Additional Notes

Created: TOP_5_PRIORITY_ISSUES.md - comprehensive issue analysis document

Analysis Sources:

• 9 CodeQL security alerts (token permissions, branch protection, fuzzing)
• SWOT analysis weakness: limited mobile support
• ISMS compliance requirements (ISO 27001, NIST CSF, AWS Control Tower)
• OpenSSF Scorecard gaps

Priority Issues Documented:

#1 HIGH: GitHub Actions Token Permissions (7 workflows, 1-2h)

• Fixes CodeQL alerts Update dependency karma-jasmine to v2.0.1 #111-116, Update dependency javax.validation:validation-api to v2.0.1-SNAPSHOT #190
• OpenSSF impact: Token-Permissions 9/10 → 10/10

#2 HIGH: Branch Protection Rules (1h, requires admin)

• Fixes CodeQL alert Bump jackson-core-asl from 1.9.13.redhat-4 to 1.9.13 #44
• OpenSSF impact: Branch-Protection 4/10 → 9-10/10

#3 MEDIUM: Risk Rules Integration Tests (6-8h)

• Validates OSINT intelligence pipeline end-to-end
• Target: 85%+ test coverage in rules package

#4 MEDIUM: Mobile Responsiveness & WCAG 2.1 AA (8-12h)

• Addresses SWOT weakness
• Target: 90%+ Lighthouse accessibility score

#5 LOW: Fuzzing Integration (6-8h)

• Fixes CodeQL alert [Snyk] Fix for 1 vulnerable dependencies #52
• OpenSSF impact: Fuzzing 0/10 → 10/10

Each issue includes:

• Detailed acceptance criteria
• Implementation guidance with code examples
• ISMS compliance mapping
• Recommended assignees

Implementation Roadmap:

• Phase 1 (Week 1): Security hardening (Improve look and feel #1, Create Sankey diagrams  #2)
• Phase 2 (Week 2-3): Quality & testing (User actions and gamification. #3, Fix aws inspector findings cloudformation setup #5)
• Phase 3 (Week 4-5): User experience (Add a Codacy badge to README.md #4)

Security Considerations

• No sensitive data exposed
• Security best practices followed
• Compliance requirements met

Release Notes

Added comprehensive priority issue documentation based on security scanning and SWOT analysis. Establishes roadmap for improving OpenSSF Scorecard from 7.2/10 to 8.5-9.0/10 through 5 targeted improvements addressing supply chain security, code integrity, test coverage, accessibility, and proactive vulnerability discovery.
