-they do not have access to all projects, groups, or the **Admin Area** menu.
+If you are an administrator, you might want to work in GitLab without the access that
+comes from being an administrator. While you could create a separate user account that

-To access potentially dangerous resources, an administrator can activate Admin Mode by:

+### Enable Admin Mode for your instance
+
+Administrators can enable Admin Mode though the API, the Rails console, or the UI.
+
+#### Use the API to enable Admin Mode

+```shell
+curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN:$ADMIN_TOKEN" "<gitlab.example.com>/api/v4/application/settings?admin_mode=true"

+
+Open the [Rails console](../../../administration/operations/rails_console.md) and run the following:
+
+```ruby
+::Gitlab::CurrentSettings.update_attributes!(admin_mode: true)
+```
+
+#### Use the UI to enable Admin Mode
+
+To enable Admin Mode through the UI:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Admin**.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+1. Expand **Sign-in restrictions**.
+1. In the **Admin Mode** section, select the **Require additional authentication for administrative tasks** checkbox.

+# DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) metrics **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/275991) in GitLab 13.7.
+> - [Added support](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/291746) for lead time for changes in GitLab 13.10.
+
+The [DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA)](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/devops-sre/using-the-four-keys-to-measure-your-devops-performance)
+team has identified four metrics that measure DevOps performance.
+Using these metrics helps improve DevOps efficiency and communicate performance to business stakeholders, which can accelerate business results.
+
+DORA includes four key metrics, divided into two core areas of DevOps:
+
+- [Deployment Frequency](#deployment-frequency) and [Lead Time for Change](#lead-time-for-changes) measure team velocity.
+- [Change Failure Rate](#change-failure-rate) and [Time to Restore Service](#time-to-restore-service) measure stability.
+
+For software leaders, tracking velocity alongside quality metrics ensures they're not sacrificing quality for speed.

+
+## DORA Metrics dashboard in Value Stream Analytics
+
+The four DORA metrics are available out-of-the-box in the [Value Stream Analytics (VSA) overview dashboard](../group/value_stream_analytics/index.md#view-dora-metrics-and-key-metrics-for-a-group).
+This helps you visualize the engineering work in the context of end-to-end value delivery.
+
+The One DevOps Platform [Value Stream Management](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/value_stream_analytics) provides end-to-end visibility to the entire software delivery lifecycle.
+This enables teams and managers to understand all aspects of productivity, quality, and delivery, without the ["toolchain tax"](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/value-stream-management/).
+
+## Deployment frequency
+
+Deployment frequency is the frequency of successful deployments to production (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly).
+This measures how often you deliver value to end users. A higher deployment frequency means you can
+get feedback sooner and iterate faster to deliver improvements and features. GitLab measures this as the number of
+deployments to a production environment in the given time period.
+
+Deployment frequency displays in several charts:
+
+- [Group-level value stream analytics](../group/value_stream_analytics/index.md)
+- [Project-level value stream analytics](value_stream_analytics.md)
+- [CI/CD analytics](ci_cd_analytics.md)
+
+To retrieve metrics for deployment frequency, use the [GraphQL](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md) or the [REST](../../api/dora/metrics.md) APIs.
+
+## Lead time for changes
+
+DORA Lead time for changes measures the time to successfully deliver a commit into production.
+This metric reflects the efficiency of CI/CD pipelines.
+
+In GitLab, Lead time for changes calculates the median time it takes for a merge request to get merged into production.
+We measure **from** code committed **to** code successfully running in production, without adding the `coding_time` to the calculation.
+
+Over time, the lead time for changes should decrease, while your team's performance should increase.
+
+Lead time for changes displays in several charts:
+
+- [Group-level value stream analytics](../group/value_stream_analytics/index.md)
+- [Project-level value stream analytics](value_stream_analytics.md)
+- [CI/CD analytics](ci_cd_analytics.md)
+
+To retrieve metrics for lead time for changes, use the [GraphQL](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md) or the [REST](../../api/dora/metrics.md) APIs.
+
+- The definition of lead time for change can vary widely, which often creates confusion within the industry.
+- "Lead time for changes" is not the same as "Lead time". In the value stream, "Lead time" measures the time it takes for work on an issue to move from the moment it's requested (Issue created) to the moment it's fulfilled and delivered (Issue closed).
+
+## Time to restore service
+
+Time to restore service measures how long it takes an organization to recover from a failure in production.
+GitLab measures this as the average time required to close the incidents
+in the given time period. This assumes:
+
+- All incidents are related to a production environment.
+- Incidents and deployments have a strictly one-to-one relationship. An incident is related to only
+one production deployment, and any production deployment is related to no more than one incident).
+
+Time to restore service displays in several charts:
+
+- [Group-level value stream analytics](../group/value_stream_analytics/index.md)
+- [Project-level value stream analytics](value_stream_analytics.md)
+- [CI/CD analytics](ci_cd_analytics.md)
+
+To retrieve metrics for time to restore service, use the [GraphQL](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md) or the [REST](../../api/dora/metrics.md) APIs.
+
+## Change failure rate
+
+Change failure rate measures the percentage of deployments that cause a failure in production. GitLab measures this as the number
+of incidents divided by the number of deployments to a
+production environment in the given time period. This assumes:
+
+- All incidents are related to a production environment.
+- Incidents and deployments have a strictly one-to-one relationship. An incident is related to only
+one production deployment, and any production deployment is related to no
+more than one incident.
+
+To retrieve metrics for change failure rate, use the [GraphQL](../../api/graphql/reference/index.md) or the [REST](../../api/dora/metrics.md) APIs.
+
+### Insights: Custom DORA reporting
+
+Custom charts to visualize DORA data with Insights YAML-based reports.
+
+With this new visualization, software leaders can track metrics improvements, understand patterns in their metrics trends, and compare performance between groups and projects.
+
+### Measure DORA metrics without using GitLab CI/CD pipelines
+
+Deployment frequency is calculated based on the deployments record, which is created for typical push-based deployments.
+These deployment records are not created for pull-based deployments, for example when Container Images are connected to GitLab with an agent.
+
+To track DORA metrics in these cases, you can [create a deployment record](../../api/deployments.md#create-a-deployment) using the Deployments API.

+## Performance tuning and testing speed
+
+Security tools that perform API fuzz testing, such as API Fuzzing, perform testing by sending requests to an instance of your running application. The requests are mutated by our fuzzing engine to trigger unexpected behavior that might exist in your application. The speed of an API fuzzing test depends on the following:
+
+- How many requests per second can be sent to your application by our tooling
+- How fast your application responds to requests
+- How many requests must be sent to test the application
+ - How many operations your API is comprised of
+ - How many fields are in each operation (think JSON bodies, headers, query string, cookies, etc.)
+
+If API Fuzzing testing job still takes longer than expected after following the advice in this performance guide, reach out to support for further assistance.
+
+### Diagnosing performance issues
+
+The first step to resolving performance issues is to understand what is contributing to the slower-than-expected testing time. Some common issues we see are:
+
+- API Fuzzing is running on a slow or single-CPU GitLab Runner (GitLab Shared Runners are single-CPU)
+- The application deployed to a slow/single-CPU instance and is not able to keep up with the testing load
+- The application contains a slow operation that impacts the overall test speed (> 1/2 second)
+- The application contains an operation that returns a large amount of data (> 500K+)
+- The application contains a large number of operations (> 40)
+
+#### The application contains a slow operation that impacts the overall test speed (> 1/2 second)
+
+The API Fuzzing job output contains helpful information about how fast we are testing, how fast each operation being tested responds, and summary information. Let's take a look at some sample output to see how it can be used in tracking down performance issues:
+
+```shell
+API Security: Loaded 10 operations from: assets/har-large-response/large_responses.har
+API Security:
+API Security: Testing operation [1/10]: 'GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json'.
+API Security: - Parameters: (Headers: 4, Query: 0, Body: 0)
+API Security: - Request body size: 0 Bytes (0 bytes)
+API Security:
+API Security: Finished testing operation 'GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json'.
+API Security: - Excluded Parameters: (Headers: 0, Query: 0, Body: 0)
+API Security: - Performed 767 requests
+API Security: - Average response body size: 130 MB
+API Security: - Average call time: 2 seconds and 82.69 milliseconds (2.082693 seconds)
+API Security: - Time to complete: 14 minutes, 8 seconds and 788.36 milliseconds (848.788358 seconds)
+```
+
+This job console output snippet starts by telling us how many operations were found (10), followed by notifications that testing has started on a specific operation and a summary of the operation has been completed. The summary is the most interesting part of this log output. In the summary, we can see that it took API Fuzzing 767 requests to fully test this operation and its related fields. We can also see that the average response time was 2 seconds and the time to complete was 14 minutes for this one operation.
+
+An average response time of 2 seconds is a good initial indicator that this specific operation takes a long time to test. Further, we can see that the response body size is quite large. The large body size is the culprit here, transferring that much data on each request is what takes the majority of that 2 seconds.
+
+For this issue, the team might decide to:
+
+- Use a multi-CPU runner. Using a multi-CPU runner allows API Fuzzing to parallelize the work being performed. This helps lower the test time, but getting the test down under 10 minutes might still be problematic without moving to a high CPU machine due to how long the operation takes to test.
+ - Trade off between how many CPUs and cost.
+- [Exclude this operation](#excluding-slow-operations) from the API Fuzzing test. While this is the simplest, it has the downside of a gap in security test coverage.
+- [Exclude the operation from feature branch API Fuzzing tests, but include it in the default branch test](#excluding-operations-in-feature-branches-but-not-default-branch).
+- [Split up the API Fuzzing testing into multiple jobs](#splitting-a-test-into-multiple-jobs).
+
+The likely solution is to use a combination of these solutions to reach an acceptable test time, assuming your team's requirements are in the 5-7 minute range.
+
+### Addressing performance issues
+
+The following sections document various options for addressing performance issues for API Fuzzing:
+
+- [Using a multi-CPU Runner](#using-a-multi-cpu-runner)
+- [Excluding slow operations](#excluding-slow-operations)
+- [Splitting a test into multiple jobs](#splitting-a-test-into-multiple-jobs)
+- [Excluding operations in feature branches, but not default branch](#excluding-operations-in-feature-branches-but-not-default-branch)
+
+#### Using a multi-CPU Runner
+
+One of the easiest performance boosts can be achieved using a multi-CPU runner with API Fuzzing. This table shows statistics collected during benchmarking of a Java Spring Boot REST API. In this benchmark, the target and API Fuzzing share a single runner instance.
+
+| CPU Count | Request per Second |
+|----------------------|--------------------|
+| 1 CPU (Shared Runner)| 75 |
+| 4 CPU | 255 |
+| 8 CPU | 400 |
+
+As we can see from this table, increasing the CPU count of the runner can have a large impact on testing speed/performance.
+
+To use a multi-CPU typically requires deploying a self-managed GitLab Runner onto a multi-CPU machine or cloud compute instance.
+
+When multiple types of GitLab Runners are available for use, the various instances are commonly set up with tags that can be used in the job definition to select a type of runner.
+
+Here is an example job definition for API Fuzzing that adds a `tags` section with the tag `multi-cpu`. The job automatically extends the job definition included through the API Fuzzing template.
+
+```yaml
+apifuzzer_fuzz:
+ tags:
+ - multi-cpu
+```
+
+To verify that API Fuzzing can detect multiple CPUs in the runner, download the `gl-api-security-scanner.log` file from a completed job's artifacts. Search the file for the string `Starting work item processor` and inspect the reported max DOP (degree of parallelism). The max DOP should be greater than or equal to the number of CPUs assigned to the runner. The value is never lower than 2, even on single CPU runners, unless forced through a configuration variable. If the value reported is less than the number of CPUs assigned to the runner, then something is wrong with the runner deployment. If unable to identify the problem, open a ticket with support to assist.
+
+Example log entry:
+
+`17:00:01.084 [INF] <Peach.Web.Core.Services.WebRunnerMachine> Starting work item processor with 2 max DOP`
+
+#### Excluding slow operations
+
+In the case of one or two slow operations, the team might decide to skip testing the operations. Excluding the operation is done using the `FUZZAPI_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration [variable as explained in this section.](#exclude-paths)
+
+In this example, we have an operation that returns a large amount of data. The operation is `GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json`. To exclude it we provide the `FUZZAPI_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration variable with the path portion of our operation URL `/api/large_response_json`.
+
+To verify the operation is excluded, run the API Fuzzing job and review the job console output. It includes a list of included and excluded operations at the end of the test.
+
+```yaml
+apifuzzer_fuzz:
+ variables:
+ FUZZAPI_EXCLUDE_PATHS: /api/large_response_json
+```
+
+Excluding operations from testing could allow some vulnerabilities to go undetected.
+{: .alert .alert-warning}
+
+#### Splitting a test into multiple jobs
+
+Splitting a test into multiple jobs is supported by API Fuzzing through the use of [`FUZZAPI_EXCLUDE_PATHS`](#exclude-paths) and [`FUZZAPI_EXCLUDE_URLS`](#exclude-urls). When splitting a test up, a good pattern is to disable the `apifuzzer_fuzz` job and replace it with two jobs with identifying names. In this example we have two jobs, each job is testing a version of the API, so our names reflect that. However, this technique can be applied to any situation, not just with versions of an API.
+
+The rules we are using in the `apifuzzer_v1` and `apifuzzer_v2` jobs are copied from the [API Fuzzing template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml).

