Security & Privacy Assessment
This report packages the Bearer CLI scan results into a review-ready summary for auditors, including methodology, scope, and validation notes.

Scan metadata
Executive summary
Bearer CLI performed a static review of the codebase focusing on data handling, privacy, secrets, and security anti-patterns. The scan returned no actionable findings in this run.
- No evidence of sensitive data exfiltration paths, insecure logging, or weak crypto primitives flagged by the rule set.
- Results align with other automated checks noted in the repository (SonarQube, Docker Scout), indicating a clean baseline at scan time.
- Integrating this scan into CI ensures regressions are caught before release; the current artifact is suitable for auditor evidence.
Recommendations for reviewers
- Verify CI runs Bearer CLI with a non-zero exit code on new findings to block risky merges.
- Pair this SAST output with SCA (dependency) and container scans already documented in the project for layered coverage.
- Sample authentication, authorization, and data-export paths manually to confirm intended controls beyond static analysis.
- Re-run the scan after major code, dependency, or framework upgrades and archive each report for traceability.
Methodology
Bearer CLI inspects source code without executing it, applying rules that track sensitive data types, potential leaks, and security weaknesses.
- Static analysis: pattern and data-flow checks for sensitive data exposure, insecure transport/storage, secrets, and weak cryptography.
- Privacy focus: rules tuned to detect personal data handling and logging issues alongside general security misconfigurations.
- Non-invasive: no runtime execution or network calls are performed; findings are derived solely from code and configuration artifacts.
Limitations & validation
Use this report as one control among several. Items outside the scope of this artifact should be addressed through complementary checks.
- Dependencies and container images require separate SCA/SBOM review (see Docker Scout and other tooling in the repository).
- Dynamic behaviors, infrastructure configuration, and runtime secrets are not assessed by this static scan.
- Rule coverage is limited to the Bearer policy set; custom application threats (business logic, abuse cases) need manual review.
Findings
Findings are grouped by severity and map to relevant CWE categories when present.
| Severity | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | 0 | No exploitable issues detected. |
| High | 0 | No high-risk flaws identified. |
| Medium | 0 | No medium-severity findings. |
| Low | 0 | No low-severity items. |
| Warning | 0 | No informational notices. |
Appendix: Severity scale
Use these definitions when triaging future findings from Bearer CLI or related static analysis tools.
- Critical: Immediate exploitation risk or confirmed sensitive data exfiltration paths.
- High: Issues that materially weaken authentication, authorization, or encryption boundaries.
- Medium: Misconfigurations or code smells that could aid lateral movement or data exposure.
- Low: Defense-in-depth gaps with limited direct impact.
- Warning: Informational or hardening opportunities for future improvement.
