Automation-repetitive-task-software

Projects that follow the best practices below can voluntarily self-certify and show that they've achieved an Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) best practices badge.

No existe un conjunto de prácticas que pueda garantizar que el software nunca tendrá defectos o vulnerabilidades; incluso los métodos formales pueden fallar si las especificaciones o suposiciones son incorrectas. Tampoco existe ningún conjunto de prácticas que pueda garantizar que un proyecto mantenga una comunidad de desarrollo saludable y que funcione bien. Sin embargo, seguir las mejores prácticas puede ayudar a mejorar los resultados de los proyectos. Por ejemplo, algunas prácticas permiten la revisión por parte de múltiples personas antes del lanzamiento, lo que puede ayudar a encontrar vulnerabilidades técnicas que de otro modo serían difíciles de encontrar y ayudar a generar confianza y un deseo repetido de interacción entre desarrolladores de diferentes compañías. Para obtener una insignia, se deben cumplir todos los criterios DEBE y NO DEBE, se deben cumplir, así como todos los criterios DEBERÍAN deben cumplirse o ser justificados, y todos los criterios SUGERIDOS se pueden cumplir o incumplir (queremos que se consideren al menos). Si desea añadir texto como justificación mediante un comentario genérico, en lugar de ser un razonamiento de que la situación es aceptable, comience el bloque de texto con '//' seguido de un espacio. Los comentarios son bienvenidos a través del sitio de GitHub mediante "issues" o "pull requests". También hay una lista de correo electrónico para el tema principal.

Con mucho gusto proporcionaríamos la información en varios idiomas, sin embargo, si hay algún conflicto o inconsistencia entre las traducciones, la versión en inglés es la versión autorizada.

 Basics 17/17

  • Identification

    Note that other projects may use the same name.

    Tremendous automation repetitive task Sofware with the motive of contributing to what makes your day to day activities much easier and accessible for you at your work place.

  • Prerrequisitos


    The project MUST achieve a passing level badge. [achieve_passing]

  • Basic project website content


    The information on how to contribute MUST include the requirements for acceptable contributions (e.g., a reference to any required coding standard). (URL required) [contribution_requirements]

    Firstly, I was able to solve the problem on the changing default personal email address and that's how I was able to link to my stack workplace for my organization for easy assistance on how I fix all the issues and work with daily emails on that too. Most importantly. I initiated a public template which will make it easier and more comfortable to use and even if the user doesn't understand how the software was build. with the public template on my repository, it's 100% ready to be used positively! Although, specific users or contributors, Members, billing managers, and outside collaborators who do not have two-factor authentication enabled for their personal account will be removed from my organization and will receive an email notifying them about the change. I made a reference on this on this link: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software


  • Supervisión del proyecto


    The project SHOULD have a legal mechanism where all developers of non-trivial amounts of project software assert that they are legally authorized to make these contributions. The most common and easily-implemented approach for doing this is by using a Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO), where users add "signed-off-by" in their commits and the project links to the DCO website. However, this MAY be implemented as a Contributor License Agreement (CLA), or other legal mechanism. (URL required) [dco]
    The DCO is the recommended mechanism because it's easy to implement, tracked in the source code, and git directly supports a "signed-off" feature using "commit -s". To be most effective it is best if the project documentation explains what "signed-off" means for that project. A CLA is a legal agreement that defines the terms under which intellectual works have been licensed to an organization or project. A contributor assignment agreement (CAA) is a legal agreement that transfers rights in an intellectual work to another party; projects are not required to have CAAs, since having CAA increases the risk that potential contributors will not contribute, especially if the receiver is a for-profit organization. The Apache Software Foundation CLAs (the individual contributor license and the corporate CLA) are examples of CLAs, for projects which determine that the risks of these kinds of CLAs to the project are less than their benefits.

    That’s a very great question, my project met this criteria in two different ways, firstly, the signed off features that I implemented on my project which will display the signed off feature of any developer or contributor after making a contribution on my project. The url where you’ll see examples of my signed off features using commit on GitHub. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software/pull/1 The url below shows the commit that I made on a pull request that I successfully merged on my project. Secondly, I used the zenodo company to get my DOI which identified as a digital Object identification. That been said, The CAA agreement is on the website which developers, contributors and companies can go through to understand the terms and conditions of the project. URL: https://zenodo.org/records/10829824



    The project MUST clearly define and document its project governance model (the way it makes decisions, including key roles). (URL required) [governance]
    There needs to be some well-established documented way to make decisions and resolve disputes. In small projects, this may be as simple as "the project owner and lead makes all final decisions". There are various governance models, including benevolent dictator and formal meritocracy; for more details, see Governance models. Both centralized (e.g., single-maintainer) and decentralized (e.g., group maintainers) approaches have been successfully used in projects. The governance information does not need to document the possibility of creating a project fork, since that is always possible for FLOSS projects.

