Specifically, the CSI focuses on security hardening best practices for continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) cloud deployments.\n\nLet's take a look at the relevant threats, recommended countermeasures, and how the [GitLab DevSecOps Platform](https://about.gitlab.com/platform/) can support the implementation and enforcement of the countermeasures to help secure your CI/CD environment.\n\n## CI/CD environments are under threat\nOver the past few years, the software supply chain, and specifically CI/CD environments, have become a persistent and valuable target for malicious actors. Theft of proprietary code and data, injection of malicious links and redirects, and denial-of-service attacks are a few examples of why CI/CD environments have been such lucrative targets for threat actors.\n\nThe CSI outlines examples of common risks in CI/CD pipelines. These risks include:\n* insecure first-party code\n* insecure third-party code\n* poisoned pipeline execution\n* insufficient pipeline access controls\n* insecure system configuration\n* usage of insecure third-party services\n* exposure of secrets\n\nAdditional context can be found in the CSI and in [OWASP's top 10 CI/CD security risks](https://owasp.org/www-project-top-10-ci-cd-security-risks/).\n\nNote: The CSI contains helpful information on potential threat scenarios and illustrations to help visualize different attack vectors.\n\n## Hardening recommendations for CI/CD environment\nAs a single, all-inclusive DevSecOps platform, GitLab's features support the implementation of the recommended mitigations from the NSA and CISA.\n\n### Authentication and access mitigation\nHere are the features that align with authentication and access mitigation.\n\n#### Use NSA-recommended cryptography\n_\"NSA and CISA recommend the implementation and configuration of strong cryptographic algorithms when configuring cloud applications and services.\"_\n\nGitLab's [GitLab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/) and [GitLab Dedicated](https://about.gitlab.com/dedicated/) SaaS solutions implement TLS 1.2+ for encrypting data in transit and AES-256-bit encryption for data at rest. You can learn more about our approach to cryptography in our [Cryptography Standard](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/security/policies_and_standards/cryptographic-standard/).\n\n#### Minimize the use of long-term credentials\n_\"Use strong credentials that are resistant to stealing, phishing, guessing, and replaying wherever and whenever possible.\"_\n\nTo support the use of strong credentials, GitLab enables you to centralize authentication and authorization responsibilities for your GitLab instance through [SAML SSO](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/saml_sso/) integrations. GitLab integrates with a wide range of identity providers to support our customers’ diverse tech stacks. GitLab also supports the System for Cross-Domain Identity Management ([SCIM](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/group/saml_sso/scim_setup.html)). Through GitLab’s SSO and SCIM integrations, you can automate the lifecycle of your user identities in a secure and efficient manner.\n\n[SSO](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/saml.html) and [SCIM](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/scim_setup.html) are also available for GitLab self-managed customers.\n\nGitLab supports [two-factor authentication](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/account/two_factor_authentication.html). Customers can enable one or both of the following second factors of authentication:\n\n* time-based one-time passwords ([TOTP](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6238))\n* WebAuthn devices\n\n> Check out our [Ultimate guide to enabling SAML and SSO on GitLab.com](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-enabling-saml/) for more information.\n\n#### Add signature to CI/CD configuration and verify it\n_\"NSA and CISA recommend implementing secure code signing to establish digital trust\nwithin the CI/CD pipeline.\"_\n\nGitLab enables its customers to [sign commits](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/signed_commits/) using:\n* an [SSH key](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/signed_commits/ssh.html)\n* a [GPG key](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/signed_commits/gpg.html)\n* a [personal x.509 certificate](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/signed_commits/x509.html)\n\nGitLab's [push rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/push_rules.html) feature can also be used to reject individual commits if they are not signed with GPG, or you can choose to reject all commits from unverified users.\n\n![Signed commits](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2023-09-07-how-gitlab-supports-the-nsa-and-cisa-cicd-security-guidance/signed-commits.png)\n\nSigned commits verified and unverified badges\n\n\n#### Utilize two-person rules (2PR) for all code updates\n_\"No single developer should be able to check in code without another developer\nreviewing and approving the changes.\"_\n\nGitLab enables users to configure their [merge requests](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/) (MRs) so that they must be approved before they can be merged. MR approvals allow users to set the minimum number of required approvals before work can merge into a project. Some examples of rules you can create include:\n* Users with specific permissions can always approve work.\n* [Code owners](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/codeowners/index.html) can approve work for files they own.\n* Users with specific permissions can approve work, [even if they don’t have merge rights](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/rules.html#merge-request-approval-segregation-of-duties) to the repository.