About

OpenHound is a standardized framework for building and running OpenGraph collectors and converters. It is built in Python and powered by the Data Load Tool (DLT) library, giving you a consistent workflow to collect, process, and convert data from any source into BloodHound-compatible graphs.

The openhound-github extension collects resources from Github organizations and transforms these into useable nodes and edges for BloodHound.

GitHub App JWT issuer

Enterprise GitHub App credentials accept either client_id or app_id as the JWT issuer. When both are configured, client_id is preferred. At least one identifier must be supplied together with key_path and enterprise_name.

GitHub Enterprise Server endpoints

GitHub.com is the default deployment and does not require endpoint configuration. To collect from GitHub Enterprise Server, set both API endpoints in config.toml:

[sources.github]
rest_api_url = "https://ghe.example/api/v3"
graphql_url = "https://ghe.example/api/graphql"

Both values must be provided together when overriding the GitHub.com defaults. Endpoint URLs must use HTTPS and share the same origin. GitHub App credentials.api_uri may override only the path on that same origin.

Enterprise SCIM and hybrid correlations

A token with enterprise SCIM access is used to collect both /scim/v2/enterprises/{enterprise}/Users and /scim/v2/enterprises/{enterprise}/Groups. The collector emits normalized SCIM_Organization, SCIM_User, and SCIM_Group nodes plus SCIM_Contains, SCIM_MemberOf, and SCIM_Provisioned relationships. Install the BloodHound SCIM extension alongside this extension to register the shared SCIM kinds.

SOURCES__GITHUB__EMIT_LEGACY_SCIM_CORRELATIONS=true temporarily reproduces GitHound-style Okta-to-SCIM correlation relationships. It defaults to false because a dedicated hybrid correlator should own IdP-to-SCIM matching; GitHub remains authoritative for GitHub's SCIM resources and target-system provisioning relationships.

Enterprise roles, including the built-in members role, are emitted through GH_HasRole and granular enterprise capability relationships. Only capability relationships with a confirmed privilege path are traversable; descriptive permissions such as GH_WriteEnterpriseSso remain non-traversable.

Optional privileged collection

The collector runs successfully with the documented read-only permission set. Some higher-fidelity relationships require optional non-read-only permissions because GitHub exposes the supporting read APIs behind privileged permission names:

  • Organization Members: write enables external group mapping collection for IdP-synced teams, which allows the converter to emit SCIM_Provisioned edges from SCIM_Group to GH_Team. This is useful when the organization uses team synchronization with an external identity provider; if no GitHub teams are linked to external groups, this permission does not add graph data.
  • Classic PAT scope manage_runners:enterprise enables enterprise self-hosted runner group and runner collection. This is useful when the enterprise has enterprise-scoped runner groups or runners, especially runner groups shared into organizations; if all runners are organization- or repository-scoped, this scope does not add graph data.

If these optional permissions are not granted, OpenHound skips the affected resources and continues collecting the rest of the GitHub environment.