+#### Excluding operations in feature branches, but not default branch
+
+In the case of one or two slow operations, the team might decide to skip testing the operations, or exclude them from feature branch tests, but include them for default branch tests. Excluding the operation is done using the `FUZZAPI_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration [variable as explained in this section.](#exclude-paths)
+
+In this example, we have an operation that returns a large amount of data. The operation is `GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json`. To exclude it we provide the `FUZZAPI_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration variable with the path portion of our operation URL `/api/large_response_json`. Our configuration disables the main `apifuzzer_fuzz` job and creates two new jobs `apifuzzer_main` and `apifuzzer_branch`. The `apifuzzer_branch` is set up to exclude the long operation and only run on non-default branches (e.g. feature branches). The `apifuzzer_main` branch is set up to only execute on the default branch (`main` in this example). The `apifuzzer_branch` jobs run faster, allowing for quick development cycles, while the `apifuzzer_main` job which only runs on default branch builds, takes longer to run.
+
+To verify the operation is excluded, run the API Fuzzing job and review the job console output. It includes a list of included and excluded operations at the end of the test.
+
+```yaml
+# Disable the main job so we can create two jobs with
+# different names

## Troubleshooting
-### `Error waiting for API Security 'http://127.0.0.1:5000' to become available`
+### API Fuzzing job times out after N hours
+
+The top two reasons for the API Fuzzing job timing out are slow operations (> 1 second) and using a single-CPU runner for API Fuzzing (GitLab shared runners are single-CPU). Before you can diagnose the problem further, the job must complete so the output can be analyzed. We recommend to start with a multi-CPU runner first, then exclude portions of your API operations until the job completes and the output can be further reviewed.
+
+See the following documentation sections for assistance:

-## DAST application analysis
+## GitLab DAST
+
+GitLab provides the following DAST analyzers, one or more of which may be useful depending on the kind of application you're testing.
+
+For scanning websites, use one of:
+
+- The [DAST proxy-based analyzer](proxy-based.md) for scanning traditional applications serving simple HTML. The proxy-based analyzer can be run automatically or on-demand.
+- The [DAST browser-based analyzer](browser_based.md) for scanning applications that make heavy use of JavaScript. This includes single page web applications.
+
+For scanning APIs, use:
+
+- The [DAST API analyzer](../dast_api/index.md) for scanning web APIs. Web API technologies such as GraphQL, REST, and SOAP are supported.
+
+Analyzers follow the architectural patterns described in [Secure your application](../index.md).
+Each analyzer can be configured in the pipeline using a CI template and runs the scan in a Docker container. Scans output a [DAST report artifact](../../../ci/yaml/artifacts_reports.md#artifactsreportsdast)
+which GitLab uses to determine discovered vulnerabilities based on differences between scan results on the source and target branches.
+
+### Getting started
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+- [GitLab Runner](../../../ci/runners/index.md) available, with the
+ [`docker` executor](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html) on Linux/amd64.
+- Target application deployed. For more details, read [Deployment options](#application-deployment-options).
+- `dast` stage added to the CI/CD pipeline definition. This should be added after the deploy step, for example:
+
+ ```yaml
+ stages:
+ - build
+ - test
+ - deploy
+ - dast
+ ```
+
+#### Recommendations
+
+- Take care if your pipeline is configured to deploy to the same web server in each run. Running a DAST scan while a server is being updated will lead to inaccurate and non-deterministic results.
+- Configure runners to use the [always pull policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html#using-the-always-pull-policy) to run the latest versions of the analyzers.
+- By default, DAST downloads all artifacts defined by previous jobs in the pipeline. If
+ your DAST job does not rely on `environment_url.txt` to define the URL under test or any other files created
+ in previous jobs, we recommend you don't download artifacts. To avoid downloading
+ artifacts, extend the analyzer CI/CD job to specify no dependencies. For example, for the DAST proxy-based analyzer add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
+
+ ```yaml
+ dast:
+ dependencies: []
+ ```
+
+#### Analyzer configuration
+
+Please see [DAST proxy-based analyzer](proxy-based.md), [DAST browser-based analyzer](browser_based.md) or [DAST API analyzer](../dast_api/index.md) for
+analyzer-specific configuration instructions.
+

+Detected vulnerabilities are shown in [Merge requests](../index.md#view-security-scan-information-in-merge-requests), the [Pipeline security tab](../index.md#view-security-scan-information-in-the-pipeline-security-tab),
+and the [Vulnerability report](../index.md#view-security-scan-information-in-the-vulnerability-report).
-- Passive scan only (DAST default). DAST executes
- [ZAP's Baseline Scan](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/docker/baseline-scan/) and doesn't
- actively attack your application.
-- Passive and active scan. DAST can be [configured](#full-scan) to also perform an active scan
- to attack your application and produce a more extensive security report. It can be very
- useful when combined with [Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md).
+1. To see all vulnerabilities detected, either:
+ - From your project, select **Security & Compliance**, then **Vulnerability report**.
+ - From your pipeline, click on the **Security** tab.
+ - From the merge request, go to the **Security scanning** widget and click **Full report** tab.
+
+1. Select a DAST vulnerability's description. The following fields are examples of what a DAST analyzer may produce to aid investigation and rectification of the underlying cause. Each analyzer may output different fields.
+
+ | Field | Description |
+ |:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+ | Description | Description of the vulnerability. |
+ | Evidence | Evidence of the data found that verified the vulnerability. Often a snippet of the request or response, this can be used to help verify that the finding is a vulnerability. |
+ | Identifiers | Identifiers of the vulnerability. |
+ | Links | Links to further details of the detected vulnerability. |
+ | Method | HTTP method used to detect the vulnerability. |
+ | Project | Namespace and project in which the vulnerability was detected. |
+ | Request Headers | Headers of the request. |
+ | Response Headers | Headers of the response received from the application. |

-### Deployment options
+### Application deployment options
+
+DAST requires a deployed application to be available to scan.
Depending on the complexity of the target application, there are a few options as to how to deploy and configure
-the DAST template. We provided a set of example applications with their configurations in our
+the DAST template. A set of example applications have been provided with their configurations in the
[DAST demonstrations](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/demos/dast/) project.

