Description and type added to CI/CD catalog component input details
Description and type added to CI/CD catalog component input details
The details page for a CI/CD component in the catalog provides useful information about the component. In this release we’ve added two more columns to the table that shows information about available inputs. The new Description and Type columns make it much easier to understand what an input is used for, and what type of value is expected.
Enforce the ruleset used in SAST, IaC Scanning, and Secret Detection
Enforce the ruleset used in SAST, IaC Scanning, and Secret Detection
You can customize the rules used in SAST, IaC Scanning, and Secret Detection by creating a local configuration file committed in the repository or by setting a CI/CD variable to apply a shared configuration across multiple projects.
Previously, scanners preferred the local configuration file, even if you also set a shared ruleset reference. This precedence order made it difficult to ensure that scans would use a known, trusted ruleset.
Now, we’ve added a new CI/CD variable, SECURE_ENABLE_LOCAL_CONFIGURATION, to control whether local configuration files are allowed.
It defaults to true, which keeps the existing behavior: local configuration files are allowed and are preferred over shared configurations.
If you set the value to false when you enforce scan execution, you can be sure that scans use your shared ruleset, or the default ruleset, even if project developers add a local configuration file.
