OWASP ZAP rule 10062 (PII Disclosure) intermittently fails the packaged-app passive scan with a HIGH "credit card number" alert on a book's public EAN-13 shown on a catalogue page (observed: 4131672754818 on /de/verlag/Puffin+Books). A 13-digit catalogue identifier inherently collides with the credit-card Luhn pattern, and the crawl reaches different pages each run, so the same code passes or fails at random and every release needs a ZAP re-run.

This excludes rule 10062 only from the blocking gate. Every other medium/high passive alert still fails the build, and real secret/PII exposure is covered by the secret-scanning, Semgrep and CodeQL jobs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Correzioni
    • Aggiornata la gestione degli alert di sicurezza ZAP: i falsi positivi relativi agli identificativi ISBN/EAN-13 non bloccano più la build.
    • Gli altri alert passivi con rischio medio o alto continuano a causare il fallimento della build.
    • Migliorati i messaggi finali con il conteggio degli alert esclusi e maggiori dettagli sul motivo dell’esclusione.

OWASP ZAP rule 10062 (PII Disclosure) intermittently fails the packaged-app
passive scan with a HIGH "credit card number" alert. The match is a book's
public EAN-13 on a catalogue page (observed: 4131672754818 on
/de/verlag/Puffin+Books): a 13-digit catalogue identifier inherently collides
with the credit-card Luhn pattern, and which page the crawl reaches varies run
to run — so the same code passes or fails at random and every release needs a
re-run. Exclude rule 10062 from the blocking gate only; every other medium/high
passive alert still fails the build, and real secret/PII exposure is covered by
the secret-scanning, Semgrep and CodeQL jobs.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@fabiodalez-dev, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 25 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

Il workflow ZAP ora esclude dal blocco gli alert PII Disclosure con plugin 10062. Gli altri alert passivi di rischio medio o alto continuano a causare il fallimento della build.

Changes

Gate di sicurezza ZAP

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filtro degli alert PII Disclosure
.github/workflows/ci-browser-security.yml
Il gate conta e ignora gli alert con plugin 10062, registra la nota sul falso positivo ISBN/EAN-13 e filtra questi alert dall’output bloccante. Il messaggio finale indica l’assenza di alert bloccanti.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Semplice) | ~10 minuti

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 301f7

The workflow change may allow genuine high-severity PII disclosures to pass because it suppresses all rule 10062 alerts instead of only the documented ISBN/EAN-13 false positive. Merge should be blocked until the exclusion is narrowly scoped.

Per review: don't exclude every PII-Disclosure (rule 10062) alert — a real
credit-card/SSN leak must still fail. The alert is now ignored ONLY when EVERY
instance is a 13-digit number (ISBN/EAN-13 length) on a bibliographic route
(publisher/book/author/catalogue across the five locales). A 15/16-digit card
number, or a 13-digit value on any other page (login, admin, forms), stays
blocking. Verified against the real ZAP report (EAN 4131672754818 on
/de/verlag/Puffin+Books → allowlisted) and two synthetic reports (a 16-digit
Visa, and a 13-digit value on /admin/settings → both still blocking).
