However, testing earlier and more often in the SDLC comes with its own set of challenges: an abundance of alerts from automated security tools and a high computational cost caused by frequent and long-running CI security jobs.\n\nIn this blog post, I’ll walk you through how we configured DAST for the internal pipeline that tests the GitLab web application. We’ll discuss some of the common challenges that you might encounter when testing large applications, such as:\n\n1. How to keep the duration of the DAST scan within an acceptable [job timeout](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/settings.html#timeout): This matters because jobs that exceed timeouts will fail and no results will be displayed. We will review how to optimize scan duration by excluding low-risk parts of the application from being tested, by correctly seeding your application with test data, and by parallelizing the DAST job.\n\n2. How to get relevant results for your context: This is key – tuning job configurations to produce relevant results allows your engineers to focus on findings that matter and prevents [alert fatigue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alarm_fatigue). In this area, we'll discuss criteria for identifing rules that are applicable to your application and we will explain how to disable irrelevant rules.\n\nThe discussed solutions are based on the DAST configuration that we use to test GitLab itself. If you are looking for inspiration on how to configure your own DAST jobs, feel free to take a look at our [configuration](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/8b1557c02fe5519ba952ea59c93b84912dd357b4/.gitlab/ci/dast.gitlab-ci.yml).\n\n## How to set up a simple DAST full scan\n\nKicking off a DAST full scan in GitLab CI is as easy as including the job template and setting a few variables in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:\n\n```yaml\ninclude:\n  - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml\n\nvariables:\n  DAST_WEBSITE: \"https://my-site.example\"\n  DAST_FULL_SCAN_ENABLED: \"true\"\n  DAST_AUTH_URL: \"https://my-site.example/signin\"\n  DAST_AUTH_USERNAME: “john”\n  DAST_AUTH_PASSWORD: “P@ssw0rd”\n\n```\nThe variable `DAST_WEBSITE` defines the target website tested by DAST. Setting `DAST_FULL_SCAN_ENABLED: true` instructs DAST to run a [full scan](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/docker/full-scan/), which is more comprehensive than a [baseline scan](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/docker/baseline-scan/) and potentially finds more vulnerabilities. There are also other config options that you likely want to define such as authentication-related options (`DAST_AUTH_*`) which are not discussed here. You can check out our DAST [user docs](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dast/#available-variables) for a refresher on these config options.\n\nWhen running a DAST full scan against a web application with many pages and input parameters, it is possible that the DAST job will not finish testing the application within the CI job timeout and fail. If this is the case for your DAST job, keep reading to learn about tweaking your job configuration to stay within the timeout.\n\n## How to optimize DAST scan duration\n\nIt is not uncommon that a DAST full scan can take 10 or more hours to complete testing in complex applications. To understand how we can reduce the scan duration, we need to take a closer look at how DAST works internally.\n\nDAST job execution is roughly separated into two phases: A spidering phase and a test execution phase. A DAST job starts with spidering, during which it will detect all pages a web application consists of and identify the input parameters on these pages. The spider recursively discovers all pages of an application by visiting the configured target URL (parameter `DAST_WEBSITE`) and by following all URLs found in the page source. These URLs are in turn also searched for URLs in their page source, any new URLs are followed and so on. In a DAST full scan, this procedure is typically repeated until all discovered URLs have been visited.\n\nIn the test execution phase, test rules are executed against the target application to find vulnerabilities. Most of the rules are executed for any of the discovered pages in the spidering phase, leading to a direct relation between the number of executed test cases and the number of discovered pages.\n\nSome rules check for specific CVEs such as [Heartbleed](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/20015/) while others are only applicable to applications written in specific languages such as [Java](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/90002/), [ASP.net](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/10061/), and so on. A DAST full scan will, by default, execute all rules even if the target application’s tech stack is not affected by the vulnerability being tested for.\n\nTo summarize, you can use the following rule of thumb to estimate a DAST job’s scan duration: Number of Tested Pages **x** Number of Executed Rules.\n\nTo optimize scan duration, we will have to tweak these factors.\n\n### How to reduce the number of tested pages\n\nTo understand which pages of our application are tested we can refer to the job log. The URLs of all tested pages are listed like in the example below.\n\n```text\n2020-08-01 00:25:34,454 The following 2903 URLs were scanned:\nGET https://gitlab-review.app\nGET https://gitlab-review.app/*/*.git\nGET https://gitlab-review.app/help\nGET https://gitlab.com/help/user/index.md\n...