Gitlab CI

Integrate KICS with GitLab CI

You can integrate KICS into your GitLab CI/CD pipelines.

This provides you the ability to run KICS scans in your GitLab repositories and streamline vulnerabilities and misconfiguration checks to your infrastructure as code (IaC).

Full Example

    name: checkmarx/kics:latest
    entrypoint: [""]

    - kics

kics-scan:
    stage: kics
    script:
        - kics scan --no-progress -p ${PWD} -o ${PWD} --report-formats json --output-name kics-results
    artifacts:
        name: kics-results.json
        paths:
            - kics-results.json
        when: always

Example Results

When your pipeline executes, it will run this job. If KICS finds any issues, it will fail the build.
