Checkmarx CxFlow Github Action

Checkmarx CxFlow GitHub Action with SARIF output.

Publish Security Alerts (CodeQL) associated with the code in your Github Repository using Checkmarx with this Github Action Integration.

This is a Wrapper to trigger scans the latest version of CxFlow through Docker to launch Checkmarx SAST or SCA Scans.

• Checkmarx SAST (CxSAST) is an enterprise-grade flexible and accurate static analysis solution used to identify hundreds of security vulnerabilities in custom code. It is used by development, DevOps, and security teams to scan source code early in the SDLC, identify vulnerabilities and provide actionable insights to remediate them.
• Checkmarx SCA (CxSCA) is an effective next-gen software composition analysis solution designed to help development teams ship secure software quickly while giving AppSec teams the insight and control they need to improve your software security risk posture.
• Checkmarx Flow (CxFlow) is an SDLC orchestration module managing AST scan initiation and results manangement.

Outputs

The default output format for this GitHub Action is a SARIF output report stored in the working directory as ./cx.sarif

For full documentation on all the supported output formats and defect management integration, please see the following.

SARIF Report

The file ./cx.sarif is created containing issue details based on the filtering policy of CxFlow. To make use of the report for CodeQL please make sure the following is considered. See sample useage below.

Example usage

    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
    steps:
    # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    # Scan code with Checkmarx
    - name: Checkmarx CxFlow Action
      uses: checkmarx-ts/[email protected]
      with:
        project: GithubActionTest
