Tool Configuration

When accessing Veracode via a Tool Connector, it is possible to load "Callstack" information for each Veracode Flaw. (Veracode Callstack information is interpreted as Software Risk Manager Data Flow information for the corresponding results.) Doing so will improve the decision-making process of agentless hybrid correlation, but this comes at a steep performance cost (roughly 1-2 seconds per flaw).

• veracode.callstack-load-enabled enables loading of the optional "Callstack" information when set to true. Defaults to false.

NowSecure uses lab-api as the default subdomain for the lab api and app as the default subdomain for the user interface. Software Risk Manager allows user-defined values for these subdomains in the props file.

• nowsecure.lab-api-subdomain defines the subdomain for the lab api. Defaults to lab-api.
• nowsecure.lab-ui-subdomain defines the subdomain for the lab user interface. Defaults to app.

When automatically importing projects with parent mapping from Black Duck, Software Risk Manager omits the top-level Black Duck project group.

• blackduck.project-enumeration.include-top-level-group enables including the top-level Black Duck project group in SRM parent project mapping when set to true. Defaults to false.

By default, the Clang-Tidy reader parses a certain portion of the input file for format detection. The relevant properties can be changed according to preferences in the props file:

• clang-tidy.format-detection.max-line-length sets the maximum number of characters to read per line of the input file. Defaults to 8192 characters.
• clang-tidy.format-detection.num-lines sets the number of lines to read from the input file. Defaults to 1500 lines.
• clang-tidy.format-detection.patience sets the number of lines to scan before running into a relevant line for format detection. Defaults to 15 lines.

Clippy is a tool for linting Rust code, typically through the Cargo package manager. Software Risk Manager can run Clippy on Rust code, if available.

When Software Risk Manager is properly configured to use Clippy, it will be offered as a bundled tool when analyzing a ZIP containing at least one Cargo.toml file. During analysis, Clippy will be invoked for each Cargo.toml file discovered in the ZIP.

In order for Software Risk Manager to run Clippy:

• The standard Rustup installer must be used and installed in a manner accessible to Software Risk Manager.
• Clippy must be installed as a Cargo component. Clippy is typically installed as part of Rustup installation, but it can also be installed manually, if needed.
• Software Risk Manager must be able to discover the installation paths.
• Any additional dependencies needed for building your Rust projects must be pre-installed on the Software Risk Manager machine.

The procedure varies by platform as described in the sections below.

cargo.path = C:/Users/<username>/.cargo
rustup.path = C:/Users/<username>/.rustup

By default, a finding’s severity in Software Risk Manager is based on the Coverity issue's severity. "Dismissed" and "Absent Dismissed" issues are also excluded by default from the findings. The relevant properties can be changed according to preferences in the props file:

• coverity.finding-severity-from-cvss-score determines whether to use the CVSS Score to configure the finding severity. Defaults to false.
• coverity.include-dismissed-issues determines whether to include Coverity issues with "Dismissed" status in the list of findings. Defaults to false.
• coverity.include-absent-dismissed-issues determines whether to include Coverity issues with "Absent Dismissed" status in the list of findings. Defaults to false.

When automatically importing Coverity projects and versions from the integrations page, SRM will attempt to parse the branch name from the stream name. Coverity stream names must be globally unique, and so a common pattern is to use the project name, followed by a separator and the branch name. For example, a project WebGoat with branch main might have a stream named WebGoat-main. By default, SRM will attempt to determine the branch from the stream name by checking for the project name, followed by a separator of either -, _, or a space. Additional stream name parsing behavior can be defined with the following props setting:

• coverity.stream-name-regexes.# defines additional regular expressions to be used for Coverity stream name parsing. # must be replaced with 0 for the first regex pattern to be defined. If additional regex patterns are required, each additional one must increment # by one.

The first regular expression to match the stream name in ascending order of their indexes will be used to determine the branch name. The branch name will be extracted from the first capture group of the matching regex. If other groups are required, they must be defined as non-capturing groups. Additionally, if the stream name format includes the project name, {{projectName}} may be used in place of the project name. When evaluating the regular expressions, SRM will replace any instances of {{projectName}} with each project name's literal.

For example, consider a project WebGoat with streams WebGoat - main and Webgoat (develop), where main and develop are the respective branches. The first stream's format may be defined with the regex {{projectName}} - (.+). The second stream's format may be defined with the regex {{projectName}} \((.+)\). Both regexes may be defined in the props file by assigning one to the property coverity.stream-name-regexes.0, and the other to coverity.stream-name-regexes.1.

