Checkov

Checkov Scan is an open-source static analysis tool that scans infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files to identify potential security risks and compliance violations.

Auditor Job Name: Checkov Scan Auditor image: registry.gitlab.com/whitespots-public/security-images/checkov:3.2.108 AppSec Portal Importer Name: Checkov Scan

Checkov supports various IaC formats, including Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS CloudFormation, and Azure Resource Manager templates. Checkov can be used to identify misconfigurations and enforce compliance with industry-standard policies and regulations.

Checkov Scan works by analyzing the code structure and applying a set of built-in and custom rules. The rules are written in YAML format and can be easily extended or modified to fit specific use cases. Each rule checks for a specific condition, such as the use of insecure protocols or the exposure of sensitive data, and generates a report with the findings. The report can be exported in various formats, such as JSON, HTML, or JUnit.

7. -F "scanner_name=<scanner_name>": specifies the name of the scanner used to generate the report (Checkov Scan)

8. -F "branch=<branch_name>": (optional) specifies the name of the branch in the source code repository (if applicable) This parameter is particularly useful when you want to associate the scan results with a specific branch in your repository. If not provided, the scan will be associated with the default branch
