tests: work around virt-tests AppArmor errors for BIOS guests - #1047
Updated virtual machine test setup so BIOS firmware runs use a different virtualization security-driver configuration; other firmware runs retain their existing setup.
Tests
Added automated security checks to the Python test workflow, including code analysis and dependency vulnerability scans. The workflow now reports all identified dependency vulnerabilities.
This pull request changes a CodeRabbit configuration file. Because it comes from a fork or its author is not a repository collaborator, reviews use only the configuration from the target branch. The proposed configuration will take effect after it is merged.
Walkthrough
The Python test job adds Semgrep and pip-audit checks. The workflow review instructions specify security scanning requirements. For BIOS firmware, the virt_tests job appends security_driver = "none" to /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.
Changes
Python job security checks
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Add security scans to the Python job .coderabbit.yaml, .github/workflows/snapm.yml
The review instructions specify Bandit, Semgrep, and pip-audit requirements. The Python test job scans snapm with the OWASP Top Ten and security-audit Semgrep configurations, then runs pip-audit --desc.
The required security checks are not yet complete: Bandit is missing, and a dependency audit can pass without checking every dependency. Address both before merging.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title names the main change: a workaround for virt-tests AppArmor errors affecting BIOS guests. The changeset sets security_driver = "none" in qemu.conf for BIOS runs, which matches the linked issue #1046. Security severity: the change disables the libvirt AppArmor security driver for BIOS guest tests. This lowers host isolation for those test VMs on CI runners. The impact is limited to the CI test environment, not shipped code. The other changes add Semgrep, OWASP Top Ten, security-audit, and pip-audit steps, which the title does not mention. That gap is minor and does not make the title misleading.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #1046 requires security_driver = "none" in qemu.conf for BIOS virt-tests on Ubuntu 26.04. .github/workflows/snapm.yml appends this setting when matrix.firmware is bios, before libvirtd starts. UEFI jobs do not receive this setting. No additional automated test requirement exists. Security severity is medium for runner isolation because QEMU AppArmor confinement is disabled. Impact is limited to BIOS jobs on disposable GitHub-hosted runners.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)
Full details: No-Hardcoded-Secrets
Explanation
No hardcoded secret was introduced. The pull request adds Semgrep and pip-audit commands plus the literal libvirt setting security_driver = "none"; these are not API keys, tokens, passwords, private keys, credential URLs, or base64 secrets. Risk severity: none; no secret exposure impact.
Full details: No-Weak-Crypto
Explanation
PASS: The PR changes only CI configuration. The added commands run Semgrep and pip-audit, and the BIOS workaround writes the libvirt setting security_driver = "none". The diff introduces no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, 3DES, Blowfish, ECB usage, custom cryptography, or secret comparisons. Risk severity: none for this check.
Full details: No-Injection-Vectors
Explanation
PASS — The pull request changes only .github/workflows/snapm.yml and .coderabbit.yaml. The added workflow commands use fixed package names, fixed Semgrep configurations, and a fixed security_driver string. No changed code introduces SQL concatenation, shell=True with user input, eval/exec, pickle.loads, unsafe yaml.load, or os.system.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The pull request also adds Semgrep and pip-audit execution to the Python job and changes .coderabbit.yaml review policies. These changes do not implement or test issue #1046. They expand CI security scanning and review configuration beyond the BIOS AppArmor workaround. Security impact is low to medium because the changes affect CI checks and review policy, not production runtime behavior.
Resolution
Remove the unrelated Semgrep, pip-audit, and .coderabbit.yaml changes, or link them to a separate active issue. Keep the BIOS-only qemu.conf change for issue #1046.

Fail the audit when dependency collection is incomplete.
pip-audit --desc does not enable strict dependency collection. The documented default for --strict is false. A collection failure can therefore leave the audit incomplete without failing this step. Severity: Minor. Add --strict to enforce the “report all dependency vulnerabilities” requirement. (github.com)
Suggested fix
- pip-audit --desc+ pip-audit --strict --desc