When ingesting Dynatrace data into Software Risk Manager using the tool connector, it limits the number of entities and related attacks that are included in each result, since these lists can get overwhelmingly large. By default, the tool connector also specifies a port for ActiveGate environments, and a page size for the number of vulnerabilities or attack results to include per page. The relevant properties can be changed according to preferences in the props file:

• dynatrace.active-gate-environment.port sets the default port number to use for ActiveGate type Dynatrace environments. Defaults to 9999.
• dynatrace.vulnerabilities.page-size sets the number of vulnerability results to include per page. Should be between 1 and 500. Defaults to 100.
• dynatrace.max-num-entities sets the maximum number of entities that are included in vulnerability results. Defaults to 10.
• dynatrace.max-num-attacks sets the maximum number of related attacks that are included in vulnerability results. Defaults to 10.
• dynatrace.attacks.page-size sets the number of attack results to include per page. Should be between 1 and 500. Defaults to 100.

Software Risk Manager supports user-defined config.xml scalastyle config files. Place the file within the tool-data/scalastyle directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Files should follow the format defined by scalastyle.

Software Risk Manager also supports a user-defined scalastyle.props config file for configuring the JVM environment in which the scalastyle tool runs. Currently, the only supported property is file.encoding, which will be passed to the JVM via the -Dfile.encoding environment variable. This allows you to run scalastyle on projects that don't use the standard encoding.

Software Risk Manager supports user-defined config.xml Checkstyle configuration files. Place the file within the tool-data/checkstyle directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Files should follow the format defined by Checkstyle.

Software Risk Manager supports a user-defined cppcheck.conf config file. Create the file in the tool-data/cppcheck directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Within that file, you can define a value for the useThreads property (e.g., useThreads=4 to request that Cppcheck use four threads). Also, Cppcheck will run with the --inline-suppr option enabled by default, allowing you to suppress errors from within your source code. This behavior can be disabled by setting inlineSuppression=false. See the Cppcheck Manual for more details on these settings.

You can also choose to define the platform property. This affects Cppcheck's configuration for platform-specific types and sizes. By default, Cppcheck will choose the platform your Software Risk Manager server is running on. Available platform options are as follows:

• unix32 32 bit Unix variant
• unix64 64 bit Unix variant
• win32A 32 bit Windows ASCII character encoding
• win32W 32 bit Windows UNICODE character encoding
• win64 64 bit Windows
• avr8 8 bit AVR microcontrollers
• native Type sizes of host system are assumed, but no further assumptions
• unspecified Unknown type sizes

You can also use the libraries property to specify a list of library configurations for Cppcheck to use. For example, setting libraries = [gtk, posix, qt] will enable Cppcheck's library configurations for gtk, posix, and qt. The available configurations are avr, bento4, boost, bsd, cairo, cppcheck-lib, cppunit, daca, dpdk, embedded_sql, emscripten, ginac, gnu, googletest, gtk, icu, kde, libcerror, libcurl, libsigc++, lua, mfc, microsoft_atl, microsoft_sal, microsoft_unittest, motif, nspr, ntl, opencv2, opengl, openmp, openssl, pcre, posix, python, qt, ruby, sdl, sfml, sqlite3, tinyxml2, vcl, windows, wxsqlite3, wxsvg, wxwidgets, and zlib.

Software Risk Manager supports a user-defined jshint.conf config file. Create the file in the tool-data/jshint directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Within that file, you can define a value for the scan-html property, which tells JSHint to additionally scan .htm and .html files. This property is enabled by default (i.e., scan-html=true).

You can also define a value for the extract property, which sets the value for the --extract flag from JSHint. This flag controls how JSHint extracts HTML from files. Available extract options are as follows:

• auto JSHint will attempt to extract javascript only if the file looks like it is an HTML file. This is the default value (i.e., extract=auto).
• always JSHint will always attempt to extract javascript. Note that if this value is set, JSHint will scan all files as HTML. This means that javascript source files will not be scanned normally. Instead, JSHint will search them for HTML to extract and anything else in the file will be ignored.
• never JSHint will never attempt to extract javascript. Note that if this value is set, JSHint will not be able to scan HTML. scan-html must be set to false, otherwise JSHint will try to scan HTML files as javascript source and will report an error for each one.

Software Risk Manager supports user-defined config.xml PHPMD ruleset files. Place the file within the tool-data/phpmd directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Files should follow the format defined by PHPMD.

Software Risk Manager supports user-defined config.xml PHP_CodeSniffer ruleset files. Place the file within the tool-data/phpcodesniffer directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Files should follow the format defined by PHP_CodeSniffer.

