Scan Execution Policy - prevent skip_ci does not work with scheduled scans.
Summary
In a Scan execution policy, it is possible to prevent users from using [skip_ci] to bypass security scans. It is also possible to setup scheduled scans that will be run daily or weekly.
However when combining these, the skip_ci setting of false is not applied.
Steps to reproduce
- Setup a Scan Execution Policy similar to below:
Policy yaml
scan_execution_policy:
- name: Daily Scan
description: ''
enabled: true
policy_scope:
projects:
excluding: []
skip_ci:
allowed: false
rules:
- type: schedule
cadence: 0 0 * * *
branch_type: protected
timezone: Etc/UTC
actions:
- scan: secret_detection
2, In a test project create a commit with a commit message that ends with [skip_ci].
3. Apply the daily scan security policy to the test project
4. check-in on it the next day
Notice that non of the scans ran for any of the branches.
The behaviour works as expected if the SEP is set to triggered instead of scheduled.
Example Project
What is the current bug behavior?
Users are able to bypass the security scans using [skip_ci] if the security scans are scheduled.
This is not true if the security scans are triggered.
What is the expected correct behavior?
The [skip_ci] setting should apply to scheduled scans as it works for triggered scans.
