Import Veracode Static Analysis Pipeline Scan to GitHub Issues - GitHub Action

WARNING

WARNING

This Action has been deprecated. Please switch to Veracode flaws to Issues

WARNING

WARNING

This action can be used in a workflow after a Veracode Static Analysis Pipeline Scan to take the results of the scan and import them into GitHub as Issues.

Typically this is done with the filtered results of the Pipeline Scan, see Pipeline Scan commands .

Note that when Issues are added, a tag is inserted into the Issue title. The tag is of the form [VID:<cwe>:<file>:<line>]. This tag is used to prevent duplicate issues from getting created. There is some very simple matching of same file, same CWE, +/- 10 lines that will get resolved as the same issue.

---

Inputs

pipeline-results-json

Required The path to the pipeline results file in JSON format (typically the filtered results).

Default value	"filtered_results.json"

github-token

Required GitHub token needed to access the repo. Normally, when run in a Workflow, use the {{ secrets.GITHUB-TOKEN }} that is created by GitHub. See here for further information.

wait-time

Optional GitHub (at least the free/public version) has a rate limiter to prevent a user from adding Issues too quickly. This value is used to insert a small delay between each new issue created so as to not trip the rate limiter. This value sets the number of seconds between each issue. See here for additional information.

Default value	"2"
