Bitbucket Self-Hosted

Notice

It is possible to add the Checkmarx One external IP addresses to the customer Firewall allowlist - For more information see Checkmarx One External IPs

Additionally, if the code repository is not internet accessible, it is possible to configure the code repository IP address instead of its hostname during the initial integration with the code repository - as it is not resolved via DNS.

Overview

Checkmarx One supports Bitbucket integration, enabling automated scanning of your Bitbucket projects whenever the code is updated. Checkmarx One’s Bitbucket integration listens for Bitbucket commit events and uses a webhook to trigger Checkmarx scans when a push, or a pull request occurs. Once a scan is completed, the results can be viewed in Checkmarx One.

Additionally, for pull requests, a comment is created in Bitbucket, which includes a scan summary, list of vulnerabilities and a link to view the scan results in Checkmarx One.

The integration is performed on a per-project basis, where a dedicated Checkmarx One Project corresponds to a specific Bitbucket repository. You can select several repositories to create multiple integrations in a bulk action.

Checkmarx One supports integration with only one Bitbucket self-hosted instance. Following a successful integration, the instance cannot be removed but can be updated, provided there are sufficient Checkmarx One permissions. To remove an existing instance please contact the Checkmarx One support team.

Notice

This integration supports both public and private git based repos.

Prerequisites

  • The source code for your project is hosted on a Bitbucket repo.

  • You have a Checkmarx One account and have credentials to log in to your account.

  • The Bitbucket user has Admin privileges for this repository, see Code Repository Integrations.

To integrate Bitbucket self-hosted with Checkmarx One, a Bitbucket authentication token is required.

For Bitbucket versions earlier than 7.1, the integration supports Personal Access Tokens.

For Bitbucket version 7.1 and above, the integration supports only HTTP Access Tokens and only for the Organization associated with the current User. For any other Organization or Group HTTP Access Tokens are not supported. The integration scope is defined in step 4 of the Setting up the Integration and Initiating a Scan.

For additional information on how to create HTTP access tokens see Bitbucket HTTP access tokens.

Note

The example below relates to Bitbucket self-hosted versions earlier than 7.1.

To retrieve your Bitbucket Username & Token, perform the following steps:

  1. In your Bitbucket account, click on your user > View Profile.

    Note

    • A separate Checkmarx One Project will be created for each repo that you import.

    • There can’t be more than one Checkmarx One Project per repo. Therefore, once a Project has been created for a repo, that repo is greyed out in the Import dialog.
