This project sends notifications to a Microsoft Teams channel when a secret scanning event happens in GitHub Advanced Security.

It is implemented as an Azure Function, and installed as a GitHub App. It uses a Teams incoming webhook.

It needs you to deploy the function on Azure, and to create a GitHub App and install it on an org or repo.

The Azure Function is triggered by a GitHub webhook event, via the GitHub App.

The Function notifies a Teams channel via a Teams incoming webhook.

• an Azure account on an Azure subscription
• a GitHub account
• a Teams subscription
• an incoming webhook on a Teams channel

You will need to set the Teams webhook URL in the Azure Function's application settings. This is covered in the INSTALL.md file.

Before you deploy, you can choose to set a declarative filter to apply to GitHub events you receive in the Azure Functions App. This is in addition to selecting the secret scanning events in the GitHub App.

This is done in the filter.yml file, with the format shown in filter.yml.example and below:

# Path: filter.yml
# filter webhook events by type and payload, declaratively
include:
 secret_scanning_alert:
 action: [created, dismissed, resolved, reopened]
exclude:
 secret_scanning_alert:
 action: reopened
 secret_scanning_alert_location:

The corresponding exclude filter for an event name is applied after the include filter.

This example will include any event named secret_scanning_alert with an action of created, dismissed, or resolved, reopened and will exclude any event named secret_scanning_alert with an action of reopened. It will also exclude any event named secret_scanning_alert_location.

The presence of an include filter here means that excluding secret_scanning_alert_location is redundant, as it will never be included in the first place, but it is included to show the syntax.

If you do not want to use a filter, you can delete the filter.yml file, or leave it empty.

You do not need to provide both an include and exclude key.

Secret scanning events contain sensitive data that is usually only available to users with privileged access on a repository.

If you use this notifier, then anyone with access to the Azure Function's subscription may be able to get access to this data.

Anyone with access to the Teams channel may be able to get access to this data.