-### DAST job order
-
-When using the `DAST.gitlab-ci.yml` template, the `dast` stage is run last as shown in
-the example below. To ensure DAST scans the latest code, deploy your application
-in a stage before the `dast` stage.
-
-```yaml
- stages:
- - build
- - test
- - deploy
- - dast
-```
-
-Take care if your pipeline is configured to deploy to the same web server in each run. Running a
-pipeline while another is still running could result in one pipeline overwriting the code from
-another pipeline. The site to be scanned should be excluded from changes for the duration of a DAST
-scan. The only changes to the site should be from the DAST scanner.
-
-Changes to the site during a scan from any of the following could lead to inaccurate results:
-
-- Users.
-- Scheduled tasks.
-- Database changes.
-- Code changes.
-- Other pipelines.
-- Other scanners.
-
-## DAST run options
-
-You can use DAST to examine your web application:
-
-- Automatically, initiated by a merge request.
-- Manually, initiated on demand.
-
-Some of the differences between these run options:
-
-| Automatic scan | On-demand scan |
-|:-----------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------|
-| DAST scan is initiated by a merge request. | DAST scan is initiated manually, outside the DevOps life cycle. |
-| CI/CD variables are sourced from `.gitlab-ci.yml`. | CI/CD variables are provided in the UI. |
-| All [DAST CI/CD variables](#available-cicd-variables) available. | Subset of [DAST CI/CD variables](#available-cicd-variables) available. |
-| `DAST.gitlab-ci.yml` template. | `DAST-On-Demand-Scan.gitlab-ci.yml` template. |
-
-### Enable automatic DAST run
-
-To enable DAST to run automatically, either:
-
-- Enable [Auto DAST](../../../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-dast) (provided
- by [Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md)).
-- [Include the DAST template](#include-the-dast-template) in your existing
- `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
-- [Configure DAST using the UI](#configure-dast-using-the-ui).
-
-#### Include the DAST template
-
-> - This template was [updated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/62597) to DAST_VERSION: 2 in GitLab 14.0.
-> - This template was [updated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/87183) to DAST_VERSION: 3 in GitLab 15.0.
-
-If you want to manually add DAST to your application, the DAST job is defined
-in a CI/CD template file. Updates to the template are provided with GitLab
-upgrades, allowing you to benefit from any improvements and additions.
-
-To include the DAST template:
-
-1. Select the CI/CD template you want to use:
-
- - [`DAST.gitlab-ci.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/DAST.gitlab-ci.yml):
- Stable version of the DAST CI/CD template.
- - [`DAST.latest.gitlab-ci.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/DAST.latest.gitlab-ci.yml):
- Latest version of the DAST template. ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/254325)
- in GitLab 13.8).
-
- WARNING:
- The latest version of the template may include breaking changes. Use the
- stable template unless you need a feature provided only in the latest template.
-
- For more information about template versioning, see the
- [CI/CD documentation](../../../development/cicd/templates.md#latest-version).
-
-1. Add a `dast` stage to your GitLab CI stages configuration:
-
- ```yaml
- stages:
- - dast
- ```
-
-1. Add the template to GitLab, based on your version of GitLab:
-
- - In GitLab 11.9 and later, [include](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#includetemplate)
- the template by adding the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
-
- ```yaml
- include:
- - template: <template_file.yml>
-
- variables:
- DAST_WEBSITE: https://example.com
- ```
-
- - In GitLab 11.8 and earlier, add the contents of the template to your
- `.gitlab_ci.yml` file.
-
-1. Define the URL to be scanned by DAST by using one of these methods:
-
- - Set the `DAST_WEBSITE` [CI/CD variable](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#variables).
- If set, this value takes precedence.
-
- - Add the URL in an `environment_url.txt` file at the root of your project. This is
- useful for testing in dynamic environments. To run DAST against an application
- dynamically created during a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, a job that runs prior to
- the DAST scan must persist the application's domain in an `environment_url.txt`
- file. DAST automatically parses the `environment_url.txt` file to find its
- scan target.
-
- For example, in a job that runs prior to DAST, you could include code that
- looks similar to:
-
- ```yaml
- script:
- - echo http://${CI_PROJECT_ID}-${CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG}.domain.com > environment_url.txt
- artifacts:
- paths: [environment_url.txt]
- when: always
- ```
-
- You can see an example of this in our
- [Auto DevOps CI YAML](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/Deploy.gitlab-ci.yml)
- file.
-
-The included template creates a `dast` job in your CI/CD pipeline and scans
-your project's running application for possible vulnerabilities.
-
-The results are saved as a
-[DAST report artifact](../../../ci/yaml/artifacts_reports.md#artifactsreportsdast)
-that you can later download and analyze. Due to implementation limitations, we
-always take the latest DAST artifact available. Behind the scenes, the
-[GitLab DAST Docker image](https://gitlab.com/security-products/dast)
-is used to run the tests on the specified URL and scan it for possible
-vulnerabilities.
-
-By default, the DAST template uses the latest major version of the DAST Docker
-image. Using the `DAST_VERSION` variable, you can choose how DAST updates:
-
-- Automatically update DAST with new features and fixes by pinning to a major
- version (such as `1`).
-- Only update fixes by pinning to a minor version (such as `1.6`).
-- Prevent all updates by pinning to a specific version (such as `1.6.4`).
-
-Find the latest DAST versions on the [Releases](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/-/releases)
-page.
-
-#### Configure DAST using the UI
-
-You can enable or configure DAST settings using the UI. The generated settings are formatted so they
-can be conveniently pasted into the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Security & Compliance > Configuration**.
-1. In the **Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)** section, select **Enable DAST** or
- **Configure DAST**.
-1. Select the desired **Scanner profile**, or select **Create scanner profile** and save a
- scanner profile. For more details, see [scanner profiles](#scanner-profile).
-1. Select the desired **Site profile**, or select **Create site profile** and save a site
- profile. For more details, see [site profiles](#site-profile).
-1. Select **Generate code snippet**. A modal opens with the YAML snippet corresponding to the
- options you selected.
-1. Do one of the following:
- 1. To copy the snippet to your clipboard, select **Copy code only**.
- 1. To add the snippet to your project's `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, select
- **Copy code and open `.gitlab-ci.yml` file**. The Pipeline Editor opens.
- 1. Paste the snippet into the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
- 1. Select the **Lint** tab to confirm the edited `.gitlab-ci.yml` file is valid.
- 1. Select the **Edit** tab, then select **Commit changes**.
-
-When the snippet is committed to the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, pipelines include a DAST job.
-
-#### Crawling web applications dependent on JavaScript
-
-GitLab has released a new browser-based crawler, an add-on to DAST that uses a browser to crawl web applications for content. This crawler replaces the standard DAST Spider and Ajax Crawler, and uses the same authentication mechanisms as a normal DAST scan.
-
-The browser-based crawler crawls websites by browsing web pages as a user would. This approach works well with web applications that make heavy use of JavaScript, such as Single Page Applications.
-
-For more details, including setup instructions, see [DAST browser-based crawler](browser_based.md).
-
-### Full scan
-
-DAST can be configured to perform [ZAP Full Scan](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/docker/full-scan/), which
-includes both passive and active scanning against the same target website:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_FULL_SCAN_ENABLED: "true"
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
-```
-
-If your DAST job exceeds the job timeout and you need to reduce the scan duration, we shared some
-tips for optimizing DAST scans in a [blog post](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/08/31/how-to-configure-dast-full-scans-for-complex-web-applications/).
-
-### API scan
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/10928) in GitLab 12.10.
-> - A new DAST API scanning engine was introduced in GitLab 13.10.
-
-Using an API specification as a scan's target is a useful way to seed URLs for scanning an API.
-Vulnerability rules in an API scan are different than those in a normal website scan.
-
-A new DAST API scanning engine is available in GitLab 13.12 and later. For more details, see [DAST API scanning engine](../dast_api). The new scanning engine supports REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and generic APIs using forms, XML, and JSON. Testing can be performed using OpenAPI, Postman Collections, and HTTP Archive (HAR) documents.
-
-The target API instance's base URL is provided by using the `DAST_API_TARGET_URL` variable or an `environment_url.txt` file.
-
-#### Specification format
-
-API scans support OpenAPI V2 and OpenAPI V3 specifications. You can define these specifications using `JSON` or `YAML`.
-
-#### Import API specification from a URL
-
-If your API specification is accessible at a URL, you can pass that URL in directly as the target.
-The specification does not have to be hosted on the same host as the API being tested.
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: http://my.api/api-specification.yml
-```
-
-#### Import API specification from a file
-
-If your API specification file is in your repository, you can provide its filename as the target.
-
-```yaml
-dast:
- variables:
- GIT_STRATEGY: fetch
- DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: api-specification.yml
-```
-
-#### Full API scan
-
-API scans support full scanning, which can be enabled by using the `DAST_FULL_SCAN_ENABLED`
-CI/CD variable. Domain validation is not supported for full API scans.
-
-#### Host override
-
-Specifications often define a host, which contains a domain name and a port. The
-host referenced may be different than the host of the API's review instance.
-This can cause incorrect URLs to be imported, or a scan on an incorrect host.
-Use the `DAST_API_HOST_OVERRIDE` CI/CD variable to override these values.
-
-WARNING:
-When using the API host override feature, you cannot use the `$DAST_WEBSITE` variable to override the hostname.
-A host override is _only_ supported when importing the API specification from a URL. Attempts to override the
-host throw an error when the API specification is imported from a file. This is due to a limitation in the
-ZAP OpenAPI extension.
-
-For example, with a OpenAPI V3 specification containing:
-
-```yaml
-servers:
- - url: https://api.host.com
-```
-
-If the test version of the API is running at `https://api-test.host.com`, then
-the following DAST configuration can be used:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: http://api-test.host.com/api-specification.yml
- DAST_API_HOST_OVERRIDE: api-test.host.com
-```
-
-#### Authentication using headers
-
-Tokens in request headers are often used as a way to authenticate API requests.
-You can achieve this by using the `DAST_REQUEST_HEADERS` CI/CD variable.
-Headers are applied to every request DAST makes.
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: http://api-test.api.com/api-specification.yml
- DAST_REQUEST_HEADERS: "Authorization: Bearer my.token"
