Azure Pipelines

Suggest Edits
If you are using Azure DevOps for development automation, you can integrate Bright with your Azure CI pipeline using the Nexploit DevOps Integration extension. The integration allows you to automate the security testing flow by running the Bright scans on every new build within your development environment.

Prerequisites

Setup

Get API key

  • In Bright dashboard navigate to the Organization tab and scroll to the Manage your application API keys section.
  • Press Create new API key button and enter any suitable name (for example, Azure key)

🚧

Important

Make sure to backup the API key, it cannot be restored.

Using a prerecorded .HAR file

If you want to start a new scan with an added .HAR file, first upload your .HAR file to the Bright app using a simple curl command: 

$ curl -X POST "https://app.brightsec.com/api/v1/files?discard=true"  \
    -H "Content-Type: multipart/form/data"                       \
    -H "Authorization: Api-Key API_KEY" \
    -f '[email protected]//path/to/the/file.har"

The response id will then be used during setting a new scan in the pipeline, for example:

 {"ids":["FILE_ID"]}

This id will then be used for the File ID field.

When setup is complete, the new scan will start automatically and be visible in your Nexploit account.

  1. Create a new branch on the repository which we used for a scan without the repeater and upload an empty YAML file to the created branch.

  2. Log in to your Azure DevOps account.

  3. Select Pipelines on the left menu and create a New pipeline.

  1. Under New pipelines select GitHub and we will use our repository that we have previously used for a scan without the repeater. It will prompt us to authorize Azure DevOps with our GitHub account.

  1. When prompted to Configure your pipeline, we will select Existing Azure Pipelines YAML file and select your corresponding branch and correct path to the YAML file.

  1. After we have selected the correct YAML file we will be prompted to edit the preconfigured YAML file. Please note, we need to change the following parameters with our own:
