Ensure pipelines are automatically scanned for vulnerabilities
MediumLevel 1Manual reviewgitlab
Description
Scan pipelines for vulnerabilities. It is recommended that this be implemented automatically. Automatic scanning for vulnerabilities detects known vulnerabilities in pipeline instructions and components, allowing faster patching in case one is found. These vulnerabilities can lead to a potentially massive breach if not handled as fast as possible, as attackers might also be aware of such vulnerabilities.
How it is checked
Audit method: Manual review
This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.
For each pipeline, verify that it is automatically scanned for vulnerabilities.
How it is fixed
Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch
For each pipeline, set automated vulnerability scanning.