\n* Users with specific permissions can be allowed or denied the ability to [override approval rules on a specific MR](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/rules.html#edit-or-override-merge-request-approval-rules).\n\nGitLab's MR approval [rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/rules.html) and [settings](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/settings.html) can be configured and adapted to meet your organization's requirements and align with your risk tolerance.\n\n![MR approval settings](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2023-09-07-how-gitlab-supports-the-nsa-and-cisa-cicd-security-guidance/mr-approval-settings.png)\n\nExample of MR approval requirements\n\n\n#### Implement least-privilege policies for CI/CD access\n_\"The CI/CD pipeline should not be accessible by everyone in the organization.\"\n\"Mitigate password risks by implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA).\"_\n\nGitLab enables you to [assign users a role](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html) when you add them to a project or group. A user’s role determines the actions they can take within your GitLab instance. The following roles are available for assignment:\n* Guest (private and internal projects only)\n* Reporter\n* Developer\n* Maintainer\n* Owner\n* Minimal access (available for the top-level group only)\n\nGitLab's role-based access control (RBAC) model enables you to limit a user’s permissions in accordance with the [principle of least privilege](https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/least_privilege) and your business and information security requirements.\n\nAs mentioned [above](#minimize-the-use-of-long-term-credentials), GitLab supports two-factor authentication and can integrate with several SSO providers to support your tech stack and help you centralize authentication and authorization responsibilities.\n\n#### Secure user accounts\n_\"Regularly audit administrative user accounts and configure access controls under the\nprinciples of least privilege and separation of duties. Audit logs to ensure new accounts\nare legitimate.\"_\n\nAs mentioned in the [previous section](#implement-least-privilege-policies-for-cicd-access), GitLab enables you to assign roles and associated permissions to your users in a way that aligns with your business and information security requirements. GitLab's authorization feature enables you to support the principle of least privilege and the concept of separation of duties.\n\nKeep reading to understand how GitLab supports the NSA and CISA's audit log guidance.\n\n#### Secure secrets\n_\"Secure handling of secrets, tokens, and other credentials is crucial in a CI/CD pipeline.\"_\n\nGitLab's [secret detection](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/secret_detection/) enables users to scan their repositories for exposed secrets and take action based on the scan results.\n\nWith secret detection, users can see scan results in multiple places such as GitLab's [vulnerability report](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/vulnerability_report/index.html) and [security dashboard](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/security_dashboard/), and users can configure [automatic responses to leaked secrets](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/secret_detection/automatic_response.html).\n\n### Development process mitigations\nHere are features that support development process mitigations.\n\n#### Integrate security scanning as part of the CI/CD pipeline\n_\"Include security scanning early in the CI/CD process.\"_\n\nThe CSI recommends the implementation of the following tools:\n* static application security testing (SAST)\n* registry scanning\n* dynamic analysis security testing\n\nGitLab supports these recommendations through its [SAST](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/), [dynamic application security testing (DAST)](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dast/), [container scanning](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/container_scanning/), and [dependency scanning](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_scanning/) features. GitLab also offers additional scanning features such as [code quality](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/testing/code_quality.html) and [dynamic API security testing (DAST API)](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dast_api/).\n\nTogether, these [Secure stage](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/feature-comparison/) features provide comprehensive coverage to help you write secure code faster.\n\n#### Restrict untrusted libraries and tools\n_\"Only use software, tools, libraries, and artifacts from secure and trusted sources.\"_\n\nIn addition to [dependency scanning](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_scanning/), GitLab's [license compliance](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/compliance/license_compliance/index.html) feature enables organizations to incorporate trusted dependencies into their codebase that meet their unique business and security requirements.\n\nWith license compliance, you can check that your dependencies' licenses are compatible with your business and security requirements, and you can approve or deny dependencies based on configured license approval policies.\n\nNote: License compliance is only available for GitLab Ultimate users.\n\n#### Analyze committed code\n_\"Securing the CI/CD pipeline involves analyzing the code that is being committed, which can be achieved manually or by using automated tools.\"_\n\nAs an all-inclusive DevSecOps platform, GitLab supports a seamless and comprehensive approach to reviewing code changes.\n\nWith the scanning features mentioned [above](#integrate-security-scanning-as-part-of-the-cicd-pipeline), you can enable automated code reviews to help identify vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and policy violations.