In Software Risk Manager's config file in the tool-data/pmd directory or within a project-specific subdirectory, you can define a value for the debug-logging property (e.g., debug-logging=true to enable verbose PMD logs). You can also define a value for the encoding property (e.g., encoding=UTF-8 to set the character encoding PMD expects source to be in. Acceptable values are any standard java.nio.charset.Charset character set). By default, these are debug-logging=false and encoding=UTF-8.

By default, Software Risk Manager will pass --ignore-pattern **/node_modules/*.

Configuration

Software Risk Manager supports user-defined .eslintrc and .eslintignore ESLint config files. Place the file(s) within the tool-data/eslint directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Files should follow the format defined by ESLint. You can use the js, yml, json, or eslintrc formats.

In the event that there are multiple config files present in different formats, Software Risk Manager will follow the same priority that ESLint uses. ESLint will also use any .eslintrc config files uploaded in the project as defined by the rules explained here.

Additionally, Software Risk Manager will search for an .eslintignore file in the root directory of the uploaded zip file. The .eslintignore file in the zip will take precedence over the .eslintignore file in the tool-data/eslint or project-specific directories. If you use a custom config, be sure to adjust your tool configuration. By default, only the recommended ESLint rules are enabled.

Software Risk Manager also supports user-defined "appdata-dir.dita"he default eslintrc.json file. For users wanting to add minor adjustments to the default configuration, a eslint-config-extra.js can be placed within the tool-data/eslint directory or within a project-specific subdirectory (a directory whose name is the numeric id of the Software Risk Manager project), as with the custom .eslintrc and .eslintignore files mentioned above. When running ESLint, SRM will search for this "extra" config file and, if present, will include it as an extension of its default ESLint config file.

The contents of the eslint-config-extra.js file should be in the form module.exports = { ... }, where the ... is replaced by your custom configuration as defined in the ESLint configuration guide.

Important notes about using a custom .eslintignore file

• If an .eslintignore file is neither found in the uploaded zip file nor provided in the tool-data/eslint directory, Software Risk Manager will pass --ignore-pattern **/node_modules/* as a command-line argument to ESLint.

• If you want to provide an .eslintignore file, it is a good idea to include the **/node_modules/* pattern in that file; linting the contents of your third-party dependencies is not recommended, due to the fact that in some cases this can cause ESLint to fail.

Several ESLint plugins are made available when running as a bundled tool in Software Risk Manager:

• eslint-plugin-security: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-scanjs-rules: disabled by default
• eslint-plugin-no-unsanitized: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-xss: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-html: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-react: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-react-hooks: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-n: enabled by default; replaces eslint-plugin-node
• eslint-plugin-node: disabled by default
• eslint-plugin-import: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-flowtype: enabled by default
• eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y: disabled by default in Software Risk Manager Tool Configuration
• @stylistic/eslint-plugin-js: disabled by default
• @babel/eslint-parser: default Software Risk Manager parser

Any of these plugins can be used in or excluded from your user-defined configs. All plugins use their default or recommended rules and settings, except for no-location-href-assign from eslint-plugin-xss. For this rule, Software Risk Manager uses encodeURIComponent for the escapeFunc option instead of the default escape function, which has been deprecated. More information about how to configure these plugins can be found on their respective npmjs or GitHub pages.

By default, Software Risk Manager will run ESLint on .js, .html, and .htm files. If you want to change this behavior, you can specify a comma-separated list of file extensions with the eslint.extensions setting in your codedx.props file. You do not need to include the . with each file extension (eslint.extensions = js,html,htm). Note that if you decide not to use the html plugin in your custom configs, you must use this setting to specify that you want ESLint to only run on .js files. Otherwise, it will try to scan any .html and .htm files it finds as javascript, which will cause ESLint parsing errors.

Custom Plugins and ESLint Installations

Software Risk Manager allows you to install third-party ESLint plugins, shareable configs, and parsers. To do so, first make sure you have npm installed and accessible from the command line by installing Node.js. Then, open a command line and navigate to the tool-data/eslint directory or a project-specific subdirectory. From there, you can install any plugins, shareable configs, and parsers you wish to use by running the command npm install ... --save. You do not need to install any of the plugins that are included with Software Risk Manager by default.

If you want to use your own ESLint environment, you can specify the path to it in your codedx.props file with the eslint.path setting. Software Risk Manager expects that the provided directory will point to the folder containing ESLint's bin folder. Software Risk Manager will also try to find any of the supported ESLint config files in this directory. Note that if you use the global or project config files as described above, they will take precedence over the ones in this folder. Also, when using an external installation, Software Risk Manager will ignore any custom plugin folders in the tool-data/eslint directory.

Software Risk Manager supports user-defined forms-metadata.json ZPA Oracle Forms metadata files. Place the file within the tool-data/zpa directory or within a project-specific subdirectory. Files should follow the format defined by ZPA.