\n```\n\nBased on this information we can exclude low-risk pages from being tested. For example, for the GitLab web app we decided to [exclude](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/8b1557c02fe5519ba952ea59c93b84912dd357b4/.gitlab/ci/dast.gitlab-ci.yml#L30) any of the [help pages](https://gitlab.com/help). These pages are mostly static and the application code doesn’t process any user-controlled inputs, which rules out attack categories like SQL injection, XSS etc. Excluding these led to 899 URLs less being spidered and tested, reducing the scan duration significantly.\n\nTo exclude low-risk pages from being tested, you can use the environment variable [DAST_AUTH_EXCLUDE_URLS](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/dast/#available-variables) as mapped out below:\n\n```yaml\nscript:\n  - 'export DAST_AUTH_EXCLUDE_URLS=\"https://gitlab-review.app/help/.*,https://gitlab-review.app/profile/two_factor_auth\"'\n\n```\n\n`DAST_AUTH_EXCLUDE_URLS` takes a comma-separated list of URLs to exclude. URLs can contain regular expressions, e.g. `https://gitlab-review.app/help/.*` will exclude any URL that starts with `https://gitlab-review.app/help/`.\n\n### How to populate your app with test data\n\nPopulating your application with test data is important because it allows DAST to discover and test all the functionality of your application. At the same time, you want to avoid adding redundant test data to your application, which would lead to DAST exercising the same code repeatedly.\n\nFor example, we can create multiple [projects](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/) in a GitLab instance and each project will be accessible via a unique URL, e.g. `https://gitlab.example/awesome-project`, `https://gitlab.example/another-project`, etc. To DAST these look like unrelated pages and it will test each page separately. However, the application code that is processing requests to different projects is largely identical, leading to the same code being tested multiple times. This increases the scan duration and is unlikely to identify more vulnerabilities than testing only a single project would.\n\nIn every pipeline that runs DAST against GitLab, we spin up a fresh GitLab instance as a [review app](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/review_apps/) and populate it with the test data that we need for the DAST job. If you are looking for a similar solution, you might find the job that is [deploying the review app](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/8b1557c02fe5519ba952ea59c93b84912dd357b4/.gitlab/ci/review.gitlab-ci.yml#L53-83) and seeding it with [test data](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/8b1557c02fe5519ba952ea59c93b84912dd357b4/.gitlab/ci/review.gitlab-ci.yml#L83) interesting.\n\n### Identifying relevant rules for your DAST scan\n\nAs mentioned above, a DAST full scan runs, by default, all rules against any discovered page. Therefore, another way to reduce scan duration is to disable irrelevant rules or rules that you have determined are low-risk for your application context. To determine rule relevance, consider the following:\n\n- Does the rule apply to my web framework?\n- Does the rule apply to my web server?\n- Does the rule apply to my database server?\n- Does the type of vulnerability a rule tests for apply to my application?\n\nFor example, if your application is not built with Java, rules that test for [Java-specific vulnerabilities](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/90002/) can be disabled. There are many rules that are specific to a web framework, server, or database being used like [Apache HTTP Server](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/10053/), [ASP.NET](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/10061/), [PostgreSQL](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/40022/) etc. If in doubt around which rule(s) are applicable to which tech stack, you can find the information either in the [ZAP user docs](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/) or directly in the [rule implementation](https://github.com/zaproxy/zap-extensions/blob/master/addOns/ascanrules/src/main/java/org/zaproxy/zap/extension/ascanrules/CodeInjectionScanRule.java#L86-L91):\n\n```java\npublic boolean targets(TechSet technologies) {\n    if (technologies.includes(Tech.ASP) || technologies.includes(Tech.PHP)) {\n        return true;\n    }\n    return false;\n}\n```\nNote: Most rules classes have a function `targets` that defines to which technologies a rule is applicable.\n\nAnother example of a rule that might not apply to your application is the [PII Disclosure](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/10062/) rule if your application does not process any PII.\n\n### Excluding irrelevant rules\n\nThe execution time of individual rules varies substantially. To understand how much time a particular rule adds to the total scan duration and how much we could gain from disabling it, we turn again to the job log. Each rule prints its duration on completion, for example:\n\n```text\n[zap.out] 3937350 [Thread-8] INFO org.parosproxy.paros.core.scanner.HostProcess - completed host/plugin https://gitlab-review.app | TestExternalRedirect in 2813.043s with 33151 message(s) sent and 0 alert\n```\n\nFrom this message we learn that rule `TestExternalRedirect` took 47 minutes to complete, hence disabling this rule reduces the scan duration by about 47 minutes.