-```
-
-### URL scan
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214120) in GitLab 13.4.
-> - [Improved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/273141) in GitLab 13.11.
-
-A URL scan allows you to specify which parts of a website are scanned by DAST.
-
-#### Define the URLs to scan
-
-URLs to scan can be specified by either of the following methods:
-
-- Use `DAST_PATHS_FILE` CI/CD variable to specify the name of a file containing the paths.
-- Use `DAST_PATHS` variable to list the paths.
-
-##### Use `DAST_PATHS_FILE` CI/CD variable
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/258825) in GitLab 13.6.
-
-To define the URLs to scan in a file, create a plain text file with one path per line.
-
-```plaintext
-page1.html
-/page2.html
-category/shoes/page1.html
-```
-
-To scan the URLs in that file, set the CI/CD variable `DAST_PATHS_FILE` to the path of that file.
-The file can be checked into the project repository or generated as an artifact by a job that
-runs before DAST.
-
-By default, DAST scans do not clone the project repository. Instruct the DAST job to clone
-the project by setting `GIT_STRATEGY` to fetch. Give a file path relative to `CI_PROJECT_DIR` to `DAST_PATHS_FILE`.
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- GIT_STRATEGY: fetch
- DAST_PATHS_FILE: url_file.txt # url_file.txt lives in the root directory of the project
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
-```
-
-##### Use `DAST_PATHS` CI/CD variable
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214120) in GitLab 13.4.
-
-To specify the paths to scan in a CI/CD variable, add a comma-separated list of the paths to the `DAST_PATHS`
-variable. Note that you can only scan paths of a single host.
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_PATHS: "/page1.html,/category1/page1.html,/page3.html"
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
-```
-
-When using `DAST_PATHS` and `DAST_PATHS_FILE`, note the following:
-
-- `DAST_WEBSITE` must be defined when using either `DAST_PATHS_FILE` or `DAST_PATHS`. The paths listed in either use `DAST_WEBSITE` to build the URLs to scan
-- Spidering is disabled when `DAST_PATHS` or `DAST_PATHS_FILE` are defined
-- `DAST_PATHS_FILE` and `DAST_PATHS` cannot be used together
-- The `DAST_PATHS` variable has a limit of about 130kb. If you have a list or paths
- greater than this, use `DAST_PATHS_FILE`.
-
-#### Full Scan
-
-To perform a [full scan](#full-scan) on the listed paths, use the `DAST_FULL_SCAN_ENABLED` CI/CD variable.
-
-### List URLs scanned
-
-When DAST completes scanning, the merge request page states the number of URLs scanned.
-Select **View details** to view the web console output which includes the list of scanned URLs.
-
-![DAST Widget](img/dast_urls_scanned_v12_10.png)
-
-### View details of a vulnerability detected by DAST
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36332) in GitLab 13.1.
-
-Vulnerabilities detected by DAST occur in the live web application. Addressing these types of
-vulnerabilities requires specific information. DAST provides the information required to
-investigate and rectify the underlying cause.
-
-To view details of vulnerabilities detected by DAST:
-
-1. To see all vulnerabilities detected, either:
- - Go to your project and select **Security & Compliance**.
- - Go to the merge request and select the **Security** tab.
-
-1. Select a vulnerability's description. The following details are provided:
-
- | Field | Description |
- |:-----------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------ |
- | Description | Description of the vulnerability. |
- | Project | Namespace and project in which the vulnerability was detected. |
- | Method | HTTP method used to detect the vulnerability. |
- | URL | URL at which the vulnerability was detected. |
- | Request Headers | Headers of the request. |
- | Response Status | Response status received from the application. |
- | Response Headers | Headers of the response received from the application. |
- | Evidence | Evidence of the data found that verified the vulnerability. Often a snippet of the request or response, this can be used to help verify that the finding is a vulnerability. |
- | Identifiers | Identifiers of the vulnerability. |
- | Severity | Severity of the vulnerability. |
- | Scanner Type | Type of vulnerability report. |
- | Links | Links to further details of the detected vulnerability. |
- | Solution | Details of a recommended solution to the vulnerability (optional). |
-
-## Customize DAST settings
-
-You can customize the behavior of DAST using both CI/CD variables and command-line options. Use of CI/CD
-variables overrides the values contained in the DAST template.
-
-### Customize DAST using CI/CD variables
-
-WARNING:
-Beginning in GitLab 13.0, the use of [`only` and `except`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#only--except)
-is no longer supported. You must use [`rules`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#rules) instead.
-
-The DAST settings can be changed through CI/CD variables by using the
-[`variables`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#variables) parameter in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. For details of
-all DAST CI/CD variables, read [Available CI/CD variables](#available-cicd-variables).
-
-For example:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_WEBSITE: https://example.com
- DAST_SPIDER_MINS: 120
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
-```
-
-Because the template is [evaluated before](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#include) the pipeline
-configuration, the last mention of the variable takes precedence.
-
-#### Enable or disable rules
-
-A complete list of the rules that DAST uses to scan for vulnerabilities can be
-found in the [ZAP documentation](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/).
-
-`DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` disables the rules with the given IDs.
-
-`DAST_ONLY_INCLUDE_RULES` restricts the set of rules used in the scan to
-those with the given IDs.
-
-`DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` and `DAST_ONLY_INCLUDE_RULES` are mutually exclusive and a
-DAST scan with both configured exits with an error.
-
-By default, several rules are disabled because they either take a long time to
-run or frequently generate false positives. The complete list of disabled rules
-can be found in [`exclude_rules.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/-/blob/main/src/config/exclude_rules.yml).
-
-The lists for `DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` and `DAST_ONLY_INCLUDE_RULES` **must** be enclosed in double
-quotes (`"`), otherwise they are interpreted as numeric values.
-
-#### Hide sensitive information
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36332) in GitLab 13.1.
-
-HTTP request and response headers may contain sensitive information, including cookies and
-authorization credentials. By default, the following headers are masked:
-
-- `Authorization`.
-- `Proxy-Authorization`.
-- `Set-Cookie` (values only).
-- `Cookie` (values only).
-
-Using the [`DAST_MASK_HTTP_HEADERS` CI/CD variable](#available-cicd-variables), you can list the
-headers whose values you want masked. For details on how to mask headers, see
-[Customizing the DAST settings](#customize-dast-settings).
-
-#### Use Mutual TLS
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/299596) in GitLab 14.8.
-
-Mutual TLS allows a target application server to verify that requests are from a known source. Browser-based scans do not support Mutual TLS.
-
-**Requirements**
-
-- Base64-encoded PKCS12 certificate
-- Password of the base64-encoded PKCS12 certificate
-
-To enable Mutual TLS:
-
-1. If the PKCS12 certificate is not already base64-encoded, convert it to base64 encoding. For security reasons, we recommend encoding the certificate locally, **not** using a web-hosted conversion service. For example, to encode the certificate on either macOS or Linux:
-
- ```shell
- base64 <path-to-pkcs12-certificate-file>
- ```
-
-1. Create a [masked variable](../../../ci/variables/index.md) named `DAST_PKCS12_CERTIFICATE_BASE64` and store the base64-encoded PKCS12 certificate's value in that variable.
-1. Create a masked variable `DAST_PKCS12_PASSWORD` and store the PKCS12 certificate's password in that variable.
-
-#### Available CI/CD variables
-
-These CI/CD variables are specific to DAST. They can be used to customize the behavior of DAST to your requirements.
-
-WARNING:
-All customization of GitLab security scanning tools should be tested in a merge request before
-merging these changes to the default branch. Failure to do so can give unexpected results,
-including a large number of false positives.
-
-| CI/CD variable | Type | Description |
-|:-------------------------------------------------|:--------------|:------------------------------|
-| `DAST_ADVERTISE_SCAN` | boolean | Set to `true` to add a `Via` header to every request sent, advertising that the request was sent as part of a GitLab DAST scan. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/334947) in GitLab 14.1. |
-| `DAST_AGGREGATE_VULNERABILITIES` | boolean | Vulnerability aggregation is set to `true` by default. To disable this feature and see each vulnerability individually set to `false`. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/254043) in GitLab 14.0. |
-| `DAST_API_HOST_OVERRIDE` <sup>1</sup> | string | Used to override domains defined in API specification files. Only supported when importing the API specification from a URL. Example: `example.com:8080`. |
-| `DAST_API_SPECIFICATION` <sup>1</sup> | URL or string | The API specification to import. The specification can be hosted at a URL, or the name of a file present in the `/zap/wrk` directory. The variable `DAST_WEBSITE` must be specified if this is omitted. |
-| `DAST_AUTH_REPORT` <sup>2</sup> | boolean | Used in combination with exporting the `gl-dast-debug-auth-report.html` artifact to aid in debugging authentication issues. |
-| `DAST_AUTH_EXCLUDE_URLS` <sup>2</sup> | URLs | **{warning}** **[Removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/289959)** in GitLab 14.0. Replaced by `DAST_EXCLUDE_URLS`. The URLs to skip during the authenticated scan; comma-separated. Regular expression syntax can be used to match multiple URLs. For example, `.*` matches an arbitrary character sequence. Not supported for API scans. |
-| `DAST_AUTH_URL` <sup>1,2</sup> | URL | The URL of the page containing the sign-in HTML form on the target website. `DAST_USERNAME` and `DAST_PASSWORD` are submitted with the login form to create an authenticated scan. Not supported for API scans. Example: `https://login.example.com`. |
-| `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_LOGIN_FORM` <sup>2</sup> | boolean | Verifies successful authentication by checking for the lack of a login form once the login form has been submitted. |
-| `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_SELECTOR` <sup>2</sup> | selector | Verifies successful authentication by checking for presence of a selector once the login form has been submitted. Example: `css:.user-photo`. |
-| `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_URL` <sup>1,2</sup> | URL | A URL only accessible to logged in users that DAST can use to confirm successful authentication. If provided, DAST exits if it cannot access the URL. Example: `"http://example.com/loggedin_page"`. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/207335) in GitLab 13.8. |
-| `DAST_AUTO_UPDATE_ADDONS` | boolean | ZAP add-ons are pinned to specific versions in the DAST Docker image. Set to `true` to download the latest versions when the scan starts. Default: `false`. |
-| `DAST_BROWSER_PATH_TO_LOGIN_FORM` <sup>1,2</sup> | selector | Comma-separated list of selectors that are selected prior to attempting to enter `DAST_USERNAME` and `DAST_PASSWORD` into the login form. Example: `"css:.navigation-menu,css:.login-menu-item"`. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/326633) in GitLab 14.1. |

