How to set up and validate locally

  1. In rails console enable the feature flag
    Feature.enable(:auto_dismiss_vulnerability_policies)
  2. Create a project
  3. Create an auto-dismiss policy:
    vulnerability_management_policy:
    - name: Auto-dismiss acceptable secrets
      description: Auto-dismiss secrets
      enabled: true
      actions:
      - type: auto_dismiss
        dismissal_reason: not_applicable
      rules:
      - type: detected
        criteria:
        - type: file_path
          value: ".env"
  4. Add .gitlab-ci.yml with secret detection
    include:
    - template: Jobs/Secret-Detection.latest.gitlab-ci.yml    
  5. Add two secrets in the main branch:
    1. .env:
      AWS_TOKEN=AKIAZYONPI3G4JNCCWGQ
    2. .env2:
      AWS_TOKEN=AKIAZYONPI3G4JNCCWGA
  6. Wait until the pipeline on main finishes
  7. In the rails console, run the service manually, passing the latest pipeline ID and the two vulnerability IDs:
    Vulnerabilities::AutoDismissService.new(Ci::Pipeline.find(<pipeline_id>), [vuln_1_id, vuln_2_id]).execute
  8. Open the Vulnerability Report, remove the default state filter and verify that the secret from .env got dismissed and there is an activity comment stating the details.
