MergeBase Code Green
(Vulnerability Scans)

Introduction

Bit-Booster has teamed up with cyber security startup MergeBase to develop an innovative application security collaboration. The goal: defend software teams from the OWASP Top-10 risk: Software libraries with known vulnerabilities. The Control Freak plugin now performs free vulnerability scans (based on MergeBase's Code Green technology) against every git push.

Understanding Free Scans

Scans are only performed if the repository contains at least one file that matches any of the following naming patterns:
 
      **/gemfile.lock, **/package-lock.json, **/yarn.lock, **/pom.xml, **/*.pom

If a scan is performed, results are printed in response to successful "git push" operations. Results fall into two general cases:

  1. Vulnerabilities Found -
    remote: --------------------
    remote: Control-Freak / MergeBase free vulnerability scan results:
    remote:   Pushed commit (f4433f706d6da33) has at least 50 known vulnerabilities:
    remote:   15 critical, 20 high, 15 medium, 0 low.
