This PR has several issues that need to be addressed before it can be merged:

❌ Failing Checks (3/6)

  1. CodeQL Analysis - Failing due to:

    • Invalid language 'auto' specified
    • Deprecated 'category' parameter in workflow
    • Missing push hook for security scanning
  2. Supply Chain Security - 2 jobs failing:

    • Compliance and Best Practices check
    • Supply Chain Security Scan

📋 Action Items

  • Fix CodeQL workflow: remove 'category' parameter and specify valid languages
  • Add push trigger to CodeQL workflow for security scanning
  • Investigate and fix Supply Chain Security workflow failures
  • Complete the PR description by filling out the 74 checklist items
  • Provide proper test documentation and results

✅ Working Checks

  • PowerShell Lint - passing
  • PowerShell Security Analysis - passing

Next Steps: I'll work on addressing these workflow issues and completing the PR documentation. The PR will remain in draft status until all checks pass and documentation is complete.

Assigned to myself for follow-up work.

🚨 Critical Check Failures Summary

Failing Checks (4/6):

  • CodeQL Analysis: Invalid 'auto' language + deprecated 'category' parameter
  • Supply Chain Compliance: Missing dependency validation
  • Supply Chain Security Scan: xmllint tool not found

Quick Fixes:

  1. CodeQL: Switch to languages: ['javascript'] for JSON/YAML files OR enable autobuild
  2. Supply Chain: Add apt-get install -y xmllint to workflow
  3. Scorecard: Ensure contents: read and actions: read token permissions

Next Steps: Converting to draft for fix implementation. Will validate all security scans pass before re-opening.

🔧 Comprehensive Fix Plan for All Failing Workflows

I've analyzed all three PRs and identified the root causes of the failing workflows. Here's my implementation plan to fix all the issues:

🎯 Issues Identified

PR #1 - CodeQL Language Fix

  • ❌ Python analysis failing because this is a PowerShell repository
  • ✅ Removed deprecated category parameter correctly
  • 🔧 Fix: Change languages: ['python'] to languages: ['javascript'] for JSON/YAML analysis

PR #2 & #3 - Supply Chain Security Fixes

📋 Implementation Plan

1. For PR #1: Update CodeQL language configuration

# Change from:
languages: ['python']
# To:
languages: ['javascript']  # For JSON/YAML files

2. For PR #2 & #3: Add xmllint dependency installation

- name: Install dependencies
  run: |
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y xmllint

Add this step before the "Validate XML policy files" step.

3. Fix CodeQL configuration across all workflows:

  • Remove deprecated category parameter from Initialize CodeQL step
  • Change languages: ['auto'] to languages: ['javascript']
  • Ensure proper permissions: contents: read, actions: read, security-events: write

🚀 Expected Results After Fixes

PR #1: CodeQL will pass with JavaScript analysis for JSON/YAML files
PR #2: MDM Policy Validation will pass, CodeQL will pass
PR #3: Supply Chain Security Scan will pass, Compliance checks will pass

📊 Current Status Summary

Ready to proceed with implementing these fixes. The changes are surgical and will resolve all failing checks while maintaining the excellent security scanning coverage you've implemented! 🛡️
