Chartsec: Helm Chart security checker

Chartsec scans a Helm chart for potential security vulnerabilities for it's user. It's especially useful to check third-party charts before even decompressing them.

Usage

Chartsec can be used both as a library and an executable.

Build the binary executable with the following command:

go get github.com/banzaicloud/chartsec/cmd/chartsec

Use it to check a chart package:

chartsec path/to/package.tgz

Or use it as a library in your project:

package main

import (
	"os"
	
	"github.com/banzaicloud/chartsec"
)

func main() {
    file, err := os.Open("path/to/package.tgz")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    scanner := chartsec.NewDefaultChartScanner()

    err = scanner.Scan(file)
    if err != nil {
    	panic(err)
    }
}

Security checks

• Compressed archive does not exceed 10MB
• Decompressed archive does not exceed 10MB
• Markdown files do not contain malicious content (html script, etc)

Why is everything in package internal?

While we believe this package is ultimately useful for anyone who work with third-party charts, the API is not quite stable yet, the implementation might change, so we decided to expose only what's necessary to use the core functionality to prevent ossification.