    That’s a very good question, I made a software documentation on my project which clearly define and document its project governance model. URL below: https://github.com/KidiIT/.vscode#softwareproject-documentation



    The project MUST adopt a code of conduct and post it in a standard location. (URL required) [code_of_conduct]
    Projects may be able to improve the civility of their community and to set expectations about acceptable conduct by adopting a code of conduct. This can help avoid problems before they occur and make the project a more welcoming place to encourage contributions. This should focus only on behavior within the community/workplace of the project. Example codes of conduct are the Linux kernel code of conduct, the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct, the Debian Code of Conduct, the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, the Fedora Code of Conduct, the GNOME Code Of Conduct, the KDE Community Code of Conduct, the Python Community Code of Conduct, The Ruby Community Conduct Guideline, and The Rust Code of Conduct.

    Well, I followed the community standards to add a distinct code of conduct of my project and it was posted in a standard location. Please view the url below to confirm. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software?tab=coc-ov-file#



    The project MUST clearly define and publicly document the key roles in the project and their responsibilities, including any tasks those roles must perform. It MUST be clear who has which role(s), though this might not be documented in the same way. (URL required) [roles_responsibilities]
    The documentation for governance and roles and responsibilities may be in one place.

    My project clearly define and publicly document the key roles in the project and their responsibilities. This aspect of this classification can be seen on my project documentation where all key roles and responsibilities was identified on my project. To tell users the right people to make use of my software and right business sector that it’ll perform better when used properly. URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software#



    The project MUST be able to continue with minimal interruption if any one person dies, is incapacitated, or is otherwise unable or unwilling to continue support of the project. In particular, the project MUST be able to create and close issues, accept proposed changes, and release versions of software, within a week of confirmation of the loss of support from any one individual. This MAY be done by ensuring someone else has any necessary keys, passwords, and legal rights to continue the project. Individuals who run a FLOSS project MAY do this by providing keys in a lockbox and a will providing any needed legal rights (e.g., for DNS names). (URL required) [access_continuity]

    My project met this requirements because it has the potential and ability to create and close issues, accept proposed changes and release versions of the software. Contributors can propose changes by opening a pull requests on the project url. If it’s accepted then any requests that met the changes will be amended immediately. As an individual who runs a FLOSS project under MIT license and users can see how this tremendous project perform such task can be seen on the URL below. Legal rights URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software/blob/main/LICENSE



    The project SHOULD have a "bus factor" of 2 or more. (URL required) [bus_factor]
    A "bus factor" (aka "truck factor") is the minimum number of project members that have to suddenly disappear from a project ("hit by a bus") before the project stalls due to lack of knowledgeable or competent personnel. The truck-factor tool can estimate this for projects on GitHub. For more information, see Assessing the Bus Factor of Git Repositories by Cosentino et al.

    Thank you for the opportunity to share the details about my work. However, I was able to acquire the Digital object identification badge through zenodo which makes all my research contributions and recognition attributed to me. The DOI provides a comprehensive bus factor where Bus factor was linked to my GitHub account through the zenodo website. URL: https://zenodo.org/records/10829824


  • Documentation


    The project MUST have a documented roadmap that describes what the project intends to do and not do for at least the next year. (URL required) [documentation_roadmap]
    The project might not achieve the roadmap, and that's fine; the purpose of the roadmap is to help potential users and contributors understand the intended direction of the project. It need not be detailed.

    The document was written on my README.md and other standard location for collaborators URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software#



    The project MUST include documentation of the architecture (aka high-level design) of the software produced by the project. If the project does not produce software, select "not applicable" (N/A). (URL required) [documentation_architecture]
    A software architecture explains a program's fundamental structures, i.e., the program's major components, the relationships among them, and the key properties of these components and relationships.

    The documentation of the architecture which explains how the project produced high level design can we seen on the project README.md when the design documentation was published and released. URL; https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software#



    The project MUST document what the user can and cannot expect in terms of security from the software produced by the project (its "security requirements"). (URL required) [documentation_security]
    These are the security requirements that the software is intended to meet.

