- Manually specifying the job definition. Not recommended unless using GitLab
11.8 and earlier.
### Including the provided template
NOTE: **Note:**
The CI/CD Dependency Scanning template is supported on GitLab 11.9 and later versions.
For earlier versions, use the [manual job definition](#manual-job-definition-for-gitlab-115-and-later).
A CI/CD [Dependency Scanning template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml)
with the default Dependency Scanning job definition is provided as a part of your GitLab
installation which you can [include](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#includetemplate)
in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
To enable Dependency Scanning using the provided template, add the following to
your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
```yaml
include:
template: Dependency-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml
```
The included template will create a `dependency_scanning` job in your CI/CD
pipeline and scan your project's source code for possible vulnerabilities.
"message": "Regular Expression Denial of Service in debug",
"description": "The debug module is vulnerable to regular expression denial of service when untrusted user input is passed into the `o` formatter. It takes around 50k characters to block for 2 seconds making this a low severity issue.",
"name": "Authentication bypass via incorrect DOM traversal and canonicalization",
"message": "Authentication bypass via incorrect DOM traversal and canonicalization in saml2-js",
"description": "Some XML DOM traversal and canonicalization APIs may be inconsistent in handling of comments within XML nodes. Incorrect use of these APIs by some SAML libraries results in incorrect parsing of the inner text of XML nodes such that any inner text after the comment is lost prior to cryptographically signing the SAML message. Text after the comment therefore has no impact on the signature on the SAML message.\r\n\r\nA remote attacker can modify SAML content for a SAML service provider without invalidating the cryptographic signature, which may allow attackers to bypass primary authentication for the affected SAML service provider.",
| `version` | Report syntax version used to generate this JSON. |
| `vulnerabilities` | Array of vulnerability objects. |
| `vulnerabilities[].category` | Where this vulnerability belongs (SAST, Dependency Scanning etc.). For Dependency Scanning, it will always be `dependency_scanning`. |
| `vulnerabilities[].name` | Name of the vulnerability, this must not include the occurrence's specific information. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].message` | A short text that describes the vulnerability, it may include occurrence's specific information. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].description` | A long text that describes the vulnerability. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].cve` | A fingerprint string value that represents a concrete occurrence of the vulnerability. It's used to determine whether two vulnerability occurrences are same or different. May not be 100% accurate. **This is NOT a [CVE](https://cve.mitre.org/)**. |
| `vulnerabilities[].severity` | How much the vulnerability impacts the software. Possible values: `Undefined` (an analyzer has not provided this info), `Info`, `Unknown`, `Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Critical`. |
| `vulnerabilities[].confidence` | How reliable the vulnerability's assessment is. Possible values: `Undefined` (an analyzer has not provided this info), `Ignore`, `Unknown`, `Experimental`, `Low`, `Medium`, `High`, `Confirmed`. |
| `vulnerabilities[].solution` | Explanation of how to fix the vulnerability. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.file` | Path to the dependencies file (e.g., `yarn.lock`). Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency` | A node that describes the dependency of a project where the vulnerability is located. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency.package` | A node that provides the information on the package where the vulnerability is located. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency.package.name` | Name of the package where the vulnerability is located. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].location.dependency.version` | Version of the vulnerable package. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers` | An ordered array of references that identify a vulnerability on internal or external DBs. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].type` | Type of the identifier. Possible values: common identifier types (among `cve`, `cwe`, `osvdb`, and `usn`) or analyzer-dependent ones (e.g. `gemnasium` for [Gemnasium](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gemnasium/)). |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].name` | Name of the identifier for display purpose. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].value` | Value of the identifier for matching purpose. |
| `vulnerabilities[].identifiers[].url` | URL to identifier's documentation. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].links` | An array of references to external documentation pieces or articles that describe the vulnerability further. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].links[].name` | Name of the vulnerability details link. Optional. |
| `vulnerabilities[].links[].url` | URL of the vulnerability details document. Optional. |
| `remediations` | An array of objects containing information on cured vulnerabilities along with patch diffs to apply. Empty if no remediations provided by an underlying analyzer. |
