This Fortify SSC parser plugin allows for importing SARIF (Static Analysis Results Interchange Format) files.

Limitations

  • SARIF 2.1.0 only
    The plugin should be able to parse any SARIF files that adhere to the SARIF 2.1.0 specification. Other versions of the specification are currently not supported.

  • Only basic issue information
    At the moment, the plugin only parses and displays basic issue information. Future versions of the plugin may display more information like code flows, thread flows, web requests, web responses, ...

  • Actual results may vary depending on input
    For example, due to the flexibility of the SARIF specification:

    • The plugin may be unable to calculate consistent, unique issue instance id's because the input file doesn't provide sufficient details to uniquely identify an issue
    • The plugin may not be able to determine Fortify Priority Order because the input file does not provide issue severity levels
    • The plugin may be unable to determine Fortify Priority Order because the input file uses custom properties to specify issue severity
    • The plugin may be unable to display appropriate issue category or description because the input file is lacking this information, or providing this information in a non-standard way
  • SARIF results from multiple tools cannot be uploaded to single SSC application version
    Being a generic format, you may have multiple tools generating SARIF files that you want to import into SSC. Due to limitations in the SSC parser framework, it is currently not possible to import SARIF files from different sources into a single SSC application version. Independent of which tool was actually used to generate the SARIF file, SSC will assume that all SARIF files originate from the same scan engine. SSC will try to merge these uploads, thereby basically marking all issues from a previously uploaded SARIF file as 'removed'.