    The security policy.md clearly define how users can and can’t expect in terms of security from the software produced by the project. URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software/blob/main/SECURITY.md



    The project MUST provide a "quick start" guide for new users to help them quickly do something with the software. (URL required) [documentation_quick_start]
    The idea is to show users how to get started and make the software do anything at all. This is critically important for potential users to get started.

    100% the software/ project provides a quick start guide for new users to help them quickly contribute or use my code. New users can go through the CONTRIBUTING.md file and Code of Conduct on the project Home Page. Also understanding how the project was build from the start will enable new users to understand In comprehensive and efficient in other to use the best of the software. Furthermore, New users can go through the security policy file to know the current status of the project in other to know which version the software supports and understand more how they can file a report on any vulnerability being exploited by users. URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software?tab=coc-ov-file#



    The project MUST make an effort to keep the documentation consistent with the current version of the project results (including software produced by the project). Any known documentation defects making it inconsistent MUST be fixed. If the documentation is generally current, but erroneously includes some older information that is no longer true, just treat that as a defect, then track and fix as usual. [documentation_current]
    The documentation MAY include information about differences or changes between versions of the software and/or link to older versions of the documentation. The intent of this criterion is that an effort is made to keep the documentation consistent, not that the documentation must be perfect.

    the CodeQL tool which I installed on my project helps to keep the documentation with the current version of the project updated on a daily basis. It checks for faults and fixes any errors that might be found on the project. Also it regularly tracks and fix errors as usual. The url below explains how the CodeQL file was installed on the software to actively monitoring and updating of the software. URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software/blob/main/.github/CodeQL.yml



    The project repository front page and/or website MUST identify and hyperlink to any achievements, including this best practices badge, within 48 hours of public recognition that the achievement has been attained. (URL required) [documentation_achievements]
    An achievement is any set of external criteria that the project has specifically worked to meet, including some badges. This information does not need to be on the project website front page. A project using GitHub can put achievements on the repository front page by adding them to the README file.

    In the best of my knowledge, I’ve attached the achievement made by the project on the project’s repository and website. Currently, my project has achieved The OpenSSF best practices badge (passing level) and a DOI badge. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software#automation-repetitive-task-software


  • Accessibility and internationalization


    The project (both project sites and project results) SHOULD follow accessibility best practices so that persons with disabilities can still participate in the project and use the project results where it is reasonable to do so. [accessibility_best_practices]
    For web applications, see the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) and its supporting document Understanding WCAG 2.0; see also W3C accessibility information. For GUI applications, consider using the environment-specific accessibility guidelines (such as Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows). Some TUI applications (e.g. `ncurses` programs) can do certain things to make themselves more accessible (such as `alpine`'s `force-arrow-cursor` setting). Most command-line applications are fairly accessible as-is. This criterion is often N/A, e.g., for program libraries. Here are some examples of actions to take or issues to consider:
    • Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language ( WCAG 2.0 guideline 1.1)
    • Color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element. ( WCAG 2.0 guideline 1.4.1)
    • The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, except for large text, incidental text, and logotypes ( WCAG 2.0 guideline 1.4.3)
    • Make all functionality available from a keyboard (WCAG guideline 2.1)
    • A GUI or web-based project SHOULD test with at least one screen-reader on the target platform(s) (e.g. NVDA, Jaws, or WindowEyes on Windows; VoiceOver on Mac & iOS; Orca on Linux/BSD; TalkBack on Android). TUI programs MAY work to reduce overdraw to prevent redundant reading by screen-readers.

    The aspect of this validation isn’t assessable in my project. Because my software isn’t a web application rather a software development tool which can be easily integrated into any application and it performs a monetary automation tasks in any business sector as specified on my project documentation. On the other hand, the project Accessibility and internationalization can be seen by my end-users in other to download and make use of the software @Zenodo website where I acquired a Digital object identification for my project which has a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Right of Access for the Public to use in a digital device and a Right to Access for all users which is recognized internationally according to the International Copyright.