\n\nGitLab's [MR review](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/reviews/) feature streamlines the manual code review process. [Suggested Reviewers](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/reviews/#suggested-reviewers) makes it easy to identify users who are authorized to review and merge your changes.\n\n![Suggested Reviewers](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2023-09-07-how-gitlab-supports-the-nsa-and-cisa-cicd-security-guidance/suggested-reviewers.png){: .shadow.small.center}\n\nSuggested Reviewers\n\n\nMR approval [rules](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/rules.html) and [settings](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/settings.html) help ensure your code review requirements are enforced in a programmatic way.\n\n#### Remove any temporary resources\n_\"A CI/CD pipeline may also create temporary resources, such as virtual machines or Kubernetes clusters, to run tests. While test environments are usually always live, these temporary resources are meant to be created for a single test purpose and must be destroyed after the pipeline run.\"_\n\nWithin GitLab, a temporary runner VM hosts and runs each CI job. GitLab automatically issues a command to remove the temporary runner VM immediately after the CI job completes. Additional details on this process can be found in our documentation for [Security for SaaS runners](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/#security-for-saas-runners).\n\n#### Keep audit logs\n_\"An audit log should provide clear information on who committed, reviewed, and deployed what, when, and where.\"_\n\nAs outlined in this [blog post](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/how-gitlab-can-support-your-iso-compliance-journey/), GitLab enables you to use [audit events](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/audit_events.html) to track important events, including who performed the related action and when. Audit events cover a broad range of categories, including:\n* group management\n* authentication and authorization\n* user management\n* compliance and security\n* CI/CD\n* GitLab Runners\n\n![Audit events](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2023-08-24-how-gitlab-can-support-your-iso-compliance-journey/example-of-an-audit-event.png)\n\nExample of an audit event\n\n\nFor [Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/ultimate/) customers, [audit event streaming](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/audit_event_streaming/index.html) can be enabled. Audit event streaming enables users to set a streaming destination for a top-level group or instance to receive all audit events about the group, subgroups, and projects, as structured JSON.\n\n#### Implement an SBOM and SCA\n_\"A software bill of materials (SBOM) and software composition analysis (SCA) can play a useful role in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and in DevSecOps by helping to track all third-party and open source components in the codebase.\"_\n\nGitLab's [dependency list](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dependency_list/) feature enables you to review your project or group’s dependencies, including their known vulnerabilities.\n\nCombining GitLab's dependency list feature with its [SCA](#restrict-untrusted-libraries-and-tools) suite of features supports a comprehensive strategy for identifying and remediating vulnerabilities and risks within your supply chain.\n\n![Dependency List](https://about.gitlab.com/images/blogimages/2023-09-07-how-gitlab-supports-the-nsa-and-cisa-cicd-security-guidance/dependency-list.png)\n\nExample of dependency list results\n\n\nNote: Dependency list is only available for GitLab Ultimate users.\n\n#### Plan, build, and test for resiliency\n_\"Build the pipeline for high availability, and test for disaster recovery periodically.\"_\n\nAs a SaaS provider, GitLab prioritizes your resiliency and efficiency needs. We maintain robust [business continuity](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/business-technology/entapps-documentation/policies/gitlab-business-continuity-plan/) and [disaster recovery](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/readiness/-/blob/master/library/disaster-recovery/index.md) strategies to support the availability of the GitLab platform, and we provide helpful strategies for GitLab users to maintain [pipeline efficiency](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/pipeline_efficiency.html).\n\nIf you'd like to learn more about what we're doing to maintain the security, confidentiality, and availability of the GitLab platform, please request our [Customer Assurance Package](https://trust.gitlab.com/).\n\n## Learn more\nAs a comprehensive DevSecOps platform, GitLab supports a broad range of requirements and recommendations.

templates.",[718],"Grant Hickman","https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1774375772/kpaaaiqhokevxxeoxvu0.png","2026-03-25",[9,722,563,23,723],"tutorial","product","Security scanners are essential, but not every finding requires action. Test code, vendored dependencies, generated files, and known false positives create noise that buries the vulnerabilities that actually matter. Security teams waste hours manually dismissing the same irrelevant findings across projects and pipelines. They experience slower triage, alert fatigue, and developer friction that undermines adoption of security scanning itself.\n\nGitLab's auto-dismiss vulnerability policies let you codify your triage decisions once and apply them automatically on every default-branch pipeline. Define criteria based on file path, directory, or vulnerability identifier (CVE, CWE), choose a dismissal reason, and let GitLab handle the rest.