Bridgecrew GitHub Action

The Bridgecrew GitHub Action

Use the Bridgecrew GitHub Action to scan for infrastructure-as-code misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and license issues in open source packages and images, and CI/CD misconfigurations. By signing up for a free Bridgecrew Community plan you can also view dashboards and reports. The community plan does not limit the number of scans or users you can invite to view the results.

How to use the Bridgecrew GitHub Action

1. Follow the instructions at GitHub configuration a workflow to enable Github Action in your repository.
2. Set up an environment variable with your Bridgecrew API key, which you can get from your Bridgecrew account.
3. In the app build job, uses the bridgecrewio/bridgecrew-action@master
4. Optionally, supply parameters to customize GitHub action behaviour

         check: CKV_AWS_1 # optional: run only a specific check_id. can be comma separated list
         skip_check: CKV_AWS_1 # optional: skip a specific check_id. can be comma separated list
         soft_fail: false
         framework: terraform # optional: run only on a specific infrastructure {cloudformation,terraform,kubernetes,all}