    URL: https://zenodo.org/records/10829824



    The software produced by the project SHOULD be internationalized to enable easy localization for the target audience's culture, region, or language. If internationalization (i18n) does not apply (e.g., the software doesn't generate text intended for end-users and doesn't sort human-readable text), select "not applicable" (N/A). [internationalization]
    Localization "refers to the adaptation of a product, application or document content to meet the language, cultural and other requirements of a specific target market (a locale)." Internationalization is the "design and development of a product, application or document content that enables easy localization for target audiences that vary in culture, region, or language." (See W3C's "Localization vs. Internationalization".) Software meets this criterion simply by being internationalized. No localization for another specific language is required, since once software has been internationalized it's possible for others to work on localization.

    The project possesses the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Right. Which makes it internationally recognized that explains how recognition of the software by end-users. the work will be attributed to the real owner of the project according to the international standards right that govern the software.

    URL: https://zenodo.org/records/10829824


  • Other


    If the project sites (website, repository, and download URLs) store passwords for authentication of external users, the passwords MUST be stored as iterated hashes with a per-user salt by using a key stretching (iterated) algorithm (e.g., Argon2id, Bcrypt, Scrypt, or PBKDF2). If the project sites do not store passwords for this purpose, select "not applicable" (N/A). [sites_password_security]
    Note that the use of GitHub meets this criterion. This criterion only applies to passwords used for authentication of external users into the project sites (aka inbound authentication). If the project sites must log in to other sites (aka outbound authentication), they may need to store authorization tokens for that purpose differently (since storing a hash would be useless). This applies criterion crypto_password_storage to the project sites, similar to sites_https.

    To begin with, the project was built, designed and deployed on GitHub. The whole process was done using the GitHub interface. The ability of the website to have a form validation interface situated on the web site makes it possible for the project to store passwords for authentication of external users, the passwords can be stored or exported in a Bcrypt form. Making it more convenient and secure process. With HTTPS domain name protocol


 Change Control 1/1

  • Versiones anteriores


    The project MUST maintain the most often used older versions of the product or provide an upgrade path to newer versions. If the upgrade path is difficult, the project MUST document how to perform the upgrade (e.g., the interfaces that have changed and detailed suggested steps to help upgrade). [maintenance_or_update]

    My project is currently using v2 and can be seen on the URL below that shows the lifecycle of my software development version. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software/tree/v2.3.4


 Informes 3/3

  • Bug-reporting process


    The project MUST use an issue tracker for tracking individual issues. [report_tracker]

    with the help of the bot on stack. it helps me on tracking issues detected on my organization and project. also, I gave some of organization members role to open an issue pull request which will actually trigger or detect an alert on my stack workplace for easy and fast responses. the link below will explain more. https://join.slack.com/share/enQtNjQwNTkxMzU2NDYwOS0zZmViMWFhYmQ2OTAzMjgzYzhkZTBjNTM1MjYzNTQ2N2Y2ZGUwNzUyZjYwNzBlNzYwMGIwMTVlOTc3YTJhNDhl


  • Proceso de informe de vulnerabilidad


    The project MUST give credit to the reporter(s) of all vulnerability reports resolved in the last 12 months, except for the reporter(s) who request anonymity. If there have been no vulnerabilities resolved in the last 12 months, select "not applicable" (N/A). (URL required) [vulnerability_report_credit]

    Actually a vulnerability was detected on my project late last year (December to be precise). However, The CodeQl which is an automated scanning tool that I used for my project on GitHub detected that a bug is spotting some customers from accessing the dashboard on my vercel network. The bug was tackled immediately and it was resolved. It was caused by myself because I left some code that might give threat actors access to users information. For instance, logging out user information. To God may have it, the vulnerability was resolved immediately and users were able to access the project dashboard. Users can report vulnerabilities on my project by opening an issue on GitHub or use the vulnerability reporting file or link on the project to report any vulnerabilities or bugs being detected on the project.

    URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software?tab=security-ov-file#reporting-a-vulnerability



    The project MUST have a documented process for responding to vulnerability reports. (URL required) [vulnerability_response_process]
    This is strongly related to vulnerability_report_process, which requires that there be a documented way to report vulnerabilities. It also related to vulnerability_report_response, which requires response to vulnerability reports within a certain time frame.

    A report vulnerability template is being attached on my project. For vulnerabilities reporting and response on the project website at GitHub. Which will help users to understand the kind of vulnerabilities the project is currently experiencing and how it was solved after a successful implementation process to mitigate the vulnerability. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software?tab=security-ov-file#security-policy


 Calidad 19/19

  • Coding standards


    The project MUST identify the specific coding style guides for the primary languages it uses, and require that contributions generally comply with it. (URL required) [coding_standards]
    In most cases this is done by referring to some existing style guide(s), possibly listing differences. These style guides can include ways to improve readability and ways to reduce the likelihood of defects (including vulnerabilities). Many programming languages have one or more widely-used style guides. Examples of style guides include Google's style guides and SEI CERT Coding Standards.