-
-1. Available to an on-demand DAST scan.
-1. Used for authentication.
-
-### Customize DAST using command-line options
-
-Not all DAST configuration is available via CI/CD variables. To find out all
-possible options, run the following configuration.
-Available command-line options are printed to the job log:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-dast:
- script:
- - /analyze --help
-```
-
-You must then overwrite the `script` command to pass in the appropriate
-argument. For example, vulnerability definitions in alpha can be included with
-`-a`. The following configuration includes those definitions:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-dast:
- script:
- - export DAST_WEBSITE=${DAST_WEBSITE:-$(cat environment_url.txt)}
- - /analyze -a -t $DAST_WEBSITE
-```
-
-### Custom ZAProxy configuration
-
-The ZAProxy server contains many [useful configurable values](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36437#note_245801885).
-Many key/values for `-config` remain undocumented, but there is an untested list of
-[possible keys](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36437#note_244981023).
-Note that these options are not supported by DAST, and may break the DAST scan
-when used. An example of how to rewrite the Authorization header value with `TOKEN` follows:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_ZAP_CLI_OPTIONS: "-config replacer.full_list(0).description=auth -config replacer.full_list(0).enabled=true -config replacer.full_list(0).matchtype=REQ_HEADER -config replacer.full_list(0).matchstr=Authorization -config replacer.full_list(0).regex=false -config replacer.full_list(0).replacement=TOKEN"
-```
-
-## Authentication
-
-NOTE:
-We highly recommend you configure the scanner to authenticate to the application. If you don't, it cannot check most of the application for security risks, as most
-of your application is likely not accessible without authentication. We also recommend
-you periodically confirm the scanner's authentication is still working, as this tends to break over
-time due to authentication changes to the application.
-
-Create masked CI/CD variables to pass the credentials that DAST uses.
-To create masked variables for the username and password, see [Create a custom variable in the UI](../../../ci/variables/index.md#custom-cicd-variables).
-The key of the username variable must be `DAST_USERNAME`,
-and the key of the password variable must be `DAST_PASSWORD`.
-
-After DAST has authenticated with the application, all cookies are collected from the web browser.
-For each cookie a matching session token is created for use by ZAP. This ensures ZAP is recognized
-by the application as correctly authenticated.
-
-Authentication supports single form logins, multi-step login forms, and authenticating to URLs outside of the configured target URL.
-
-WARNING:
-**Never** run an authenticated scan against a production server. When an authenticated
-scan is run, it may perform *any* function that the authenticated user can. This
-includes actions like modifying and deleting data, submitting forms, and following links.
-Only run an authenticated scan against a test server.
-
-### SSO
-
-DAST can authenticate to websites making use of SSO, with the following restrictions:
-
-- DAST cannot bypass a CAPTCHA if the authentication flow includes one.
-- DAST cannot handle multi-factor authentication like one-time passwords (OTP) by using SMS or authenticator apps.
-- DAST must get a cookie, or a local or session storage, with a sufficiently random value.
-
-The [authentication debug output](index.md#configure-the-authentication-debug-output) can be helpful for troubleshooting SSO authentication
-with DAST.
-
-### Log in using automatic detection of the login form
-
-By providing a `DAST_USERNAME`, `DAST_PASSWORD`, and `DAST_AUTH_URL`, DAST attempts to authenticate to the
-target application by locating the login form based on a determination about whether or not the form contains username or password fields.
-
-Automatic detection is "best-effort", and depending on the application being scanned may provide either a resilient login experience or one that fails to authenticate the user.
-
-Login process:
-
-1. The `DAST_AUTH_URL` is loaded into the browser, and any forms on the page are located.
- 1. If a form contains a username and password field, `DAST_USERNAME` and `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted into the respective fields, the form submit button is selected and the user is logged in.
- 1. If a form contains only a username field, it is assumed that the login form is multi-step.
- 1. The `DAST_USERNAME` is inputted into the username field and the form submit button is selected.
- 1. The subsequent pages loads where it is expected that a form exists and contains a password field. If found, `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted, form submit button is selected and the user is logged in.
-
-### Log in using explicit selection of the login form
-
-By providing a `DAST_USERNAME_FIELD`, `DAST_PASSWORD_FIELD`, and `DAST_SUBMIT_FIELD`, in addition to the fields required for automatic login,
-DAST attempts to authenticate to the target application by locating the login form based on the selectors provided.
-Most applications benefit from this approach to authentication.
-
-Login process:
-
-1. The `DAST_AUTH_URL` is loaded into the browser, and any forms on the page are located.
- 1. If the `DAST_FIRST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is not defined, then `DAST_USERNAME` is inputted into `DAST_USERNAME_FIELD`, `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted into `DAST_PASSWORD_FIELD`, `DAST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is selected and the user is logged in.
- 1. If the `DAST_FIRST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is defined, then it is assumed that the login form is multi-step.
- 1. The `DAST_USERNAME` is inputted into the `DAST_USERNAME_FIELD` field and the `DAST_FIRST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is selected.
- 1. The subsequent pages loads where the `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted into the `DAST_PASSWORD_FIELD` field, the `DAST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is selected and the user is logged in.
-
-### Verifying successful login
-
-Once the login form has been submitted, DAST determines if the login was successful. Unsuccessful attempts at authentication cause the scan to halt.
-
-Following the submission of the login form, authentication is determined to be unsuccessful when:
-
-- A `400` or `500` series HTTP response status code is returned.
-- A new cookie/browser storage value determined to be sufficiently random has not been set.
-
-In addition to these checks, the user can configure their own verification checks.
-Each of the following checks can be used in conjunction with one another, if none are configured by default the presence of a login form is checked.
-
-#### Verifying based on the URL
-
-When `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_URL` is configured, the URL displayed in the browser tab post login form submission is directly compared to the URL in the CI/CD variable.
-If these are not exactly the same, authentication is deemed to be unsuccessful.
-
-For example:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-dast:
- variables:
- DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
- ...
- DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_URL: "https://example.com/user/welcome"
-```
-
-#### Verify based on presence of an element
-
-When `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_SELECTOR` is configured, the page displayed in the browser tab is searched for an element described by the selector in the CI/CD variable.
-If no element is found, authentication is deemed to be unsuccessful.
-
-For example:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-dast:
- variables:
- DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
- ...
- DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_SELECTOR: "css:.welcome-user"
-```
-
-#### Verify based on presence of a login form
-
-When `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_LOGIN_FORM` is configured, the page displayed in the browser tab is searched for a form that is detected to be a login form.
-If any such form is found, authentication is deemed to be unsuccessful.
-
-For example:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-dast:
- variables:
- DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
- ...
- DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_LOGIN_FORM: "true"
-```
-
-### View the login form
-
-Many web applications show the user the login form in a pop-up (modal) window.
-For these applications, navigating to the form requires both:
-
-- A starting URL.
-- A list of elements to select to display the modal window.
-
-When `DAST_BROWSER_PATH_TO_LOGIN_FORM` is present, like in this example:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-dast:
- variables:
- DAST_WEBSITE: "https://my.site.com"
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
- ...
- DAST_AUTH_URL: "https://my.site.com/admin"
- DAST_BROWSER_PATH_TO_LOGIN_FORM: "css:.navigation-menu,css:.login-menu-item"
-```
-
-DAST performs these actions:
-
-1. Load the `DAST_AUTH_URL` page, such as `https://my.site.com/admin`.
-1. After the page loads, DAST selects elements found by the selectors described
- in `DAST_BROWSER_PATH_TO_LOGIN_FORM`. This example opens the navigation menu
- and selects the login menu, to display the login modal window.
-1. To continue the authentication process, DAST fills in the username and password
- on the login form.
-
-### Configure the authentication debug output
-
-It is often difficult to understand the cause of an authentication failure when running DAST in a CI/CD pipeline.
-To assist users in debugging authentication issues, a debug report can be generated and saved as a job artifact.
-This HTML report contains all steps made during the login process, along with HTTP requests and responses, the Document Object Model (DOM) and screenshots.
-
-![dast-auth-report](img/dast_auth_report.jpg)
-
-An example configuration where the authentication debug report is exported may look like the following:
-
-```yaml
-dast:
- variables:
- DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
- DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
- ...
- DAST_AUTH_REPORT: "true"
- artifacts:
- paths: [gl-dast-debug-auth-report.html]
- when: always
-```
-
-### Selectors
-
-Selectors are used by CI/CD variables to specify the location of an element displayed on a page in a browser.
-Selectors have the format `type`:`search string`. The crawler searches for the selector using the search string based on the type.
-
-| Selector type | Example | Description |
-| ------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------- |
-| `css` | `css:.password-field` | Searches for a HTML element having the supplied CSS selector. Selectors should be as specific as possible for performance reasons. |
-| `id` | `id:element` | Searches for an HTML element with the provided element ID. |
-| `name` | `name:element` | Searches for an HTML element with the provided element name. |
-| `xpath` | `xpath://input[@id="my-button"]/a` | Searches for a HTML element with the provided XPath. Note that XPath searches are expected to be less performant than other searches. |
-| None provided | `a.click-me` | Defaults to searching using a CSS selector. |
-
-#### Find selectors with Google Chrome
-
-Chrome DevTools element selector tool is an effective way to find a selector.
-
-1. Open Chrome and navigate to the page where you would like to find a selector, for example, the login page for your site.
-1. Open the `Elements` tab in Chrome DevTools with the keyboard shortcut `Command + Shift + c` in macOS or `Ctrl + Shift + c` in Windows.
-1. Select the `Select an element in the page to select it` tool.
- ![search-elements](img/dast_auth_browser_scan_search_elements.png)
-1. Select the field on your page that you would like to know the selector for.
-1. Once the tool is active, highlight a field you wish to view the details of.
- ![highlight](img/dast_auth_browser_scan_highlight.png)
-1. Once highlighted, you can see the element's details, including attributes that would make a good candidate for a selector.
-
-In this example, the `id="user_login"` appears to be a good candidate. You can use this as a selector as the DAST username field by setting
-`DAST_USERNAME_FIELD: "id:user_login"`.
-
-#### Choose the right selector
-
-Judicious choice of selector leads to a scan that is resilient to the application changing.
-
-In order of preference, it is recommended to choose as selectors:
-
-- `id` fields. These are generally unique on a page, and rarely change.
-- `name` fields. These are generally unique on a page, and rarely change.
-- `class` values specific to the field, such as the selector `"css:.username"` for the `username` class on the username field.
-- Presence of field specific data attributes, such as the selector, `"css:[data-username]"` when the `data-username` field has any value on the username field.
-- Multiple `class` hierarchy values, such as the selector `"css:.login-form .username"` when there are multiple elements with class `username` but only one nested inside the element with the class `login-form`.
-
-When using selectors to locate specific fields we recommend you avoid searching on:
-
-- Any `id`, `name`, `attribute`, `class` or `value` that is dynamically generated.
-- Generic class names, such as `column-10` and `dark-grey`.
-- XPath searches as they are less performant than other selector searches.
-- Unscoped searches, such as those beginning with `css:*` and `xpath://*`.
-
-### Bleeding-edge vulnerability definitions
-
-ZAP first creates rules in the `alpha` class. After a testing period with
-the community, they are promoted to `beta`. DAST uses `beta` definitions by
-default. To request `alpha` definitions, use the
-`DAST_INCLUDE_ALPHA_VULNERABILITIES` CI/CD variable as shown in the
-following configuration:
-
-```yaml
-include:
- template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
-
-variables:
- DAST_INCLUDE_ALPHA_VULNERABILITIES: "true"
-```
-
-### Cloning the project's repository
-
-The DAST job does not require the project's repository to be present when running, so by default
-[`GIT_STRATEGY`](../../../ci/runners/configure_runners.md#git-strategy) is set to `none`.
-
-## On-demand scans
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/218465) in GitLab 13.2.
-> - [Improved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/218465) in GitLab 13.3.
-> - The saved scans feature was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5100) in GitLab 13.9.
-> - The option to select a branch was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4847) in GitLab 13.10.
-> - DAST branch selection [feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/322672) in GitLab 13.11.
-> - Auditing for DAST profile management was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217872) in GitLab 14.1.
-
-An on-demand DAST scan runs outside the DevOps life cycle. Changes in your repository don't trigger
-the scan. You must either start it manually, or schedule it to run.
-
-An on-demand DAST scan:
-
-- Can run a specific combination of a [site profile](#site-profile) and a
- [scanner profile](#scanner-profile).
-- Is associated with your project's default branch.
-- Is saved on creation so it can be run later.
-
-### On-demand scan modes
-
-An on-demand scan can be run in active or passive mode:
-
-- _Passive mode_ is the default and runs a ZAP Baseline Scan.
-- _Active mode_ runs a ZAP Full Scan which is potentially harmful to the site being scanned. To
- minimize the risk of accidental damage, running an active scan requires a [validated site profile](#site-profile-validation).
-
-### View on-demand DAST scans

