Seqra GitHub Action

Run Seqra static analysis in your CI, generate a SARIF report, and optionally upload it to GitHub Code Scanning.

Usage

Note: The action expects Linux x86_64 runners.

Quick Start

Scan

name: Seqra Analysis
on:
    workflow_dispatch

jobs:
  seqra:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout your repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run Seqra code analysis
        uses: seqra/seqra-action@v2

Scan and upload to GitHub code scanning alerts

name: Seqra Analysis
on:
    workflow_dispatch

# Required for Code Scanning upload
permissions:
  contents: read
  security-events: write

jobs:
  seqra:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout your repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run Seqra code analysis
        uses: seqra/seqra-action@v2
        with:
          upload-sarif: 'true'
          artifact-name: 'sarif'

All Inputs

name: Seqra Analysis
on:
    workflow_dispatch

# Required for Code Scanning upload
permissions:
  contents: read
  security-events: write

jobs:
  seqra:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout your repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run Seqra code analysis
        uses: seqra/seqra-action@v2
        with:
            # Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to the root of the analyzed project
            project-root: '.'

            # Should seqra-action upload sarif to GitHub Code Security
            upload-sarif: 'false'

            # Tag of seqra release
            seqra-version: 'v2.0.2'

            # Relative path under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE to your rules
            # By default it is empty, so seqra wil use builtin rules
            rules-path: 'security/myrules'

            # Name of uploaded artifact
            artifact-name: 'sarif'

            #Scan timeout
            timeout: '15m'

Artifacts

After the job completes, you’ll find:

• A SARIF artifact named sarif (configurable) will be uploaded to the workflow run.
• If upload-sarif: 'true', the SARIF is also sent to Security → Code scanning alerts in your repo.

Permissions

• For artifact upload: default permissions are fine.

• For Code Scanning upload: add

  permissions:
    contents: read
    security-events: write

Troubleshooting

• Monorepos: You can analyze only the project you need using project-root.
• Timeouts: If the scan times out, increase timeout (e.g., 30m).