    Yes this aspect was on my project. The CONTRIBUTING.md file on the website provides users with essential information on the primary language the project was developed on and guild on how contributors can contribute to the project.

    URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md



    The project MUST automatically enforce its selected coding style(s) if there is at least one FLOSS tool that can do so in the selected language(s). [coding_standards_enforced]
    This MAY be implemented using static analysis tool(s) and/or by forcing the code through code reformatters. In many cases the tool configuration is included in the project's repository (since different projects may choose different configurations). Projects MAY allow style exceptions (and typically will); where exceptions occur, they MUST be rare and documented in the code at their locations, so that these exceptions can be reviewed and so that tools can automatically handle them in the future. Examples of such tools include ESLint (JavaScript), Rubocop (Ruby), and devtools check (R).

    An npm package file was directly installed in the project or repository which enables and helps in detecting which coding styles was used on the project. The npm package is specifically designed for JavaScript codes and applications


  • Working build system


    Build systems for native binaries MUST honor the relevant compiler and linker (environment) variables passed in to them (e.g., CC, CFLAGS, CXX, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS) and pass them to compiler and linker invocations. A build system MAY extend them with additional flags; it MUST NOT simply replace provided values with its own. If no native binaries are being generated, select "not applicable" (N/A). [build_standard_variables]
    It should be easy to enable special build features like Address Sanitizer (ASAN), or to comply with distribution hardening best practices (e.g., by easily turning on compiler flags to do so).

    This is not applicable on my project because my project does not provide any Native binaries as was mentioned above.



    The build and installation system SHOULD preserve debugging information if they are requested in the relevant flags (e.g., "install -s" is not used). If there is no build or installation system (e.g., typical JavaScript libraries), select "not applicable" (N/A). [build_preserve_debug]
    E.G., setting CFLAGS (C) or CXXFLAGS (C++) should create the relevant debugging information if those languages are used, and they should not be stripped during installation. Debugging information is needed for support and analysis, and also useful for measuring the presence of hardening features in the compiled binaries.

    The build and installation system on my project preserve debugging information typical JavaScript libraries. The URL below explains more on how this was met

    URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software/actions/runs/8368752324



    The build system for the software produced by the project MUST NOT recursively build subdirectories if there are cross-dependencies in the subdirectories. If there is no build or installation system (e.g., typical JavaScript libraries), select "not applicable" (N/A). [build_non_recursive]
    The project build system's internal dependency information needs to be accurate, otherwise, changes to the project may not build correctly. Incorrect builds can lead to defects (including vulnerabilities). A common mistake in large build systems is to use a "recursive build" or "recursive make", that is, a hierarchy of subdirectories containing source files, where each subdirectory is independently built. Unless each subdirectory is fully independent, this is a mistake, because the dependency information is incorrect.

    Not applicable



    The project MUST be able to repeat the process of generating information from source files and get exactly the same bit-for-bit result. If no building occurs (e.g., scripting languages where the source code is used directly instead of being compiled), select "not applicable" (N/A). [build_repeatable]
    GCC and clang users may find the -frandom-seed option useful; in some cases, this can be resolved by forcing some sort order. More suggestions can be found at the reproducible build site.

    Not applicable on my project development


  • Installation system


    The project MUST provide a way to easily install and uninstall the software produced by the project using a commonly-used convention. [installation_common]
    Examples include using a package manager (at the system or language level), "make install/uninstall" (supporting DESTDIR), a container in a standard format, or a virtual machine image in a standard format. The installation and uninstallation process (e.g., its packaging) MAY be implemented by a third party as long as it is FLOSS.

    This is currently not applicable to the project because it does wasn’t build to be installed rather it can downloaded and used for development of other automation software.



    The installation system for end-users MUST honor standard conventions for selecting the location where built artifacts are written to at installation time. For example, if it installs files on a POSIX system it MUST honor the DESTDIR environment variable. If there is no installation system or no standard convention, select "not applicable" (N/A). [installation_standard_variables]

    Not applicable



    The project MUST provide a way for potential developers to quickly install all the project results and support environment necessary to make changes, including the tests and test environment. This MUST be performed with a commonly-used convention. [installation_development_quick]
    This MAY be implemented using a generated container and/or installation script(s). External dependencies would typically be installed by invoking system and/or language package manager(s), per external_dependencies.

