| AFL (any language that works on top of AFL) | [AFL](https://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/) | [afl-fuzzing-example](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/demos/coverage-fuzzing/afl-fuzzing-example) |
| `COVFUZZ_ADDITIONAL_ARGS` | Arguments passed to `gitlab-cov-fuzz`. Used to customize the behavior of the underlying fuzzing engine. Read the fuzzing engine's documentation for a complete list of arguments. |
| `COVFUZZ_BRANCH` | The branch on which long-running fuzzing jobs are to be run. On all other branches, only fuzzing regression tests are run. Default: Repository's default branch. |
| `COVFUZZ_SEED_CORPUS` | Path to a seed corpus directory. Default: empty. |
| `COVFUZZ_URL_PREFIX` | Path to the `gitlab-cov-fuzz` repository cloned for use with an offline environment. You should only change this value when using an offline environment. Default: `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gitlab-cov-fuzz/-/raw`. |
| `COVFUZZ_USE_REGISTRY` | Set to `true` to have the corpus stored in the GitLab corpus registry. The variables `COVFUZZ_CORPUS_NAME` and `COVFUZZ_GITLAB_TOKEN` are required if this variable is set to `true`. Default: `false`. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5017) in GitLab 14.8. |
| `COVFUZZ_CORPUS_NAME` | Name of the corpus to be used in the job. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5017) in GitLab 14.8. |
| `COVFUZZ_GITLAB_TOKEN` | Environment variable configured with [Personal Access Token](../../../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md#create-a-personal-access-token) or [Project Access Token](../../../user/project/settings/project_access_tokens.md#create-a-project-access-token) with API read/write access. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5017) in GitLab 14.8. |
artifacts files you can download from the CI/CD pipeline. Also, a project member with a Reporter or above privilege can download the corpus using the direct download link.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Security & Compliance > Configuration**.
1. In the **Coverage Fuzzing** section, select **Manage corpus**.
1. Select **New corpus**.
1. Complete the fields.
1. Select **Upload file**.
1. Select **Add**.
You can now reference the corpus in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. Ensure the value used in the
`COVFUZZ_CORPUS_NAME` variable matches exactly the name given to the uploaded corpus file.
### Use a corpus stored in the corpus registry
To use a corpus stored in the corpus registry, you must reference it by its name. To confirm the
name of the relevant corpus, view details of the corpus registry.
Prerequisites:
- [Enable coverage-guide fuzz testing](#enable-coverage-guided-fuzz-testing) in the project.
1. Set the following variables in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
- Set `COVFUZZ_USE_REGISTRY` to `true`.
- Set `COVFUZZ_CORPUS_NAME` to the name of the corpus.
- Set `COVFUZZ_GITLAB_TOKEN` to the value of the personal access token.

For a complete example, read the [Go coverage-guided fuzzing example](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/demos/coverage-fuzzing/go-fuzzing-example/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml).
The following is an extract of the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for this
workflow. For the full example, see the [Go fuzzing example's repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/demos/coverage-fuzzing/go-fuzzing-example/-/tree/continuous_fuzzing):
1.`sync_fuzzing`: Runs all your fuzz targets for a short period of time in a blocking
configuration. This finds simple bugs and allows you to be confident that your MRs aren't
introducing new bugs or causing old bugs to reappear.
1.`async_fuzzing`: Runs on your branch and finds deep bugs in your code without blocking your
development cycle and MRs.
The `covfuzz-ci.yml` is the same as that in the [original synchronous example](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/demos/coverage-fuzzing/go-fuzzing-example#running-go-fuzz-from-ci).
[Starting in GitLab 15.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/352549) the coverage fuzzing binary is compiled with `golang-fips` on Linux x86 and uses OpenSSL as the cryptographic backend. For more details, see [FIPS compliance at GitLab with Go](../../../development/fips_compliance.md#go).