-### Run an on-demand DAST scan
-
-Prerequisites:
-
-- You must have permission to run an on-demand DAST scan against a protected branch. The default
- branch is automatically protected. For more information, read
- [Pipeline security on protected branches](../../../ci/pipelines/index.md#pipeline-security-on-protected-branches).
-- A [scanner profile](#create-a-scanner-profile).
-- A [site profile](#create-a-site-profile).
-- If you are running an active scan the site profile must have been [validated](#validate-a-site-profile).
-
-You can run an on-demand scan immediately, once at a scheduled date and time or at a specified
-frequency:
-
-- Every day
-- Every week
-- Every month
-- Every 3 months
-- Every 6 months
-- Every year
-
-To run an on-demand scan immediately, either:

-## Site profile
-
-A site profile defines the attributes and configuration details of the deployed application,
-website, or API to be scanned by DAST. A site profile can be referenced in `.gitlab-ci.yml` and
-on-demand scans.
-
-A site profile contains:
-
-- **Profile name**: A name you assign to the site to be scanned. While a site profile is referenced
- in either `.gitlab-ci.yml` or an on-demand scan, it **cannot** be renamed.
-- **Site type**: The type of target to be scanned, either website or API scan.
-- **Target URL**: The URL that DAST runs against.
-- **Excluded URLs**: A comma-separated list of URLs to exclude from the scan.
-- **Request headers**: A comma-separated list of HTTP request headers, including names and values. These headers are added to every request made by DAST.
-- **Authentication**:
- - **Authenticated URL**: The URL of the page containing the sign-in HTML form on the target website. The username and password are submitted with the login form to create an authenticated scan.
- - **Username**: The username used to authenticate to the website.
- - **Password**: The password used to authenticate to the website.
- - **Username form field**: The name of username field at the sign-in HTML form.
- - **Password form field**: The name of password field at the sign-in HTML form.
- - **Submit form field**: The `id` or `name` of the element that when selected submits the sign-in HTML form.
-
-When an API site type is selected, a [host override](#host-override) is used to ensure the API being scanned is on the same host as the target. This is done to reduce the risk of running an active scan against the wrong API.
-
-When configured, request headers and password fields are encrypted using [`aes-256-gcm`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard) before being stored in the database.
-This data can only be read and decrypted with a valid secrets file.
-
-### Site profile validation
-
-> - Site profile validation [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/233020) in GitLab 13.8.
-> - Meta tag validation [introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6460) in GitLab 14.2.
-
-Site profile validation reduces the risk of running an active scan against the wrong website. A site
-must be validated before an active scan can run against it. The site validation methods are as
-follows:
-
-- _Text file validation_ requires a text file be uploaded to the target site. The text file is
- allocated a name and content that is unique to the project. The validation process checks the
- file's content.
-- _Header validation_ requires the header `Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST` be added to the target site,
- with a value unique to the project. The validation process checks that the header is present, and
- checks its value.
-- _Meta tag validation_ requires the meta tag named `gitlab-dast-validation` be added to the target site,
- with a value unique to the project. Make sure it's added to the `<head>` section of the page. The validation process checks that the meta tag is present, and
- checks its value.
-
-All these methods are equivalent in functionality. Use whichever is feasible.
-
-In [GitLab 14.2 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/324990), site profile
-validation happens in a CI job using the [GitLab Runner](../../../ci/runners/index.md).

-have their validation status revoked.
-
-To revoke a site profile's validation status:
-
-1. From your project's home page, go to **Security & Compliance > Configuration**.
-1. In the **DAST Profiles** row select **Manage**.
-1. Beside the validated profile, select **Revoke validation**.
-
-The site profile's validation status is revoked.
-
-### Validated site profile headers
-
-The following are code samples of how you can provide the required site profile header in your
-application.
-
-#### Ruby on Rails example for on-demand scan
-
-Here's how you can add a custom header in a Ruby on Rails application:
-
-```ruby
-class DastWebsiteTargetController < ActionController::Base
- def dast_website_target
- response.headers['Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST'] = '0dd79c9a-7b29-4e26-a815-eaaf53fcab1c'
- head :ok
- end
-end
-```
-
-#### Django example for on-demand scan
-
-Here's how you can add a
-[custom header in Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/request-response/#setting-header-fields):
-
-```python
-class DastWebsiteTargetView(View):
- def head(self, *args, **kwargs):
- response = HttpResponse()
- response['Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST'] = '0dd79c9a-7b29-4e26-a815-eaaf53fcab1c'
-
- return response
-```
-
-#### Node (with Express) example for on-demand scan
-
-Here's how you can add a
-[custom header in Node (with Express)](https://expressjs.com/en/5x/api.html#res.append):
-
-```javascript
-app.get('/dast-website-target', function(req, res) {
- res.append('Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST', '0dd79c9a-7b29-4e26-a815-eaaf53fcab1c')
- res.send('Respond to DAST ping')
-})
-```

-## Scanner profile
-
-> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/222767) in GitLab 13.4.
-> - [Added](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/225804) in GitLab 13.5: scan mode, AJAX spider, debug messages.
-
-A scanner profile defines the configuration details of a security scanner. A scanner profile can be
-referenced in `.gitlab-ci.yml` and on-demand scans.
-
-A scanner profile contains:
-
-- **Profile name:** A name you give the scanner profile. For example, "Spider_15". While a scanner
- profile is referenced in either `.gitlab-ci.yml` or an on-demand scan, it **cannot** be renamed.
-- **Scan mode:** A passive scan monitors all HTTP messages (requests and responses) sent to the target. An active scan attacks the target to find potential vulnerabilities.
-- **Spider timeout:** The maximum number of minutes allowed for the spider to traverse the site.
-- **Target timeout:** The maximum number of seconds DAST waits for the site to be available before
- starting the scan.
-- **AJAX spider:** Run the AJAX spider, in addition to the traditional spider, to crawl the target site.
-- **Debug messages:** Include debug messages in the DAST console output.

