Release notes

Enable viewing security scan vulnerabilities for non-default branches in the Security Dashboard to provide comprehensive security insights across all branches.

Problem to solve

Currently, GitLab's Security Dashboard only displays vulnerability reports for the default branch in offline environments. This limitation prevents users from getting a complete view of security vulnerabilities across different branches, especially when security scans are run on non-default branches.

Proposal

Extend the Security Dashboard functionality to:

  1. Display vulnerability reports for all branches, not just the default branch
  2. Add filtering capabilities to view vulnerabilities by branch
  3. Maintain the current pipeline-specific vulnerability view while adding branch-level visibility in the main Security Dashboard
  4. Provide consolidated reporting across all branches with clear branch attribution

Intended users

  • Amy (Application Security Engineer)
  • Alex (Security Operations Engineer)
  • Cameron (Compliance Manager)
  • Delaney (Development Team Lead)
  • Sasha (Software Developer)

Feature Usage Metrics

Track:

  • Number of vulnerability report views for non-default branches
  • Number of unique branches accessed in Security Dashboard
  • Frequency of branch-specific vulnerability report exports
  • User engagement with branch filtering features
