Description

Replaces the placeholder Python one-liner in plugins/zap_scanner with a real Docker-based OWASP ZAP execution contract.

Changes

  • run.py — New Python script that:
    • Invokes OWASP ZAP via Docker (ghcr.io/zaproxy/zaproxy:stable)
    • Mounts a temporary volume to capture the JSON report
    • Maps ZAP alerts to SecuScan findings with severity normalization
    • Handles timeouts, missing Docker, and general errors with structured JSON output
  • metadata.json — Updated description, long_description, added docker to binaries dependencies, added help text to the target field, improved consent message, updated checksum
  • parser.py — Rewritten to parse real ZAP JSON alert output instead of the old keyword-based heuristic
  • PLUGINS.md — Updated zap_scanner summary and added a Runtime Dependencies table documenting Docker requirement
  • test_zap_scanner_parser.py — 6 unit tests covering valid alerts, empty results, invalid JSON, items fallback, missing severity, and non-dict items

Runtime Requirements

  • Docker must be installed and the user must have permission to run containers
  • The plugin pulls ghcr.io/zaproxy/zaproxy:stable on first run

Closes #541

Type of change

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • This change requires a documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

  • scripts/validate_plugin.py --plugin zap_scanner — passes schema validation
  • scripts/refresh_plugin_checksum.py --plugin zap_scanner — checksum up to date
  • Manual verification of parser with sample ZAP JSON output
  • 6 new parser unit tests covering edge cases

Checklist:

  • My code follows the style guidelines of this project
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
  • New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes
  • I have updated the documentation accordingly

This needs changes before merge. The new ZAP launcher ignores docker non-zero exit codes and can report success with empty findings when ZAP fails. Please propagate subprocess failures, cover that behavior with tests, and keep the parser contract clear for both wrapper JSON and raw ZAP JSON outputs before this becomes the plugin execution path.

Re-reviewed the latest update. This still needs changes before merge.

The launcher still does not fail the task when Docker/ZAP exits non-zero. It captures result.stderr, but it never checks result.returncode, so a failed ZAP run can still print an empty successful JSON payload and be treated as a completed scan.

Please make non-zero Docker/ZAP exit codes produce a failing process exit and add unit coverage for that behavior. Keep the parser tests, but the execution wrapper must not hide scanner failures.

This is still blocked.

plugins/zap_scanner/run.py still ignores a nonzero Docker/ZAP exit code. If zap-full-scan.py fails before writing a report, the wrapper can still emit a successful JSON payload with zero findings, which hides scanner failures from SecuScan.

Please check result.returncode after subprocess.run, return a nonzero exit with an error when Docker/ZAP fails, and add a test for the nonzero-returncode/no-report path.

…ution contract

- Replace placeholder Python one-liner with a proper run.py script that
  invokes OWASP ZAP via Docker, mounts a temp volume, captures JSON output,
  and handles timeout/docker-not-found errors.
- Update metadata.json: description, long_description, dependencies (adds
  docker), field help text, consent message, checksum.
- Rewrite parser.py to parse real ZAP JSON alert output with severity mapping.
- Add test_zap_scanner_parser.py with 6 tests covering valid alerts, empty
  results, invalid JSON, items fallback, missing severity, and non-dict items.
- Update PLUGINS.md with new summary and runtime-dependencies table.

Rechecking after the latest audit-exception commit: this is still blocked.

plugins/zap_scanner/run.py still needs to fail on nonzero Docker/ZAP return codes, especially when no report is produced. Please add explicit result.returncode handling plus a test for the nonzero-returncode/no-report path, and remove unrelated audit-policy exception changes from this plugin PR.
