The Fortify WebInspect Enterprise plugin allows you to execute dynamic application security testing as part of a Deployment Automation workflow.
This plugin is a work in progress but it is intended to provide the following steps:
- Create Scan from URL - Create a new simple scan from a URL
- Create Scan from Template - Create a new simple scan from a template
- Create Scan from Settings File - Create a new simple scan from an uploaded settings file
- Get Scan Status - Gets the status of a previously initiated scan
- Create Scan Report - Create a HTML report of a previously initiated scan
- Export Scan to File - Export a scan to file as FPR, Scan or XML format
Note: this plugin is designed to be used when WebInspect Enterprise has been integrated with Software Security Center.
Download the latest version from the release directory and install into Deployment Automation from the Administration\Automation\Plugins page.
The plugin provides three ways/steps to execute a scan. For each you can provide the name of the Application, Application Version and Security Policy to use. The plugin will attempt to validate each of these. For the Create Scan from URL step you simply need to provide the URL of the running application to scan. For the Create Scan from Template step you need to have created a Scan Template in the WebInspect Enterprise Web Console and know its Id (this will be present in the browsers URL field when you navigate to it). For the Create Scan from Settings File step you need to have downloaded an XML Scan Settings file and (preferably) stored it as a file in a Component Version in Deployment Automation.
It is recommended that a specific Software Security Center (e.g. da_service) user is created for executing the integration. This user will need to be assigned to a Role in the WebInspect Enterprise Console that allows Scans to be executed via the REST API.
You will also need to create three Deployment Automation
System Properties
called wie.serverUrl that refers to your WebInspect Enterprise URL (e.g. "https://server-name/WIE") and also
wie.username and wie.password that refers to the credentials of the user that is going to run the scan..
To build the plugin you will need to clone the following repositories (at the same level as this repository):
and then compile using the following command
mvn clean package
This will create a .zip file in the target directory when you can then install into Deployment Automation
from the Administration\Automation\Plugins page.
