risk)

File Operations

• readFile('/static/path') → LOW (safe)
• readFile(userPath) → CRITICAL (path traversal risk)

Plugin Type Context

• Web UI plugins: Expected to use DOM manipulation (reduced penalties)
• CLI plugins: DOM usage is suspicious (increased severity)

Integration with Plugin Security Checker

# Step 1: Scan plugins
python3 plugin-security-checker/scripts/scan_plugin.py \
  my-plugin/ \
  --output scan_results.json

# Step 2: Generate report
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input scan_results.json \
  --output report.html \
  --format html

Performance

• Parsing: ~1,000 plugins/second
• Analysis: ~500 findings/second
• Report Generation:
  • HTML: <5 seconds for 1,000 plugins
  • PDF: <15 seconds for 1,000 plugins
  • DOCX: <10 seconds for 1,000 plugins

Troubleshooting

WeasyPrint Installation Issues

# macOS
brew install python3 cairo pango gdk-pixbuf libffi
pip install weasyprint

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip python3-cffi python3-brotli \
  libpango-1.0-0 libpangoft2-1.0-0 libcairo2
pip install weasyprint

# Windows
pip install weasyprint
# May require additional system dependencies

Missing Framework Mappings

If framework mappings are not found:

# Copy from plugin-security-checker
cp plugin-security-checker/references/threat_mappings.json \
   security-report-builder/references/framework_mappings.json

Large Result Sets

For very large scan results (10,000+ plugins):

# Filter by severity first
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input results/ \
  --output report.pdf \
  --format pdf \
  --min-severity HIGH  # Reduces dataset
