Fortify Static Code Analyzer scanner reference for STO



You can ingest repository scan results from Fortify Static Code Analyzer.

Workflow description

This workflow applies to scanner integrations that support Ingestion mode.

  1. Add a Build or Security stage to your pipeline.

  2. Add a Run step and set it up to save your scan results to a shared folder.

    For more information, go to Run an ingestion scan in an STO Pipeline.

  3. Add a Custom Scan step.

  4. Review the Important notes for Custom Scan steps for additional requirements and relevant information.

  5. Add the relevant key:value pairs to Settings.

Custom Scan step settings for Fortify scans

Scanner settings

These settings are required for most scanners. For more information, go to the reference for the scanner integration you're setting up.

Product name

The scanner name. This is required for all Custom Scan steps.

Key
product_name
Value
fortify

Scan type

The target type to scan.

Key
scan_type
Value
repository

Policy type

Key
policy_type
Value
ingestionOnly

Product config name

Key
product_config_name
Value
default

Target and variant

Every Custom Scan step needs a target and baseline.

Target name

Key
target_name
Value

A user-defined label for the code repository, container, application, or configuration to scan. Specify a unique, descriptive name. This makes it much easier to navigate your scan results in the STO UI.

Target variant

Key
target_variant
Value

A user-defined label for the branch, tag, or other target variant to scan.

Ingestion file

This setting applies to Custom Scan steps when the policy_type is ingestionOnly.

Key
ingestion_file
Value

The path to your scan results when running an Ingestion scan, for example /shared/scan_results/myscan.latest.sarif.

  • The data file must be in a supported format for the scanner.

  • The data file must be accessible to the scan step. It's good practice to save your scan results to a shared path in your stage. In the visual editor, go to the stage where you're running the scan. Then go to Overview > Shared Paths. You can also add the path to the YAML stage definition like this:

        - stage:
    spec:
    sharedPaths:
    - /shared/scan_results

Fail on Severity

If the scan finds any vulnerability with the specified severity level or higher, the pipeline fails automatically. NONE means do not fail on severity.

For more information, go to Stop builds based on scan results.

Key
fail_on_severity
Value
CRITICAL
MEDIUM
LOW
INFO
NONE
