Review scan results

Anmerkung

Depending on your threat detection service tiers, some features may not be available. To learn what features are included in your service tier, see Software binary analysis (SBA) features.

ReversingLabs integrates into DigiCert​​®​​ Software Trust Manager Threat detection feature to scan all components found in your software prior to release. This scan identifies malware, vulnerabilities, secrets, and more in your developers' code and any third-party components integrated into your software.

Follow these instructions after completing the software scan to review your Threat detection status report, prioritize and resolve your vulnerabilities, and download your automated SBOM or SARIF reports.

Tipp

Your Threat detection scan status will only fail if one or more critical vulnerabilities are detected. DigiCert highly recommends that you resolve critical vulnerabilities before releasing your software for consumption.

Non-critical vulnerabilities detected in your Threat detection scan will result in a pass status. DigiCert recommends that you additionally review these non-critical vulnerabilities to assess the risk based on your organization's policies.

Status

This status and the CI/CD status identifies if critical vulnerabilities were detected in the scan that you should resolve before releasing the software for consumption. Possible values:

  • Fail means that critical vulnerabilities were identified. Recommendation is that you resolve these before you release your software.

  • Pass means that no critical vulnerabilities were identified. However, non-critical (high, medium, and low) vulnerabilities could have been identified, review these results before releasing your software.

Deployment risk priorities

Familiarize yourself with the following deployment risk priorities:

Priority

Description

Status

Recommendation

P0

This issue can result in a full outage or affect a critical function of the product.

Fail

Resolve immediately with as many resources as required.

P1

This issue significantly affects the security of the software and impacts the processes it supports.

Pass

Resolve quickly.

P2

This issue affects multiple users and requires little or no user interaction to trigger.

Pass

Resolve in a reasonable timescale.

P3

This issue affects singular users and requires interaction or significant prerequisites to trigger.

Pass

Resolve at your convenience to improve your software.

P4

This issue is informational and a non-exploitable vulnerability that are generally deemed an acceptable business risk to the customer.

Pass

Resolve eventually to improve your software.

Tipp

Only critical (P0) risks will result in a Fail status. All other risks (P1-P4) found in your software will be displayed with a Pass status.

Recommended procedure:

  1. Review and resolve all P0 deployment risks.

  2. Review P1-P4 deployment risks even though they show a Pass status and decide if you want to resolve or accept the risks associated with the vulnerability.