-## Auditing
-
-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217872) in GitLab 14.1.
-
-The creation, updating, and deletion of DAST profiles, DAST scanner profiles,
-and DAST site profiles are included in the [audit log](../../../administration/audit_events.md).
-
-## Reports
-
-The DAST tool outputs a `gl-dast-report.json` report file containing details of the scan and its results.
-This file is included in the job's artifacts. JSON is the default format, but
-you can output the report in Markdown, HTML, and XML formats. To specify an alternative
-format, use a [CI/CD variable](#available-cicd-variables). You can also use a CI/CD variable
-to configure the job to output the `gl-dast-debug-auth-report.html` file which helps when debugging
-authentication issues.
-
-For details of the report's schema, see the [schema for DAST reports](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/security-report-schemas/-/blob/master/dist/dast-report-format.json). Example reports can be found in the
-[DAST repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/-/tree/main/test/end-to-end/expect).
-
-WARNING:
-The JSON report artifacts are not a public API of DAST and their format is expected to change in the
-future.
-
-## Optimizing DAST
-
-By default, DAST downloads all artifacts defined by previous jobs in the pipeline. If
-your DAST job does not rely on `environment_url.txt` to define the URL under test or any other files created
-in previous jobs, we recommend you don't download artifacts. To avoid downloading
-artifacts, add the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
-
-```yaml
-dast:
- dependencies: []
-```

+# DAST proxy-based analyzer **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+The DAST proxy-based analyzer can be added to your [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/index.md) pipeline.
+This helps you discover vulnerabilities in web applications that do not use JavaScript heavily. For applications that do,
+please see the [DAST browser-based analyzer](browser_based.md).
+
+WARNING:
+Do not run DAST scans against a production server. Not only can it perform *any* function that
+a user can, such as clicking buttons or submitting forms, but it may also trigger bugs, leading to modification or loss of production data. Only run DAST scans against a test server.
+
+The analyzer uses the [OWASP Zed Attack Proxy](https://www.zaproxy.org/) (ZAP) to scan in two different ways:
+
+- Passive scan only (default). DAST executes
+ [ZAP's Baseline Scan](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/docker/baseline-scan/) and doesn't
+ actively attack your application.
+- Passive and active (or full) scan. DAST can be [configured](#full-scan) to also perform an active scan
+ to attack your application and produce a more extensive security report. It can be very
+ useful when combined with [Review Apps](../../../ci/review_apps/index.md).
+
+## DAST run options
+
+You can use DAST to examine your web application:
+
+- Automatically, initiated by a merge request.
+- Manually, initiated on demand.
+
+Some of the differences between these run options:
+
+| Automatic scan | On-demand scan |
+|:-----------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------|
+| DAST scan is initiated by a merge request. | DAST scan is initiated manually, outside the DevOps life cycle. |
+| CI/CD variables are sourced from `.gitlab-ci.yml`. | CI/CD variables are provided in the UI. |
+| All [DAST CI/CD variables](#available-cicd-variables) available. | Subset of [DAST CI/CD variables](#available-cicd-variables) available. |
+| `DAST.gitlab-ci.yml` template. | `DAST-On-Demand-Scan.gitlab-ci.yml` template. |
+
+### Enable automatic DAST run
+
+To enable DAST to run automatically, either:
+
+- Enable [Auto DAST](../../../topics/autodevops/stages.md#auto-dast) (provided
+ by [Auto DevOps](../../../topics/autodevops/index.md)).
+- [Include the DAST template](#include-the-dast-template) in your existing
+ `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
+- [Configure DAST using the UI](#configure-dast-using-the-ui).
+
+#### Include the DAST template
+
+> - This template was [updated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/62597) to DAST_VERSION: 2 in GitLab 14.0.
+> - This template was [updated](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/87183) to DAST_VERSION: 3 in GitLab 15.0.
+
+If you want to manually add DAST to your application, the DAST job is defined
+in a CI/CD template file. Updates to the template are provided with GitLab
+upgrades, allowing you to benefit from any improvements and additions.
+
+To include the DAST template:
+
+1. Select the CI/CD template you want to use:
+
+ - [`DAST.gitlab-ci.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/DAST.gitlab-ci.yml):
+ Stable version of the DAST CI/CD template.
+ - [`DAST.latest.gitlab-ci.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/DAST.latest.gitlab-ci.yml):
+ Latest version of the DAST template. ([Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/254325)
+ in GitLab 13.8).
+
+ WARNING:
+ The latest version of the template may include breaking changes. Use the
+ stable template unless you need a feature provided only in the latest template.
+
+ For more information about template versioning, see the
+ [CI/CD documentation](../../../development/cicd/templates.md#latest-version).
+
+1. Add a `dast` stage to your GitLab CI stages configuration:
+
+ ```yaml
+ stages:
+ - dast
+ ```
+
+1. Add the template to GitLab, based on your version of GitLab:
+
+ - In GitLab 11.9 and later, [include](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#includetemplate)
+ the template by adding the following to your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file:
+
+ ```yaml
+ include:
+ - template: <template_file.yml>
+
+ variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: https://example.com
+ ```
+
+ - In GitLab 11.8 and earlier, add the contents of the template to your
+ `.gitlab_ci.yml` file.
+
+1. Define the URL to be scanned by DAST by using one of these methods:
+
+ - Set the `DAST_WEBSITE` [CI/CD variable](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#variables).
+ If set, this value takes precedence.
+
+ - Add the URL in an `environment_url.txt` file at the root of your project. This is
+ useful for testing in dynamic environments. To run DAST against an application
+ dynamically created during a GitLab CI/CD pipeline, a job that runs prior to
+ the DAST scan must persist the application's domain in an `environment_url.txt`
+ file. DAST automatically parses the `environment_url.txt` file to find its
+ scan target.
+
+ For example, in a job that runs prior to DAST, you could include code that
+ looks similar to:
+
+ ```yaml
+ script:
+ - echo http://${CI_PROJECT_ID}-${CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG}.domain.com > environment_url.txt
+ artifacts:
+ paths: [environment_url.txt]
+ when: always
+ ```
+
+ You can see an example of this in our
+ [Auto DevOps CI YAML](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/Deploy.gitlab-ci.yml)
+ file.
+
+The included template creates a `dast` job in your CI/CD pipeline and scans
+your project's running application for possible vulnerabilities.
+
+The results are saved as a
+[DAST report artifact](../../../ci/yaml/artifacts_reports.md#artifactsreportsdast)
+that you can later download and analyze. Due to implementation limitations, we
+always take the latest DAST artifact available. Behind the scenes, the
+[GitLab DAST Docker image](https://gitlab.com/security-products/dast)
+is used to run the tests on the specified URL and scan it for possible
+vulnerabilities.
+
+By default, the DAST template uses the latest major version of the DAST Docker
+image. Using the `DAST_VERSION` variable, you can choose how DAST updates:
+
+- Automatically update DAST with new features and fixes by pinning to a major
+ version (such as `1`).
+- Only update fixes by pinning to a minor version (such as `1.6`).
+- Prevent all updates by pinning to a specific version (such as `1.6.4`).
+
+Find the latest DAST versions on the [Releases](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/-/releases)
+page.
+
+#### Configure DAST using the UI