    Developers can download everything about the software through the URL in below.

    URL : https://zenodo.org/records/10829824


  • Externally-maintained components


    The project MUST list external dependencies in a computer-processable way. (URL required) [external_dependencies]
    Typically this is done using the conventions of package manager and/or build system. Note that this helps implement installation_development_quick.

    Projects MUST monitor or periodically check their external dependencies (including convenience copies) to detect known vulnerabilities, and fix exploitable vulnerabilities or verify them as unexploitable. [dependency_monitoring]
    This can be done using an origin analyzer / dependency checking tool / software composition analysis tool such as OWASP's Dependency-Check, Sonatype's Nexus Auditor, Synopsys' Black Duck Software Composition Analysis, and Bundler-audit (for Ruby). Some package managers include mechanisms to do this. It is acceptable if the components' vulnerability cannot be exploited, but this analysis is difficult and it is sometimes easier to simply update or fix the part.

    The dependabot.yml file which has been updated and configured on the project periodically checks for their external dependencies and update them in other to detect known vulnerabilities and fix exploitable.



    The project MUST either:
    1. make it easy to identify and update reused externally-maintained components; or
    2. use the standard components provided by the system or programming language.
    Then, if a vulnerability is found in a reused component, it will be easy to update that component. [updateable_reused_components]
    A typical way to meet this criterion is to use system and programming language package management systems. Many FLOSS programs are distributed with "convenience libraries" that are local copies of standard libraries (possibly forked). By itself, that's fine. However, if the program *must* use these local (forked) copies, then updating the "standard" libraries as a security update will leave these additional copies still vulnerable. This is especially an issue for cloud-based systems; if the cloud provider updates their "standard" libaries but the program won't use them, then the updates don't actually help. See, e.g., "Chromium: Why it isn't in Fedora yet as a proper package" by Tom Callaway.

    This was met in a way that my commit are verified on GitHub because I activated the vigilant mode on my project. This gives my project a verified mark with a GPG token in other to make sure my project stand out from other updates reused or maintained by others developers. Also, it is easier to identify vulnerabilities on the reused maintained component.



    The project SHOULD avoid using deprecated or obsolete functions and APIs where FLOSS alternatives are available in the set of technology it uses (its "technology stack") and to a supermajority of the users the project supports (so that users have ready access to the alternative). [interfaces_current]

    I used GitHub API which makes it more efficient for me to fetch data from the main branch and then run it through a command line for the data to be stored and reused able by other branches.


  • Automated test suite


    An automated test suite MUST be applied on each check-in to a shared repository for at least one branch. This test suite MUST produce a report on test success or failure. [automated_integration_testing]
    This requirement can be viewed as a subset of test_continuous_integration, but focused on just testing, without requiring continuous integration.

    This was successfully check and the automated process was very successful for the project. URL: https://github.com/KidiIT/Automation-repetitive-task-software/pull/31



    The project MUST add regression tests to an automated test suite for at least 50% of the bugs fixed within the last six months. [regression_tests_added50]

    Not applicable.



    The project MUST have FLOSS automated test suite(s) that provide at least 80% statement coverage if there is at least one FLOSS tool that can measure this criterion in the selected language. [test_statement_coverage80]
    Many FLOSS tools are available to measure test coverage, including gcov/lcov, Blanket.js, Istanbul, JCov, and covr (R). Note that meeting this criterion is not a guarantee that the test suite is thorough, instead, failing to meet this criterion is a strong indicator of a poor test suite.

    This isn’t applicable on my project at the moment.


  • New functionality testing


    The project MUST have a formal written policy that as major new functionality is added, tests for the new functionality MUST be added to an automated test suite. [test_policy_mandated]

    Not applicable on my project at the moment.



    The project MUST include, in its documented instructions for change proposals, the policy that tests are to be added for major new functionality. [tests_documented_added]
    However, even an informal rule is acceptable as long as the tests are being added in practice.

    This can be seen on the feature.md file on GitHub website of the project. The file helps users to understand and contribute to new features or functionality on the project. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.md?plain=1


  • Banderas de advertencia


    Projects MUST be maximally strict with warnings in the software produced by the project, where practical. [warnings_strict]
    Some warnings cannot be effectively enabled on some projects. What is needed is evidence that the project is striving to enable warning flags where it can, so that errors are detected early.