\n\n## Why auto-dismiss?\nAuto-dismiss vulnerability policies enable security teams to:\n- **Eliminate triage noise**: Automatically dismiss findings in test code, vendored dependencies, and generated files.\n- **Enforce decisions at scale**: Apply policies centrally to dismiss known false positives across your entire organization.\n- **Maintain audit transparency**: Every auto-dismissed finding includes a documented reason and links back to the policy that triggered it.\n- **Preserve the record**: Unlike scanner exclusions, dismissed vulnerabilities remain in your report, so you can revisit decisions if conditions change.\n\n## How auto-dismiss policies work\n\n1. **Define your policy** in a vulnerability management policy YAML file. Specify match criteria (file path, directory, or identifier) and a dismissal reason.\n\n2. **Merge and activate.** Create the policy via **Secure > Policies > New  policy > Vulnerability management policy**. Merge the MR to enable it.\n3. **Run your pipeline.** On every default-branch pipeline, matching vulnerabilities are automatically set to \"Dismissed\" with the specified reason. Up to 1,000 vulnerabilities are processed per run.\n4. **Measure the impact.** Filter your vulnerability report by status \"Dismissed\" to see exactly what was cleaned up and validate that the right findings are being handled.\n\n## Use cases with ready-to-use configurations\n\nEach example below includes a policy configuration you can copy, customize, and apply immediately.\n\n### 1. Dismiss test code vulnerabilities\n\nSAST and dependency scanners flag hardcoded credentials, insecure fixtures, and dev-only dependencies in test directories. These are not production risks.\n\n```yaml\nvulnerability_management_policy:\n  - name: \"Dismiss test code vulnerabilities\"\n    description: \"Auto-dismiss findings in test directories\"\n    enabled: true\n    rules:\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: file_path\n            value: \"test/**/*\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: file_path\n            value: \"tests/**/*\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: file_path\n            value: \"spec/**/*\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: directory\n            value: \"__tests__/*\"\n    actions:\n      - type: auto_dismiss\n        dismissal_reason: used_in_tests\n\n```\n\n### 2. Dismiss vendored and third-party code\n\nVulnerabilities in `vendor/`, `third_party/`, or checked-in `node_modules` are managed upstream and not actionable for your team.\n\n```yaml\nvulnerability_management_policy:\n  - name: \"Dismiss vendored dependency findings\"\n    description: \"Findings in vendored code are managed upstream\"\n    enabled: true\n    rules:\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: directory\n            value: \"vendor/*\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: directory\n            value: \"third_party/*\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: directory\n            value: \"vendored/*\"\n    actions:\n      - type: auto_dismiss\n        dismissal_reason: not_applicable\n\n```\n\n### 3. Dismiss known false positive CVEs\n\nCertain CVEs are repeatedly flagged but don't apply to your usage context. Teams dismiss these manually every time they appear. Replace the example CVEs below with your own.\n\n```yaml\nvulnerability_management_policy:\n  - name: \"Dismiss known false positive CVEs\"\n    description: \"CVEs confirmed as false positives for our environment\"\n    enabled: true\n    rules:\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: identifier\n            value: \"CVE-2023-44487\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: identifier\n            value: \"CVE-2024-29041\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: identifier\n            value: \"CVE-2023-26136\"\n    actions:\n      - type: auto_dismiss\n        dismissal_reason: false_positive\n\n```\n\n### 4. Dismiss generated and auto-created code\n\nProtobuf, gRPC, OpenAPI generators, and ORM scaffolding tools produce files with flagged patterns that cannot be patched by your team.\n\n```yaml\nvulnerability_management_policy:\n  - name: \"Dismiss generated code findings\"\n    description: \"Generated files are not authored by us\"\n    enabled: true\n    rules:\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: directory\n            value: \"generated/*\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: file_path\n            value: \"**/*.pb.go\"\n      - type: detected\n        criteria:\n          - type: file_path\n            value: \"**/*.generated.*\"\n    actions:\n      - type: auto_dismiss\n        dismissal_reason: not_applicable\n\n```\n\n### 5. Dismiss infrastructure-mitigated vulnerabilities\n\nVulnerability classes like XSS (CWE-79) or SQL injection (CWE-89) that are already addressed by WAF rules or runtime protection.

Together, these features can help reduce the time developers spend investigating false positives and bring automated remediation directly into their workflow, so they can fix vulnerabilities without needing to be security experts.\n\nHere is what’s new:\n\n* [**Static Application Security Testing (SAST) false positive detection**](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/vulnerabilities/false_positive_detection/) **is now generally available.** This flow uses an LLM for agentic reasoning to determine the likelihood that a vulnerability is a false positive or not, so security and development teams can focus on remediating critical vulnerabilities first.  \n* [**Agentic SAST vulnerability resolution**](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/vulnerabilities/agentic_vulnerability_resolution/) **is now in beta.** Agentic SAST vulnerability resolution automatically creates a merge request with a proposed fix for verified SAST vulnerabilities, which can shorten time to remediation and reduce the need for deep security expertise.  \n* [**Secret false positive detection**](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/vulnerabilities/secret_false_positive_detection/) **is now in beta.** This flow brings the same AI-powered noise reduction to secret detection, flagging dummy and test secrets to save review effort.\n\nThese flows are available to GitLab Ultimate customers using GitLab Duo Agent Platform. \n\n## Cut triage time with SAST false positive detection\n\nTraditional SAST scanners flag every suspicious code pattern they find, regardless of whether code paths are reachable or frameworks already handle the risk. Without runtime context, they cannot distinguish a real vulnerability from safe code that just looks dangerous.\n\nThis means developers could spend hours investigating findings that turn out to be false positives. Over time, that can erode confidence in the report and slow down the teams responsible for fixing real risks.\n\nAfter each SAST scan, GitLab Duo Agent Platform automatically analyzes new critical and high severity findings and attaches:\n\n* A confidence score indicating how likely the finding is to be a false positive  \n* An AI-generated explanation describing the reasoning  \n* A visual badge that makes “Likely false positive” versus “Likely real” easy to scan in the UI\n\nThese findings appear in the [Vulnerability Report](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/vulnerability_report/), as shown below. You can filter the report to focus on findings marked as “Not false positive” so teams can spend their time addressing real vulnerabilities instead of sifting through noise.\n\n![Vulnerability report](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1773844787/i0eod01p7gawflllkgsr.png)\n\n\nGitLab Duo Agent Platform's assessment is a recommendation. You stay in control of every false positive to determine if it is valid, and you can audit the agent's reasoning at any time to build confidence in the model. \n\n\n## Turn vulnerabilities into automated fixes\n\nKnowing that a vulnerability is real is only half the work.  Remediation still requires understanding the code path, writing a safe patch, and making sure nothing else breaks.\n\nIf the vulnerability is identified as likely not be a false positive by the SAST false positive detection flow, the Agentic SAST vulnerability resolution flow automatically:\n\n1. Reads the vulnerable code and surrounding context from your repository  \n2. Generates high-quality proposed fixes  \n3. Validates fixes through automated testing   \n4. Opens a merge request with a proposed fix that includes:  \n   * Concrete code changes  \n   * A confidence score  \n   * An explanation of what changed and why\n\nIn this demo, you’ll see how GitLab can automatically take a SAST vulnerability all the way from detection to a ready-to-review merge request. Watch how the agent reads the code, generates and validates a fix, and opens an MR with clear, explainable changes so developers can remediate faster without being security experts.\n\n\u003Ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/1174573325?badge=0&autopause=0&player_id=0&app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"GitLab 18.10 AI SAST False Positive Auto Remediation\">\u003C/iframe>\u003Cscript src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/api/player.js\">\u003C/script>\n\nAs with any AI-generated suggestion, you should review the proposed merge request carefully before merging.\n\n## Surface real secrets\n\nSecret detection is only useful if teams trust the results. When reports are full of test credentials, placeholder values, and example tokens, developers may waste time reviewing noise instead of fixing real exposures. That can slow remediation and decrease confidence in the scan.\n\nSecret false positive detection helps teams focus on the secrets that matter so they can reduce risk faster. When it runs on the default branch, it will automatically:\n\n1. Analyze each finding to spot likely test credentials, example values, and dummy secrets  \n2. Assign a confidence score for whether the finding is a real risk or a likely false positive  \n3. Generate an explanation for why the secret is being treated as real or noise  \n4. Add a badge in the Vulnerability Report so developers can see the status at a glance\n\nDevelopers can also trigger this analysis manually from the Vulnerability Report by selecting **“Check for false positive”** on any secret detection finding, helping them clear out findings that do not pose risk and focus on real secrets sooner.\n\n## Try AI-powered security today\n\nGitLab 18.10 introduces capabilities that cover the full vulnerability workflow, from cutting false positive noise in SAST and secret detection to automatically generating merge requests with proposed fixes.\n\nTo see how AI-powered security can help cut review time and turn findings into ready-to-merge fixes, [start a free trial of GitLab Duo Agent Platform today](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-duo-agent-platform/?utm_medium=blog&utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=eg_global_x_x_security_en_).",[723,9,23],{"featured":12,"template":13,"slug":738},"gitlab-18-10-brings-ai-native-triage-and-remediation",{"content":740,"config":749},{"title":741,"description":742,"authors":743,"tags":745,"heroImage":746,"category":9,"date":747,"body":748},"A complete guide to GitLab Container Scanning","Explore GitLab's various container scanning methods and learn how to secure containers at every lifecycle stage.",[744],"Fernando Diaz",[9,722],"https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772721753/frfsm1qfscwrmsyzj1qn.png","2026-03-05","Container vulnerabilities don't wait for your next deployment. They can emerge at any\npoint, including when you build an image or while containers run in production.