## Configuration

### Report Templates

Edit `config/report_config.json` to customize report structure:

- **Executive**: High-level for C-suite (1-2 pages)
- **Technical**: Detailed for engineers (10-50 pages)
- **Compliance**: Regulatory alignment (5-15 pages)

### Severity Rules

Edit `config/severity_rules.json` to adjust context-aware filtering:

```json
{
  "innerHTML": {
    "patterns": [
      {
        "pattern": "innerHTML\\s*=\\s*['\"]\\s*['\"]",
        "adjusted_severity": "INFO",
        "reason": "Clearing content - safe operation"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

### Branding

Edit `config/branding.json` for custom appearance:

```json
{
  "company_name": "Your Organization",
  "logo_path": "/path/to/logo.png",
  "primary_color": "#6366f1",
  "secondary_color": "#8b5cf6",
  "footer_text": "Confidential - Internal Use Only"
}
```

## Input Format

The plugin expects JSON files from `plugin-security-checker` with this structure:

```json
{
  "metadata": {
    "plugin_name": "example-plugin",
    "scan_date": "2025-10-29T10:30:00",
    "scanner_version": "3.0.0"
  },
  "findings": [
    {
      "severity": "CRITICAL",
      "category": "XSS",
      "description": "Potential cross-site scripting vulnerability",
      "code_snippet": "element.innerHTML = userInput;",
      "cvss_score": 9.1,
      "att&ck_techniques": ["T1059.006"],
      "owasp_categories": ["A03:2021-Injection"],
      "cwe_ids": ["CWE-79"]
    }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "total_findings": 10,
    "risk_score": 300,
    "risk_level": "CRITICAL"
  }
}
```

## Report Sections

### 1. Executive Summary
- Overall risk level and score
- Key statistics
- Business impact assessment
- Top 10 critical findings
- Recommended actions

### 2. Key Statistics
- Total plugins analyzed
- Findings by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
- Findings by category
- Scan date range

### 3. Top Risky Plugins
- Plugin name and risk score
- Number of findings (total and by severity)
- Risk level classification
- False positive count

### 4. Critical Findings
- Detailed description
- Code snippets
- Plugin context
- Framework mappings (ATT&CK, OWASP, CWE)
- Remediation recommendations

### 5. Framework Analysis
- MITRE ATT&CK coverage (techniques and tactics)
- MITRE ATLAS coverage (ML security)
- OWASP Top 10 alignment
- CWE weakness distribution

### 6. False Positive Analysis
- Original vs. adjusted findings
- Context-aware filtering results
- Severity adjustments
- False positive rate

## Context-Aware Features

### innerHTML Detection
- `innerHTML = ''` → INFO (safe clearing)
- `innerHTML = static HTML` → LOW (best practice: use textContent)
- `innerHTML = template` → MEDIUM (verify escaping)
- `innerHTML = userInput` → CRITICAL (real XSS risk)

### eval() Detection
- `eval('static string')` → MEDIUM (code smell)
- `eval(userInput)` → CRITICAL (code execution risk)

### File Operations
- `readFile('/static/path')` → LOW (safe)
- `readFile(userPath)` → CRITICAL (path traversal risk)

### Plugin Type Context
- Web UI plugins: Expected to use DOM manipulation (reduced penalties)
- CLI plugins: DOM usage is suspicious (increased severity)

## Integration with Plugin Security Checker

```bash
# Step 1: Scan plugins
python3 plugin-security-checker/scripts/scan_plugin.py \
  my-plugin/ \
  --output scan_results.json

# Step 2: Generate report
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input scan_results.json \
  --output report.html \
  --format html
```

## Performance

- **Parsing**: ~1,000 plugins/second
- **Analysis**: ~500 findings/second
- **Report Generation**:
  - HTML: <5 seconds for 1,000 plugins
  - PDF: <15 seconds for 1,000 plugins
  - DOCX: <10 seconds for 1,000 plugins

## Troubleshooting

### WeasyPrint Installation Issues

```bash
# macOS
brew install python3 cairo pango gdk-pixbuf libffi
pip install weasyprint

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-pip python3-cffi python3-brotli \
  libpango-1.0-0 libpangoft2-1.0-0 libcairo2
pip install weasyprint

# Windows
pip install weasyprint
# May require additional system dependencies
```

### Missing Framework Mappings

If framework mappings are not found:

```bash
# Copy from plugin-security-checker
cp plugin-security-checker/references/threat_mappings.json \
   security-report-builder/references/framework_mappings.json
```

### Large Result Sets

For very large scan results (10,000+ plugins):

```bash
# Filter by severity first
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input results/ \
  --output report.pdf \
  --format pdf \
  --min-severity HIGH  # Reduces dataset
```

## Best Practices

1. **Always apply false positive filtering** for cleaner reports
2. **Use Executive template** for management/C-suite audiences
3. **Use Technical template** for security engineers
4. **Use Compliance template** for auditors and regulators
5. **Include company branding** for customer-facing reports
6. **Generate all three formats** for maximum flexibility
7. **Archive reports with scan dates** for historical tracking
8. **Review severity rules** periodically based on your environment
9. **Update framework mappings** when MITRE releases new versions
10. **Test report generation** on sample data before production use

## Examples

### Example 1: Daily Security Report

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# daily_security_report.sh

DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
SCAN_DIR="scan_results/${DATE}"
REPORT_DIR="reports/${DATE}"

# Generate HTML for quick viewing
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input "${SCAN_DIR}" \
  --output "${REPORT_DIR}/daily_report.html" \
  --format html \
  --min-severity MEDIUM

# Email to security team (add email command)
```

### Example 2: Executive Quarterly Report

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# quarterly_executive_report.sh

QUARTER="2025-Q4"

# Generate executive PDF
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input "quarterly_scans/${QUARTER}/" \
  --output "reports/${QUARTER}_executive.pdf" \
  --format pdf \
  --template executive \
  --min-severity HIGH \
  --branding config/executive_branding.json
```

### Example 3: Compliance Audit Package

```bash
#!/bin/bash
# compliance_audit_package.sh

AUDIT_DATE="2025-10-29"

# Generate all formats for audit
python3 security-report-builder/scripts/generate_report.py \
  --input "compliance_scans/${AUDIT_DATE}/" \
  --output "audit_package/${AUDIT_DATE}/" \
  --formats html,pdf,docx \
  --template compliance \
  --branding config/compliance_branding.json

# Package for auditors
tar -czf "audit_package_${AUDIT_DATE}.tar.gz" "audit_package/${AUDIT_DATE}/"
```
