GitLab Cloud

Overview

Checkmarx One supports GitLab integration, enabling automated scanning of your GitLab projects whenever the code is updated. Checkmarx One’s GitLab integration listens for GitLab 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.

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

Notice

This integration supports both public and private git based repos.

The integration is done on a per project basis, with a specific Checkmarx One Project corresponding to a specific GitLab repo.

Notice

You can select several repos to create multiple integrations in a bulk action.

Prerequisites

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

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