\nGitLab addresses this reality with multiple container scanning approaches, each designed\nfor different stages of your container lifecycle.\n\nIn this guide, we'll explore the different types of container scanning GitLab offers,\nhow to enable each one, and common configurations to get you started.\n\n## Why container scanning matters\n\nSecurity vulnerabilities in container images create risk throughout your application\nlifecycle. Base images, OS packages, and application dependencies can all harbor\nvulnerabilities that attackers actively exploit. Container scanning detects these risks\nearly, before they reach production, and provides remediation paths when available.\n\nContainer scanning is a critical component of Software Composition Analysis (SCA),\nhelping you understand and secure the external dependencies your containerized\napplications rely on.\n\n## The five types of GitLab Container Scanning\n\nGitLab offers five distinct container scanning approaches, each serving a specific\npurpose in your security strategy.\n\n\n### 1. Pipeline-based Container Scanning\n\n* What it does: Scans container images during your CI/CD pipeline execution,\ncatching vulnerabilities before deployment\n\n* Best for: Shift-left security, blocking vulnerable images from reaching production \n\n* Tier availability: Free, Premium, and Ultimate (with enhanced features in Ultimate)  \n\n* [Documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/container_scanning/)\n\n\nGitLab uses the Trivy security scanner to analyze container images for\nknown vulnerabilities. When your pipeline runs, the scanner examines your images\nand generates a detailed report.\n\n\n#### How to enable pipeline-based Container Scanning \n\n**Option A: Preconfigured merge request**  \n\n* Navigate to **Secure > Security configuration** in your project.\n* Find the \"Container Scanning\" row.\n* Select **Configure with a merge request**.\n* This automatically creates a merge request with the necessary configuration.  \n\n**Option B: Manual configuration**  \n\n* Add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml`:\n\n```yaml\ninclude:\n  - template: Jobs/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml\n```  \n\n#### Common configurations\n\n**Scan a specific image:**\n\nTo scan a specific image, overwrite the `CS_IMAGE` variable in the `container_scanning` job.\n\n```yaml\ninclude:\n  - template: Jobs/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml\n\ncontainer_scanning:\n  variables:\n    CS_IMAGE: myregistry.com/myapp:latest\n```\n\n**Filter by severity threshold:**\n\nTo only find vulnerabilities with a certain severity criteria, overwrite the\n`CS_SEVERITY_THRESHOLD` variable in the `container_scanning` job. In the example\nbelow, only vulnerabilities with a severity of **High** or greater will be displayed.\n\n\n```yaml\ninclude:\n  - template: Jobs/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml\n\ncontainer_scanning:\n  variables:\n    CS_SEVERITY_THRESHOLD: \"HIGH\"\n```\n\n#### Viewing vulnerabilities in a merge request\n\nViewing Container Scanning vulnerabilities directly within merge requests makes security\nreviews seamless and efficient. Once Container Scanning is configured in your CI/CD\npipeline, GitLab automatically display detected vulnerabilities in the merge request's\n[Security widget](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/project/merge_requests/widgets/#application-security-scanning). \n\n\n![Container Scanning vulnerabilities displayed in MR](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547514/lt6elcq6jexdhqatdy8l.png \"Container Scanning vulnerabilities displayed in MR\")\n\n\n\n* Navigate to any merge request and scroll to the \"Security Scanning\" section to see a summary of\nnewly introduced and existing vulnerabilities found in your container images.\n\n* Click on a **Vulnerability** to access detailed information about the finding, including severity level,\naffected packages, and available remediation guidance.\n\n\n![GitLab Security View details in MR](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547514/hplihdlekc11uvpfih1p.png)\n\n\n\n![GitLab Security View details in MR](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547513/jnxbe7uld8wfeezboifs.png \"Container Scanning vulnerability details in MR\")\n\n\nThis visibility enables developers and security teams to catch and address container\nvulnerabilities before they reach production, making security an integral part of your\ncode review process rather than a separate gate.\n\n\n#### Viewing vulnerabilities in Vulnerability Report\n\nBeyond merge request reviews, GitLab provides a centralized\n[Vulnerability Report](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/vulnerability_report/) that gives security teams comprehensive visibility across all Container Scanning findings in your project.\n\n\n![Vulnerability Report sorted by Container Scanning](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547524/gagau279fzfgjpnvipm5.png \"Vulnerability Report sorted by Container Scanning\")\n\n\n* Access this report by navigating to **Security & Compliance > Vulnerability Report** in your\nproject sidebar.\n\n* Here you'll find an aggregated view of all container vulnerabilities detected across your branches, with powerful filtering options to sort by severity, status, scanner type, or specific container images.\n\n* You can click on a vulnerabilty to access its Vulnerablity page.