# SAST Analyzers **(ULTIMATE)**
|
|
|
|
SAST relies on underlying third party tools that are wrapped into what we call
|
|
"Analyzers". An analyzer is a
|
|
[dedicated project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers)
|
|
that wraps a particular tool to:
|
|
|
|
- Expose its detection logic.
|
|
- Handle its execution.
|
|
- Convert its output to the common format.
|
|
|
|
This is achieved by implementing the [common API](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/common).
|
|
|
|
SAST supports the following official analyzers:
|
|
|
|
- [`bandit`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/bandit) (Bandit)
|
|
- [`brakeman`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/brakeman) (Brakeman)
|
|
- [`eslint`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/eslint) (ESLint (JavaScript and React))
|
|
- [`flawfinder`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/flawfinder) (Flawfinder)
|
|
- [`gosec`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/gosec) (Gosec)
|
|
- [`kubesec`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/kubesec) (Kubesec)
|
|
- [`nodejs-scan`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/nodejs-scan) (NodeJsScan)
|
|
- [`phpcs-security-audit`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/phpcs-security-audit) (PHP CS security-audit)
|
|
- [`pmd-apex`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/pmd-apex) (PMD (Apex only))
|
|
- [`secrets`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/secrets) (Secrets (Gitleaks & TruffleHog secret detectors))
|
|
- [`security-code-scan`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/security-code-scan) (Security Code Scan (.NET))
|
|
- [`sobelow`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/sobelow) (Sobelow (Elixir Phoenix))
|
|
- [`spotbugs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/spotbugs) (SpotBugs with the Find Sec Bugs plugin (Ant, Gradle and wrapper, Grails, Maven and wrapper, SBT))
|
|
|
|
The analyzers are published as Docker images that SAST will use to launch
|
|
dedicated containers for each analysis.
|
|
|
|
SAST is pre-configured with a set of **default images** that are maintained by
|
|
GitLab, but users can also integrate their own **custom images**.
|
|
|
|
## Official default analyzers
|
|
|
|
Any custom change to the official analyzers can be achieved by using an
|
|
[environment variable in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`](index.md#customizing-the-sast-settings).
|
|
|
|
### Using a custom Docker mirror
|
|
|
|
You can switch to a custom Docker registry that provides the official analyzer
|
|
images under a different prefix. For instance, the following instructs
|
|
SAST to pull `my-docker-registry/gl-images/bandit`
|
|
instead of `registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/analyzers/bandit`.
|
|
In `.gitlab-ci.yml` define:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
include:
|
|
- template: SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
SECURE_ANALYZERS_PREFIX: my-docker-registry/gl-images
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This configuration requires that your custom registry provides images for all
|
|
the official analyzers.
|
|
|
|
### Selecting specific analyzers
|
|
|
|
You can select the official analyzers you want to run. Here's how to enable
|
|
`bandit` and `flawfinder` while disabling all the other default ones.
|
|
In `.gitlab-ci.yml` define:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
include:
|
|
- template: SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS: "bandit,flawfinder"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`bandit` runs first. When merging the reports, SAST will
|
|
remove the duplicates and will keep the `bandit` entries.
|
|
|
|
### Disabling default analyzers
|
|
|
|
Setting `SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS` to an empty string will disable all the official
|
|
default analyzers. In `.gitlab-ci.yml` define:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
include:
|
|
- template: SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
SAST_DEFAULT_ANALYZERS: ""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That's needed when one totally relies on [custom analyzers](#custom-analyzers).
|
|
|
|
## Custom Analyzers
|
|
|
|
### Custom analyzers with Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
When Docker-in-Docker for SAST is enabled,
|
|
you can provide your own analyzers as a comma-separated list of Docker images.
|
|
Here's how to add `analyzers/csharp` and `analyzers/perl` to the default images:
|
|
In `.gitlab-ci.yml` define:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
include:
|
|
- template: SAST.gitlab-ci.yml
|
|
|
|
variables:
|
|
SAST_ANALYZER_IMAGES: "my-docker-registry/analyzers/csharp,amy-docker-registry/analyzers/perl"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The values must be the full path to the container registry images,
|
|
like what you would feed to the `docker pull` command.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
This configuration doesn't benefit from the integrated detection step.
|
|
SAST has to fetch and spawn each Docker image to establish whether the
|
|
custom analyzer can scan the source code.
|
|
|
|
### Custom analyzers without Docker-in-Docker
|
|
|
|
When Docker-in-Docker for SAST is disabled, you can provide your own analyzers by
|
|
defining CI jobs in your CI configuration. For consistency, you should suffix your custom
|
|
SAST jobs with `-sast`. Here's how to add a scanning job that's based on the
|
|
Docker image `my-docker-registry/analyzers/csharp` and generates a SAST report
|
|
`gl-sast-report.json` when `/analyzer run` is executed. Define the following in
|
|
`.gitlab-ci.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
csharp-sast:
|
|
image:
|
|
name: "my-docker-registry/analyzers/csharp"
|
|
script:
|
|
- /analyzer run
|
|
artifacts:
|
|
reports:
|
|
sast: gl-sast-report.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The [Security Scanner Integration](../../../development/integrations/secure.md) documentation explains how to integrate custom security scanners into GitLab.

The values provided by these tools are heterogeneous so they are sometimes

normalized into common values (e.g., `severity`, `confidence`, etc).
