Onboard CI/CD systems to scan for configuration threats in your organization's instance, pipelines, and individual repositories. By onboarding supported version control systems (such as GitHub and GitLab) , you gain out-of-the-box CI/CD scanning capabilities. However, you must explicitly onboard CircleCI and Jenkins to enable scanning for these systems.

Onboarding CI/CD systems provides the following:

  • Organization instance configuration threats: This type of scan detects security issues at the level of the overall organization's instance of a version control system (VCS), such as GitHub. For example, it can flag risks such as Project webhook SSL verification disabled or Variable is not scoped to an environment.

  • Pipeline configuration risks: This scan identifies security risks within the configuration of your pipelines. Examples of risks it detects include Excessive GitHub Action permissions, using an unpinned container image in a pipeline, or CI instance accesses cloud provider using insecure long-term credentials

  • Repository configuration issues: This scan checks problems with the settings and configurations of individual code repositories. Examples include Forking of a private repository is allowed and A change in settings so that a review is no longer required before merging code
