Qwiet AI (formerly ShiftLeft) scanner reference for STO

You can scan your code repositories and ingest results from Qwiet.

For more information​

The following topics contain useful information for setting up scanner integrations in STO:

Security step settings for Qwiet scans in STO​

Target and variant​

The following settings are required for every Security step:

  • target_name A user-defined label for the code repository, container, application, or configuration to scan.
  • variant A user-defined label for the branch, tag, or other target variant to scan.
note

Make sure that you give unique, descriptive names for the target and variant. This makes navigating your scan results in the STO UI much easier.

You can see the target name, type, and variant in the Test Targets UI:

Target name, type, and branch

For more information, go to Targets, baselines, and variants in STO.

Qwiet AI scan settings​

  • product_name = shiftleft:
  • scan_type = repository
  • policy_type = orchestratedScan, dataLoad, or ingestionOnly
  • When policy_type is set to orchestratedScan or dataLoad:
    • product_access_id
    • product_access_token
    • product_app_name
    • product_target_language
  • product_config_name = default
  • fail_on_severity - See Fail on Severity.

Ingestion file​

If the policy_type is ingestionOnly:

  • ingestion_file = 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 results files 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​

Every Security step has a Fail on Severity setting. If the scan finds any vulnerability with the specified severity level or higher, the pipeline fails automatically. You can specify one of the following:

  • CRITICAL
  • HIGH
  • MEDIUM
  • LOW
  • INFO
  • NONE — Do not fail on severity

The YAML definition looks like this: fail_on_severity : critical # | high | medium | low | info | none
