upload-sarif does not handle relative paths when trivy runs on a subfolder

Reproduza o workflow mostrado com o Trivy ao fazer o scan de terraform/01-bootstrap e upload-sarif e, em seguida, inspecione a action upload-sarif e a entrada checkout_path referenciada em analyze/action.yml. Compare como os URIs relativos de artefatos, uriBaseId e os caminhos de checkout são tratados; a tarefa estará concluída quando os findings aparecerem em caminhos como terraform/01-bootstrap/eks.tf na aba de segurança.

Originally posted by @rofreytag in #2215

I run into an issue when using trivy config scan on a subfolder. The reported issues appear in the security tab, but the folder/path reference of files inside the repo is not correctly presented.

Example finding:

The expected path should be terraform/01-bootstrap/eks.tf.

The generated sarif file by trivy:

• uses URLs relative to terraform/some-module (i.e. main.tf)
• uses relative URLs for module invocations like ../modules/other-module/main.tf.
• includes the correct uriBaseId

GitHub interprets all these URls relative to the repo root without using uriBaseId.

I am happy to try a workaround, but currently

• I can not yet find a way to make trivy generate absolute URLs, which I believe resolves the issue.
• Neither can I tell the upload-action that I am using relative URLs in my repo

expected behavior

Either have the upload-action use the uriBaseId of the sarif file, or

have an existing param like checkout_path (or a new param) in the action, to respect and transform relative URLs, so that they correctly appear in the report.

Example:

     - name: Upload Trivy scan results to GitHub Security tab
       uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@ff0a06e83cb2de871e5a09832bc6a81e7276941f # v3.28.18
       with:
         sarif_file: 'trivy-results.sarif'
         category: trivy-my-module
         checkout_path: ${{ github.workspace }}/terraform/01-bootstrap/

Here an excerpt of the generated sarif file that shows the URLs of each finding

                },

                  "uriBaseId": "ROOTPATH"
                },

and the originalUriBaseId section at the end:

      "originalUriBaseIds": {
        "ROOTPATH": {
          "uri": "file:///home/runner/work/redacted/redacted/terraform/01-bootstrap/"
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