 Seguridad 13/13

  • Conocimiento de desarrollo seguro


    The project MUST implement secure design principles (from "know_secure_design"), where applicable. If the project is not producing software, select "not applicable" (N/A). [implement_secure_design]
    For example, the project results should have fail-safe defaults (access decisions should deny by default, and projects' installation should be secure by default). They should also have complete mediation (every access that might be limited must be checked for authority and be non-bypassable). Note that in some cases principles will conflict, in which case a choice must be made (e.g., many mechanisms can make things more complex, contravening "economy of mechanism" / keep it simple).

    This was met because I clearly explained on my project documentation how a secure design principles was implemented on my project. I made some contributions on LinkedIn how my secure development knowledge was used on my project.


  • Use buenas prácticas criptográficas

    Note that some software does not need to use cryptographic mechanisms. If your project produces software that (1) includes, activates, or enables encryption functionality, and (2) might be released from the United States (US) to outside the US or to a non-US-citizen, you may be legally required to take a few extra steps. Typically this just involves sending an email. For more information, see the encryption section of Understanding Open Source Technology & US Export Controls.

    The default security mechanisms within the software produced by the project MUST NOT depend on cryptographic algorithms or modes with known serious weaknesses (e.g., the SHA-1 cryptographic hash algorithm or the CBC mode in SSH). [crypto_weaknesses]
    Concerns about CBC mode in SSH are discussed in CERT: SSH CBC vulnerability.

    This isn’t applicable on my project because cryptographic algorithms or modes with know serious weaknesses are not available or applicable on the project itself.



    The project SHOULD support multiple cryptographic algorithms, so users can quickly switch if one is broken. Common symmetric key algorithms include AES, Twofish, and Serpent. Common cryptographic hash algorithm alternatives include SHA-2 (including SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 AND SHA-512) and SHA-3. [crypto_algorithm_agility]

    Not applicable on the project itself.



    The project MUST support storing authentication credentials (such as passwords and dynamic tokens) and private cryptographic keys in files that are separate from other information (such as configuration files, databases, and logs), and permit users to update and replace them without code recompilation. If the project never processes authentication credentials and private cryptographic keys, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_credential_agility]

    This is not applicable to the project because it does not support storing authentication credentials such as passwords and dynamic tokens.



    The software produced by the project SHOULD support secure protocols for all of its network communications, such as SSHv2 or later, TLS1.2 or later (HTTPS), IPsec, SFTP, and SNMPv3. Insecure protocols such as FTP, HTTP, telnet, SSLv3 or earlier, and SSHv1 SHOULD be disabled by default, and only enabled if the user specifically configures it. If the software produced by the project does not support network communications, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_used_network]

    My project supports the secure protocol for all of its network communication. The URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software.git



    The software produced by the project SHOULD, if it supports or uses TLS, support at least TLS version 1.2. Note that the predecessor of TLS was called SSL. If the software does not use TLS, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_tls12]

    The project is been built under a secured domain name protocol HTTPS which allows users to access the network without having to worry about security. Also it supports all protocols for network communication. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software.git



    The software produced by the project MUST, if it supports TLS, perform TLS certificate verification by default when using TLS, including on subresources. If the software does not use TLS, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_certificate_verification]

    The action was done on my projects. When I verified my project websites and emails in other to automatically in other to validate such TLS certificates verification by default



    The software produced by the project MUST, if it supports TLS, perform certificate verification before sending HTTP headers with private information (such as secure cookies). If the software does not use TLS, select "not applicable" (N/A). [crypto_verification_private]

    This was met on my project but it’s currently not publicly available or visible because I followed the best practices of performing certificate verification which supports TLS protocol for all projects or software that will be built on the project.


  • Secure release


    The project MUST cryptographically sign releases of the project results intended for widespread use, and there MUST be a documented process explaining to users how they can obtain the public signing keys and verify the signature(s). The private key for these signature(s) MUST NOT be on site(s) used to directly distribute the software to the public. If releases are not intended for widespread use, select "not applicable" (N/A). [signed_releases]
    The project results include both source code and any generated deliverables where applicable (e.g., executables, packages, and containers). Generated deliverables MAY be signed separately from source code. These MAY be implemented as signed git tags (using cryptographic digital signatures). Projects MAY provide generated results separately from tools like git, but in those cases, the separate results MUST be separately signed.

