Introduction​

With Conviso Platform integrated into your Gitlab Secure CI/CD Pipeline, you can automate and streamline your security processes, ensuring that your applications undergo thorough security assessments throughout the development lifecycle.

You can run the Conviso Platform AST (Application Security Testing). The tool offers both Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and Code Review directly on your Gitlab pipeline.

The CLI is a docker image in this integration for all execution and connection with the Conviso Platform.

Explore our Integration page to learn more and supercharge your Application Security Program with Conviso Platform.

Prerequisites​

info

This integration works for both Cloud and On-Premises Gitlab solutions.

Before you can use Conviso Platform with Gitlab, you need to make sure that:

  • You have your API Key, which is a code that identifies you to Conviso Platform. Find yours using this tutorial.

  • You must also set an environment variable for the runner: CONVISO_API_KEY. This code tells Conviso Platform which account you are using. To do this on Gitlab, you must:

    • Go to your project’s Settings > CI/CD and expand the Variables section.
    • Select Add variable and fill in the detail.

  • After you create a variable, you can use it in the .gitlab-ci.ymlconfiguration file or in job scripts. To make the .gitlab-ci.yml file, go to your repository page and click on “CI/CD Configuration”:

Perform a Conviso AST scan to analyze your application's security​

Harness the power of Application Security Testing (AST) by incorporating the Conviso AST scan into your application's security analysis. This versatile tool combines Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), and Code Review capabilities, providing comprehensive security analysis directly within your pipeline.

Follow the steps below to integrate Security Code Review seamlessly into your pipeline, creating a comprehensive solution within your .gitlab-ci.yml file:

conviso-ast:
    image: convisoappsec/convisocli:latest
    services:
        - docker:dind
    only:
        variables:
            - $CONVISO_API_KEY
    script:
        - conviso ast run
    tags:
        - docker

The identified vulnerabilities will be automatically sent to your Project on Conviso Platform. Now you can use the Vulnerabilities resource to work on the correction flow.

Run a scan exclusively using Conviso SAST​

The steps below will show you what your .gitlab-ci.yml must have to perform Static Application Security Testing (SAST):

conviso-sast:
    image: convisoappsec/convisocli:latest
    services:
        - docker:dind
    only:
        variables:
            - $CONVISO_API_KEY
    script:
        - conviso sast run
    tags:
        - docker

Alternatively, you can specify the diff range manually. In the example below, we scan between the current commit and the immediately previous one on the current branch:

conviso-sast:
    image: convisoappsec/convisocli:latest
    services:
        - docker:dind
    only:
        variables:
            - $CONVISO_API_KEY
    before_script:
        - export START_COMMIT=`git rev-parse @~1`
    script:
        - conviso sast run --start-commit $START_COMMIT --end-commit $CI_COMMIT_SHA

Run a scan exclusively using Conviso SCA​

The steps below will show you what your .gitlab-ci.yml must have to perform Software Composition Analysis (SCA):

conviso-sca:
    image: convisoappsec/convisocli:latest
    services:
        - docker:dind
    only:
        variables:
            - $CONVISO_API_KEY
    script:
        - conviso sca run
    tags:
        - docker