\n\n\n![Vulnerability page - 1st view](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547520/e1woxupyoajhrpzrlylj.png)\n\n\n![Vulnerability page - 2nd view](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547521/idzcftcgjc8eryixnbjn.png)\n\n\n![Vulnerability page - 3rd view](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547522/mbbwbbprtf9anqqola10.png \"Vunerability Details for a Container Scanning vulnerability\")\n\n\n[Vulnerability Details](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/vulnerabilities/)\nshows exactly which container images and layers are impacted, making it easier to trace the\nvulnerability back to its source. You can assign vulnerabilities to team members, change\ntheir status (detected, confirmed, resolved, dismissed), add comments for collaboration,\nand link related issues for tracking remediation work.\n\nThis workflow transforms vulnerability management from a spreadsheet exercise into an integrated part of your development process, ensuring that container security findings are tracked, prioritized, and resolved systematically.\n\n#### View the Dependency List\n\nGitLab's [Dependency List](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/dependency_list/)\nprovides a comprehensive software bill of materials (SBOM) that catalogs every component within\nyour container images, giving you complete transparency into your software supply chain.\n\n* Navigate to **Security & Compliance > Dependency List** to access an inventory of all packages,\nlibraries, and dependencies detected by Container Scanning across your project.\n\n* This view is invaluable for understanding what's actually running inside your containers, from base OS\npackages to application-level dependencies.\n\n\n![GitLab Dependency List](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547513/vjg6dk3nhajqamplroji.png \"GitLab Dependency List (SBOM)\")\n\n\nYou can filter the list by package manager, license type, or vulnerability status to quickly\nidentify which components pose security risks or compliance concerns. Each dependency entry\nshows associated vulnerabilities, allowing you to understand security issues in the context\nof your actual software components rather than as isolated findings.\n\n\n### 2. Container Scanning for Registry\n\n* What it does: Automatically scans images pushed to your GitLab Container Registry\nwith the `latest` tag\n\n* Best for: Continuous monitoring of registry images without manual pipeline triggers  \n\n* Tier availability: Ultimate only \n\n* [Documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/container_scanning/#container-scanning-for-registry) \n\n\nWhen you push a container image tagged `latest`, GitLab's security policy bot\nautomatically triggers a scan against the default branch. Unlike pipeline-based\nscanning, this approach works with Continuous Vulnerability Scanning to monitor\nfor newly published advisories.\n\n#### How to enable Container Scanning for Registry\n\n1. Navigate to **Secure > Security configuration**.\n2. Scroll to the **Container Scanning For Registry** section.\n3. Toggle the feature on.\n\n![Container Scanning for Registry](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547512/vntrlhtmsh1ecnwni5ji.png \"Toggle for Container Scanning for Registry\")\n\n#### Prerequisites\n\n- Maintainer role or higher in the project\n- Project must not be empty (requires at least one commit on the default branch)\n- Container Registry notifications must be configured\n- Package Metadata Database must be configured (enabled by default on GitLab.com)\n\nVulnerabilities appear under the **Container Registry vulnerabilities** tab in your\nVulnerability Report.\n\n\n### 3. Multi-Container Scanning\n\n* What it does: Scans multiple container images in parallel within a single pipeline \n* Best for: Microservices architectures and projects with multiple container images  \n* Tier availability: Free, Premium, and Ultimate (currently in Beta)  \n* [Documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/container_scanning/multi_container_scanning/) \n\nMulti-Container Scanning uses dynamic child pipelines to run scans concurrently, significantly reducing overall pipeline execution time when you need to scan multiple images.\n\n#### How to enable Multi-Container scanning\n\n1. Create a `.gitlab-multi-image.yml` file in your repository root:\n\n```yaml\nscanTargets:\n  - name: alpine\n    tag: \"3.19\"\n  - name: python\n    tag: \"3.9-slim\"\n  - name: nginx\n    tag: \"1.25\"\n```\n\n2. Include the template in your `.gitlab-ci.yml`:\n\n```yaml\ninclude:\n  - template: Jobs/Multi-Container-Scanning.latest.gitlab-ci.yml\n```\n\n#### Advanced configuration\n\n**Scan images from private registries:**\n\n```yaml\nauths:\n  registry.gitlab.com:\n    username: ${CI_REGISTRY_USER}\n    password: ${CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD}\n\nscanTargets:\n  - name: registry.gitlab.com/private/image\n    tag: latest\n```\n\n**Include license information:**\n\n```yaml\nincludeLicenses: true\n\nscanTargets:\n  - name: postgres\n    tag: \"15-alpine\"\n```\n\n\n### 4. Continuous Vulnerability Scanning\n\n* What it does: Automatically creates vulnerabilities when new security advisories are published, no pipeline required \n\n* Best for: Proactive security monitoring between deployments\n\n* Tier availability: Ultimate only\n\n* [Documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/continuous_vulnerability_scanning/)  \n\nTraditional scanning only catches vulnerabilities at scan time. But what happens\nwhen a new CVE is published tomorrow for a package you scanned yesterday? Continuous\nVulnerability Scanning solves this by monitoring the GitLab Advisory Database and\nautomatically creating vulnerability records when new advisories affect your components.\n\n\n#### How it works\n\n1. Your Container Scanning or Dependency Scanning job generates a CycloneDX SBOM.\n\n2. GitLab registers your project's components from this SBOM.\n\n3. When new advisories are published, GitLab checks if your components are affected.\n\n4. Vulnerabilities are automatically created in your vulnerability report.\n\n\n#### Key considerations\n\n- Scans run via background jobs (Sidekiq), not CI pipelines.\n\n- Only advisories published within the last 14 days are considered for new component detection.