    This is not applicable because it’s not intended for widespread use.



    It is SUGGESTED that in the version control system, each important version tag (a tag that is part of a major release, minor release, or fixes publicly noted vulnerabilities) be cryptographically signed and verifiable as described in signed_releases. [version_tags_signed]

    I made use of the vigilante mode that verifies any release of version control systems of the software. It assigned a GPG key ID to any version control update of the software or fixes publicly noted vulnerabilities on the project.


  • Otros problemas de seguridad


    The project results MUST check all inputs from potentially untrusted sources to ensure they are valid (an *allowlist*), and reject invalid inputs, if there are any restrictions on the data at all. [input_validation]
    Note that comparing input against a list of "bad formats" (aka a *denylist*) is normally not enough, because attackers can often work around a denylist. In particular, numbers are converted into internal formats and then checked if they are between their minimum and maximum (inclusive), and text strings are checked to ensure that they are valid text patterns (e.g., valid UTF-8, length, syntax, etc.). Some data may need to be "anything at all" (e.g., a file uploader), but these would typically be rare.

    The project has been tested and approved. The code scanning tool I used on my project helps to scan and validate all input on my project and notify if any was rejected. However, it uses UTF-8 text Strings language for easy identification of data by the software.



    Hardening mechanisms SHOULD be used in the software produced by the project so that software defects are less likely to result in security vulnerabilities. [hardening]
    Hardening mechanisms may include HTTP headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), compiler flags to mitigate attacks (such as -fstack-protector), or compiler flags to eliminate undefined behavior. For our purposes least privilege is not considered a hardening mechanism (least privilege is important, but separate).

    MFA has been implemented on the project. Which allows me the owner to verify my identity in two or three ways before I could access some certain information on my project. This reduces security vulnerabilities and software defects https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software/blob/main/SECURITY.md



    The project MUST provide an assurance case that justifies why its security requirements are met. The assurance case MUST include: a description of the threat model, clear identification of trust boundaries, an argument that secure design principles have been applied, and an argument that common implementation security weaknesses have been countered. (URL required) [assurance_case]
    An assurance case is "a documented body of evidence that provides a convincing and valid argument that a specified set of critical claims regarding a system’s properties are adequately justified for a given application in a given environment" ("Software Assurance Using Structured Assurance Case Models", Thomas Rhodes et al, NIST Interagency Report 7608). Trust boundaries are boundaries where data or execution changes its level of trust, e.g., a server's boundaries in a typical web application. It's common to list secure design principles (such as Saltzer and Schroeer) and common implementation security weaknesses (such as the OWASP top 10 or CWE/SANS top 25), and show how each are countered. The BadgeApp assurance case may be a useful example. This is related to documentation_security, documentation_architecture, and implement_secure_design.

    Currently the URL below shows that requirement are met and it’ll be updated once the new URL pops up.

 Analysis 2/2

  • Análisis estático de código


    The project MUST use at least one static analysis tool with rules or approaches to look for common vulnerabilities in the analyzed language or environment, if there is at least one FLOSS tool that can implement this criterion in the selected language. [static_analysis_common_vulnerabilities]
    Static analysis tools that are specifically designed to look for common vulnerabilities are more likely to find them. That said, using any static tools will typically help find some problems, so we are suggesting but not requiring this for the 'passing' level badge.

    Yes, I used a static analysis tool on my project which periodically check for any vulnerabilities on my project and in an analyzed language or environment. the CodeQL / Analyze (javascript-typescript) (dynamic). the GitHub Advanced security also help in a more productive way. URL: https://github.com/KIDI-S-TECH/Automation-repetitive-task-software/actions/runs/8928352421/job/24523743906


  • Dynamic code analysis


    If the software produced by the project includes software written using a memory-unsafe language (e.g., C or C++), then at least one dynamic tool (e.g., a fuzzer or web application scanner) MUST be routinely used in combination with a mechanism to detect memory safety problems such as buffer overwrites. If the project does not produce software written in a memory-unsafe language, choose "not applicable" (N/A). [dynamic_analysis_unsafe]
    Examples of mechanisms to detect memory safety problems include Address Sanitizer (ASAN) (available in GCC and LLVM), Memory Sanitizer, and valgrind. Other potentially-used tools include thread sanitizer and undefined behavior sanitizer. Widespread assertions would also work.

    this is not applicable on my project because it's not written using a memory-unsafe language.
