feat: integrate Checkov for infrastructure-as-code security scanning #393

Description

@MatiasOS

Description

Integrate Checkov to scan infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files for security misconfigurations and compliance violations.

Part of the Quality Tooling Rollout (#369).

Tasks

  • Set up Checkov in CI via GitHub Actions
  • Scan relevant IaC/config files:
    • GitHub Actions workflows (.github/workflows/)
    • Dockerfiles (if any)
    • Cloudflare Workers / Wrangler config
    • Kubernetes manifests (if any)
  • Configure .checkov.yml with project-specific skip rules
  • Add PR annotations for findings
  • Add Checkov badge to README

Motivation

OpenScan deploys via GitHub Actions and Cloudflare Workers. IaC misconfigurations can lead to:

  • Overly permissive CI/CD permissions
  • Exposed secrets in workflow definitions
  • Insecure deployment configurations

Notes

  • Start with informational mode, move to blocking for critical findings.
  • Checkov has built-in policies for GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes.
