Source code repositories

Integration of repositories to navigate to the locaction of findings in the source code.

Findings can have a filepath and a line number as the location of the vulnerability. This is typically set when scanning an application with a Static Application Security Test (SAST) tool. If the repository of the source code is specified in the Engagement, DefectDojo will present the filepath as a link and the user can navigate directly to the location of the vulnerability.

Setting the repository in the Engagement

While editing the Engagement, users can set the URL of the repo. It needs to be the URL including the branch, e.g. https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/tree/dev (GitHub) or https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/tree/master (GitLab).

Edit Engagement

When viewing a finding, the location will be presented as a link, if the repository of the source code has been set in the Engagement:
