Checkmarx One Jenkins Plugin

The Checkmarx One Jenkins plugin enables you to integrate the full functionality of the Checkmarx One platform into your Jenkins pipelines. You can use this plugin to trigger scans running Checkmarx SAST, Checkmarx SCA, IaC Security and API Security scanners as part of your CI/CD integration.

This plugin provides a wrapper around the Checkmarx One CLI Tool l which creates a zip archive from your source code repository and uploads it to Checkmarx One for scanning. This provides easy integration with Jenkins while enabling scan customization using the full functionality and flexibility of the CLI tool.

Note

The plugin code can be found here.
