Veracode step configuration

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

Important notes for running Veracode scans in STO

• Before you can ingest scan results, you must perform all the Veracode prerequisites for the repo that you're scanning. If you're scanning a Java repo, for example, the Veracode documentation outlines the specific packaging and compilation requirements for scanning your Java applications.

  For specific requirements, go to the Veracode docs and search for Veracode Packaging Requirements.

• You also need access credentials so that STO can communicate with your Veracode instance. Harness recommends using API keys, not usernames and passwords, for your Veracode integrations

  For instructions, go to the Veracode docs and search for Generate Veracode API Credentials.

• Harness recommends you create text secrets for your authentication credentials — password, API key, API secret key, etc. — and access your secrets using <+secrets.getValue("my-secret")>.

Workflow descriptions

Orchestration/extraction workflows

This workflow applies to scanner integrations that support orchestratedScan or dataLoad scan modes.

1. Add a Build or Security stage to your pipeline.

2. If you're scanning a code repository, set up your codebase.

3. Add a Custom Scan step.

4. Review the Important notes for Custom Scan steps for additional requirements and relevant information.

   If you're setting up a scan on a Kubernetes or Docker build infrastructure, you need to add a Docker-in-Docker background step to the stage.

5. Add the relevant key:value pairs to Settings.

Ingestion workflows

This workflow applies to scanner integrations that support Ingestion mode.

1. Add a Build or Security stage to your pipeline.

2. Add a Run step and set it up to save your scan results to a shared folder.

   For more information, go to Run an ingestion scan in an STO Pipeline.

3. Add a Custom Scan step.

4. Review the Important notes for Custom Scan steps for additional requirements and relevant information.

5. Add the relevant key:value pairs to Settings.

Custom Scan step settings for Veracode scans

The recommended workflow is to add a Custom Scan step to a Security or Build stage and then configure it as described below.

Scanner settings

These settings are required for most scanners. For more information, go to the reference for the scanner integration you're setting up.

• Product name
• Scan type
• Policy type
• Product config name

Product name

The scanner name. This is required for all Custom Scan steps.

Key

product_name

Value

veracode

Scan type

The target type to scan.

Key

scan_type

Value

repository

Policy type

The scan mode to use.

Key

policy_type

Value

orchestratedScan

ingestionOnly

dataLoad

Product config name

Key

product_config_name

Value

default

Repository

These settings apply to Custom Scan steps when both of these conditions are true:

1. The policy_type is orchestratedScan or dataLoad.
2. The scan_type is repository.

• Repository project
• Repository branch

Repository project

Key

repository_project

Value

The name of the repo to scan. To specify the repo URL, edit the Codebase Config object in the Harness pipeline.

In most cases, this should match the repo name used in your Git provider.

Repository branch

Key

repository_branch

Value

The branch that gets reported in STO for the ingested results. In most cases, this field should match the name of the Git branch that is getting scanned.

You can specify a hardcoded string or use a variable such as <+codebase.branch> to specify the branch at runtime. For more information, go to CI codebase variables reference.

Product access

These settings are available to access your Veracode instance when policy_type is orchestratedScan or dataLoad.

You should create Harness text secrets for your encrypted passwords/tokens and reference them using the format <+secrets.getValue("my-access-token")>.

Product authorization type

Key

product_auth_type

Value

apiKey

Go to the Veracode docs and search for Generate Veracode API Credentials.

usernamePassword is not recommended.

Product access Id

Key

product_access_id

Value

Your API key.

Product access token

Key

product_access_token

Value

Your API Secret key.

Product application Id

Key

product_app_id

Value

To determine the App ID, go to the home page for the Veracode app with the results you want to scan. The App ID is the string immediately after the port number in the URL. Thus, for the following app, you would specify 1973759.

https://analysiscenter.veracode.com/auth/index.jsp#HomeAppProfile:88881:1973759

Ingestion file

This setting applies to Custom Scan steps when the policy_type is ingestionOnly.

Key

ingestion_file

Value

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 scan results 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

If the scan finds any vulnerability with the specified severity level or higher, the pipeline fails automatically. NONE means do not fail on severity.

For more information, go to:

• STO workflows for blocking builds and PRs.
• Exemptions to override Fail on Severity thresholds for specific issues in STO

Key

fail_on_severity

Value

CRITICAL

MEDIUM

LOW

INFO

NONE

View Veracode policy failures

Veracode policy failures will appear in scan results as Info severity issues, with the issue type set to EXTERNAL_POLICY. Successfully passed policies will not be included in the scan results. Additionally, you can apply OPA policies in Harness STO to enforce or manage the policy failures.

Veracode pipeline example (dataLoad)

The following pipeline example illustrates a dataLoad workflow to ingest data from Veracode. It consists of two steps:

1. A Background step that runs a Docker-in-Docker service (required if you're using a Custom Scan step to configure your integration).

2. A Custom Ingest step that specifies the information needed to ingest the scan results from the Veracode server.