\n\nWe can disable individual rules with the environment variable `DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES`. Here is an example:\n\n```yaml\nvariables:\n  DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES=”41,42,43,10027,...,90019”\n\n```\n\n`DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` takes a comma-separated list of rule ids. You can find the id of a particular rule in the summary printed to the job log:\n\n```text\nPASS: External Redirect [20019]\n…\nSUMMARY - PASS: 106 | WARN: 2\n```\n\nWe can see from the log that rule External Redirect, which we found earlier to take 47 minutes, has rule id 20019. To disable this rule in addition to the rules from the previous example, we would need to add it to `DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` like so:\n\n```yaml\nvariables:\n  DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES=”20019,41,42,43,10027,...,90019”\n\n```\n### Parallelizing DAST jobs to further reduce pipeline duration\n\nTo reduce the total duration of the pipeline that is running the DAST job, we can split up the rules that we want to execute into multiple DAST jobs and run the jobs in parallel. Below is an example that demonstrates how to split up the rules.\n\n```yaml\n# Any configuration that is shared between jobs goes here\n.dast-conf:\n  image:\n    name: \"registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast:1.22.1\"\n  services:\n  - name: \"gitlab/gitlab-ee:nightly\"\n    alias: gitlab\n  script:\n  - /analyze -t \"http://gitlab\"\n\n# First DAST job executing rules 6 to 10\ndast-1/2:\n  extends:\n  - .dast-conf\n  variables:\n    DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES: \"1,2,3,4,5\"\n\n# Second DAST job executing rules 1 to 5\ndast-2/2:\n  extends:\n  - .dast-conf\n  variables:\n    DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES: \"5,6,7,8,9\"\n\n```\n\nFor the sake of brevity, we assume in the example above that our DAST job runs rules with id 1 to 10. As described in the previous section, refer to the job log to find which rules were executed (we are working on printing a tidy [summary of executed rules](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/230893)). The example defines two DAST jobs `dast-1/2` and `dast-2/2`. `dast-1/2` is excluding rules 1 to 5 and, hence, executes rules 6 to 10. Vice versa, `dast-2/2` is excluding rules 6 to 10 and, hence, executes rules 1 to 5.\n\nFollowing the same pattern, you can split up the rules into as many jobs as necessary, keeping the rules executed in a job mutually exclusive with respect to all other jobs.\n\nNote that new releases of GitLab DAST may contain new rules, which will get executed if the rule ids are not manually added to `DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES`. In the example above, we pinned the version of the DAST image to a specific version using the `image` keyword. This allows us to review new releases manually and adjust `DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` as necessary before upgrading to a new DAST version.\n\nWhen running multiple DAST jobs in parallel against the same target application, make sure that the application isn’t overloaded and becomes a bottleneck. If you observe connection timeouts in the DAST job logs, chances are your target site is overloaded. To mitigate this issue, consider spinning up additional instances of your target application and distribute the test load among the instances. GitLab CI offers, through the [`services`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_images.html#what-is-a-service) keyword, a convenient way of creating a dedicated application instance for each DAST job. In the example above, we start a dedicated GitLab instance for each DAST job with:\n\n```yaml\n\n  services:\n  - name: \"gitlab/gitlab-ee:nightly\"\n    alias: gitlab\n\n```\n## Summary\n\nIn this blog post, we walked you through common challenges encountered when testing complex web applications with DAST and solutions that worked well for our internal projects at GitLab.\n\nAs we continue and broaden our use of DAST full scans within GitLab and our Security department, we’re excited to identify vulnerabilities in GitLab earlier in the SDLC and look forward to sharing interesting findings with the community. In addition, we take our lessons learned from setting up DAST full scans back to our engineering team to continue improving user experience. We also plan to explore additional dynamic testing techniques such as [fuzzing](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/coverage_fuzzing/) to complement our DAST results.\n\nIs there a problem area that you’ve encountered or solution for fine-tuning DAST full scans we've missed that's worked well for you? We want to hear about it and would love your feedback below in the comments.\n\nCover image by [Pixabay](https://www.pexels.com/@pixabay) on

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&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;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_).",[726,9,725],{"featured":12,"template":13,"slug":741},"gitlab-18-10-brings-ai-native-triage-and-remediation",{"content":743,"config":752},{"title":744,"description":745,"authors":746,"tags":748,"heroImage":749,"category":9,"date":750,"body":751},"A complete guide to GitLab Container Scanning","Explore GitLab's various container scanning methods and learn how to secure containers at every lifecycle stage.",[747],"Fernando Diaz",[9,724],"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.