\n\n- Vulnerabilities use \"GitLab SBoM Vulnerability Scanner\" as the scanner name.\n\n- To mark vulnerabilities as resolved, you still need to run a pipeline-based scan.\n\n\n### 5. Operational Container Scanning\n\n* What it does: Scans running containers in your Kubernetes cluster on a\nscheduled cadence\n\n* Best for: Post-deployment security monitoring and runtime vulnerability detection  \n\n* Tier availability: Ultimate only\n\n* [Documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/clusters/agent/vulnerabilities/)\n\n\nOperational Container Scanning bridges the gap between build-time security and\nruntime security. Using the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes, it scans containers\nactually running in your clusters—catching vulnerabilities that emerge after\ndeployment.\n\n#### How to enable Operational Container Scanning\n\nIf you are using the [GitLab Kubernetes Agent](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/clusters/agent/install/), you can add the following to your agent configuration file:\n\n```yaml\ncontainer_scanning:\n  cadence: '0 0 * * *'  # Daily at midnight\n  vulnerability_report:\n    namespaces:\n      include:\n        - production\n        - staging\n```\n\n\nYou can also create a [scan execution policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/clusters/agent/vulnerabilities/#enable-via-scan-execution-policies) that enforces scanning on a schedule by the GitLab Kubernetes Agent.\n\n\n![Scan execution policy - Operational Container Scanning](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547515/gsgvjcq4sas4dfc8ciqk.png \"Scan execution policy conditions for Operational Container Scanning\")\n\n#### Viewing results\n\n* Navigate to **Operate > Kubernetes clusters**.\n\n* Select the **Agent** tab, and choose your agent.\n\n* Then select the **Security** tab to view cluster vulnerabilities.\n\n* Results also appear under the **Operational Vulnerabilities** tab in the **Vulnerability Report**.\n\n\n## Enhancing posture with GitLab Security Policies\n\nGitLab Security Policies enable you to enforce consistent security standards across your container workflows through automated, policy-driven controls. These policies shift security left by embedding requirements directly into your development pipeline, ensuring vulnerabilities are caught and addressed before code reaches production.\n\n#### Scan execution and pipeline policies\n\n[Scan execution policies](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/policies/scan_execution_policies/) automate when and how Container Scanning runs across your projects. Define policies that trigger container scans on every merge request, schedule recurring scans of your main branch, and more. These policies ensure comprehensive coverage without relying on developers to manually configure scanning in each project's CI/CD pipeline.\n\nYou can specify which scanner versions to use and configure scanning parameters centrally, maintaining consistency across your organization while adapting to new container security threats.\n\n![Scan execution policy configuration](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547517/z36dntxslqem9udrynvx.png \"Scan execution policy configuration\")\n\n\n[Pipeline execution policies](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/policies/pipeline_execution_policies/) provide flexible controls for injecting (or overriding) custom jobs into a pipeline based on your compliance needs.\n\nUse these policies to automatically inject Container Scanning jobs into your pipeline, fail builds when container vulnerabilities exceed your risk tolerance, trigger additional security checks for specific branches or tags, or enforce compliance requirements for container images destined for production environments. Pipeline execution policies act as automated guardrails, ensuring your security standards are consistently applied across all container deployments without manual intervention.\n\n![Pipeline execution policy](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547517/ddhhugzcr2swptgodof2.png \"Pipeline execution policy actions\")\n\n#### Merge request approval policies\n\n[Merge request approval policies](https://docs.gitlab.com/user/application_security/policies/merge_request_approval_policies/) enforce security gates by requiring designated approvers to review and sign off on merge requests containing container vulnerabilities.\n\nConfigure policies that block merge when critical or high-severity vulnerabilities are detected, or require security team approval for any merge request introducing new container findings. These policies prevent vulnerable container images from advancing through your pipeline while maintaining development velocity for low-risk changes.\n\n![Merge request approval policy performing block in MR](https://res.cloudinary.com/about-gitlab-com/image/upload/v1772547513/hgnbc1vl4ssqafqcyuzg.png \"Merge request approval policy performing block in MR\")\n\n\n## Choosing the right approach\n\n| Scanning Type | When to Use | Key Benefit |\n|--------------|-------------|-------------|\n| Pipeline-based | Every build | Shift-left security, blocks vulnerable builds |\n| Registry scanning | Continuous monitoring | Catches new CVEs in stored images |\n| Multi-container | Microservices | Parallel scanning, faster pipelines |\n| Continuous vulnerability | Between deployments | Proactive advisory monitoring |\n| Operational | Production monitoring | Runtime vulnerability detection |\n\n\n\nFor comprehensive security, consider combining multiple approaches. Use\npipeline-based scanning to catch issues during development, container\nscanning for registry for continuous monitoring, and operational scanning\nfor production visibility.\n\n## Get started today\n\nThe fastest path to container security is enabling pipeline-based scanning:\n\n1.