+
+### API scan
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/10928) in GitLab 12.10.
+> - A new DAST API scanning engine was introduced in GitLab 13.10.
+
+Using an API specification as a scan's target is a useful way to seed URLs for scanning an API.
+Vulnerability rules in an API scan are different than those in a normal website scan.
+
+A new DAST API scanning engine is available in GitLab 13.12 and later. For more details, see [DAST API scanning engine](../dast_api). The new scanning engine supports REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and generic APIs using forms, XML, and JSON. Testing can be performed using OpenAPI, Postman Collections, and HTTP Archive (HAR) documents.
+
+The target API instance's base URL is provided by using the `DAST_API_TARGET_URL` variable or an `environment_url.txt` file.
+
+#### Specification format
+
+API scans support OpenAPI V2 and OpenAPI V3 specifications. You can define these specifications using `JSON` or `YAML`.
+
+#### Import API specification from a URL
+
+If your API specification is accessible at a URL, you can pass that URL in directly as the target.
+The specification does not have to be hosted on the same host as the API being tested.
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: http://my.api/api-specification.yml
+```
+
+#### Import API specification from a file
+
+If your API specification file is in your repository, you can provide its filename as the target.
+
+```yaml
+dast:
+ variables:
+ GIT_STRATEGY: fetch
+ DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: api-specification.yml
+```
+
+#### Full API scan
+
+API scans support full scanning, which can be enabled by using the `DAST_FULL_SCAN_ENABLED`
+CI/CD variable. Domain validation is not supported for full API scans.
+
+#### Host override
+
+Specifications often define a host, which contains a domain name and a port. The
+host referenced may be different than the host of the API's review instance.
+This can cause incorrect URLs to be imported, or a scan on an incorrect host.
+Use the `DAST_API_HOST_OVERRIDE` CI/CD variable to override these values.
+
+WARNING:
+When using the API host override feature, you cannot use the `$DAST_WEBSITE` variable to override the hostname.
+A host override is _only_ supported when importing the API specification from a URL. Attempts to override the
+host throw an error when the API specification is imported from a file. This is due to a limitation in the
+ZAP OpenAPI extension.
+
+For example, with a OpenAPI V3 specification containing:
+
+```yaml
+servers:
+ - url: https://api.host.com
+```
+
+If the test version of the API is running at `https://api-test.host.com`, then
+the following DAST configuration can be used:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: http://api-test.host.com/api-specification.yml
+ DAST_API_HOST_OVERRIDE: api-test.host.com
+```
+
+#### Authentication using headers
+
+Tokens in request headers are often used as a way to authenticate API requests.
+You can achieve this by using the `DAST_REQUEST_HEADERS` CI/CD variable.
+Headers are applied to every request DAST makes.
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ DAST_API_SPECIFICATION: http://api-test.api.com/api-specification.yml
+ DAST_REQUEST_HEADERS: "Authorization: Bearer my.token"
+```
+
+### URL scan
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214120) in GitLab 13.4.
+> - [Improved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/273141) in GitLab 13.11.
+
+A URL scan allows you to specify which parts of a website are scanned by DAST.
+
+#### Define the URLs to scan
+
+URLs to scan can be specified by either of the following methods:
+
+- Use `DAST_PATHS_FILE` CI/CD variable to specify the name of a file containing the paths.
+- Use `DAST_PATHS` variable to list the paths.
+
+##### Use `DAST_PATHS_FILE` CI/CD variable
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/258825) in GitLab 13.6.
+
+To define the URLs to scan in a file, create a plain text file with one path per line.
+
+```plaintext
+page1.html
+/page2.html
+category/shoes/page1.html
+```
+
+To scan the URLs in that file, set the CI/CD variable `DAST_PATHS_FILE` to the path of that file.
+The file can be checked into the project repository or generated as an artifact by a job that
+runs before DAST.
+
+By default, DAST scans do not clone the project repository. Instruct the DAST job to clone
+the project by setting `GIT_STRATEGY` to fetch. Give a file path relative to `CI_PROJECT_DIR` to `DAST_PATHS_FILE`.
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ GIT_STRATEGY: fetch
+ DAST_PATHS_FILE: url_file.txt # url_file.txt lives in the root directory of the project
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+```
+
+##### Use `DAST_PATHS` CI/CD variable
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/214120) in GitLab 13.4.
+
+To specify the paths to scan in a CI/CD variable, add a comma-separated list of the paths to the `DAST_PATHS`
+variable. Note that you can only scan paths of a single host.
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ DAST_PATHS: "/page1.html,/category1/page1.html,/page3.html"
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+```
+
+When using `DAST_PATHS` and `DAST_PATHS_FILE`, note the following:
+
+- `DAST_WEBSITE` must be defined when using either `DAST_PATHS_FILE` or `DAST_PATHS`. The paths listed in either use `DAST_WEBSITE` to build the URLs to scan
+- Spidering is disabled when `DAST_PATHS` or `DAST_PATHS_FILE` are defined
+- `DAST_PATHS_FILE` and `DAST_PATHS` cannot be used together
+- The `DAST_PATHS` variable has a limit of about 130kb. If you have a list or paths
+ greater than this, use `DAST_PATHS_FILE`.
+
+#### Full Scan
+
+To perform a [full scan](#full-scan) on the listed paths, use the `DAST_FULL_SCAN_ENABLED` CI/CD variable.
+
+## Customize DAST settings
+
+You can customize the behavior of DAST using both CI/CD variables and command-line options. Use of CI/CD
+variables overrides the values contained in the DAST template.
+
+### Customize DAST using CI/CD variables
+
+WARNING:
+Beginning in GitLab 13.0, the use of [`only` and `except`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#only--except)
+is no longer supported. You must use [`rules`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#rules) instead.
+
+The DAST settings can be changed through CI/CD variables by using the
+[`variables`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#variables) parameter in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. For details of
+all DAST CI/CD variables, read [Available CI/CD variables](#available-cicd-variables).
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: https://example.com
+ DAST_SPIDER_MINS: 120
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+```
+
+Because the template is [evaluated before](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#include) the pipeline
+configuration, the last mention of the variable takes precedence.
+
+#### Enable or disable rules
+
+A complete list of the rules that DAST uses to scan for vulnerabilities can be
+found in the [ZAP documentation](https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/alerts/).
+
+`DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` disables the rules with the given IDs.
+
+`DAST_ONLY_INCLUDE_RULES` restricts the set of rules used in the scan to
+those with the given IDs.
+
+`DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` and `DAST_ONLY_INCLUDE_RULES` are mutually exclusive and a
+DAST scan with both configured exits with an error.
+
+By default, several rules are disabled because they either take a long time to
+run or frequently generate false positives. The complete list of disabled rules
+can be found in [`exclude_rules.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/-/blob/main/src/config/exclude_rules.yml).
+
+The lists for `DAST_EXCLUDE_RULES` and `DAST_ONLY_INCLUDE_RULES` **must** be enclosed in double
+quotes (`"`), otherwise they are interpreted as numeric values.
+
+#### Hide sensitive information
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36332) in GitLab 13.1.
+
+HTTP request and response headers may contain sensitive information, including cookies and
+authorization credentials. By default, the following headers are masked:
+
+- `Authorization`.
+- `Proxy-Authorization`.
+- `Set-Cookie` (values only).
+- `Cookie` (values only).
+
+Using the [`DAST_MASK_HTTP_HEADERS` CI/CD variable](#available-cicd-variables), you can list the
+headers whose values you want masked. For details on how to mask headers, see
+[Customizing the DAST settings](#customize-dast-settings).
+
+#### Use Mutual TLS
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/299596) in GitLab 14.8.
+
+Mutual TLS allows a target application server to verify that requests are from a known source. Browser-based scans do not support Mutual TLS.
+
+**Requirements**
+
+- Base64-encoded PKCS12 certificate
+- Password of the base64-encoded PKCS12 certificate
+
+To enable Mutual TLS:
+
+1. If the PKCS12 certificate is not already base64-encoded, convert it to base64 encoding. For security reasons, we recommend encoding the certificate locally, **not** using a web-hosted conversion service. For example, to encode the certificate on either macOS or Linux:
+
+ ```shell
+ base64 <path-to-pkcs12-certificate-file>
+ ```
+
+1. Create a [masked variable](../../../ci/variables/index.md) named `DAST_PKCS12_CERTIFICATE_BASE64` and store the base64-encoded PKCS12 certificate's value in that variable.
+1. Create a masked variable `DAST_PKCS12_PASSWORD` and store the PKCS12 certificate's password in that variable.
+
+#### Available CI/CD variables
+
+These CI/CD variables are specific to DAST. They can be used to customize the behavior of DAST to your requirements.
+
+WARNING:
+All customization of GitLab security scanning tools should be tested in a merge request before
+merging these changes to the default branch. Failure to do so can give unexpected results,
+including a large number of false positives.

+
+1. Available to an on-demand DAST scan.
+1. Used for authentication.
+
+### Customize DAST using command-line options
+
+Not all DAST configuration is available via CI/CD variables. To find out all
+possible options, run the following configuration.
+Available command-line options are printed to the job log:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+dast:
+ script:
+ - /analyze --help
+```
+
+You must then overwrite the `script` command to pass in the appropriate
+argument. For example, vulnerability definitions in alpha can be included with
+`-a`. The following configuration includes those definitions:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+dast:
+ script:
+ - export DAST_WEBSITE=${DAST_WEBSITE:-$(cat environment_url.txt)}
+ - /analyze -a -t $DAST_WEBSITE
+```
+
+### Custom ZAProxy configuration
+
+The ZAProxy server contains many [useful configurable values](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36437#note_245801885).
+Many key/values for `-config` remain undocumented, but there is an untested list of
+[possible keys](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/36437#note_244981023).
+Note that these options are not supported by DAST, and may break the DAST scan
+when used. An example of how to rewrite the Authorization header value with `TOKEN` follows:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ DAST_ZAP_CLI_OPTIONS: "-config replacer.full_list(0).description=auth -config replacer.full_list(0).enabled=true -config replacer.full_list(0).matchtype=REQ_HEADER -config replacer.full_list(0).matchstr=Authorization -config replacer.full_list(0).regex=false -config replacer.full_list(0).replacement=TOKEN"
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+NOTE:
+We highly recommend you configure the scanner to authenticate to the application. If you don't, it cannot check most of the application for security risks, as most
+of your application is likely not accessible without authentication. We also recommend
+you periodically confirm the scanner's authentication is still working, as this tends to break over
+time due to authentication changes to the application.
+
+Create masked CI/CD variables to pass the credentials that DAST uses.
+To create masked variables for the username and password, see [Create a custom variable in the UI](../../../ci/variables/index.md#custom-cicd-variables).
+The key of the username variable must be `DAST_USERNAME`,
+and the key of the password variable must be `DAST_PASSWORD`.
+
+After DAST has authenticated with the application, all cookies are collected from the web browser.
+For each cookie a matching session token is created for use by ZAP. This ensures ZAP is recognized
+by the application as correctly authenticated.
+
+Authentication supports single form logins, multi-step login forms, and authenticating to URLs outside of the configured target URL.
+
+WARNING:
+**Never** run an authenticated scan against a production server. When an authenticated
+scan is run, it may perform *any* function that the authenticated user can. This
+includes actions like modifying and deleting data, submitting forms, and following links.
+Only run an authenticated scan against a test server.
+
+### SSO
+
+DAST can authenticate to websites making use of SSO, with the following restrictions:
+
+- DAST cannot bypass a CAPTCHA if the authentication flow includes one.
+- DAST cannot handle multi-factor authentication like one-time passwords (OTP) by using SMS or authenticator apps.
+- DAST must get a cookie, or a local or session storage, with a sufficiently random value.
+
+The [authentication debug output](#configure-the-authentication-debug-output) can be helpful for troubleshooting SSO authentication
+with DAST.
+
+### Log in using automatic detection of the login form
+
+By providing a `DAST_USERNAME`, `DAST_PASSWORD`, and `DAST_AUTH_URL`, DAST attempts to authenticate to the
+target application by locating the login form based on a determination about whether or not the form contains username or password fields.
+
+Automatic detection is "best-effort", and depending on the application being scanned may provide either a resilient login experience or one that fails to authenticate the user.
+
+Login process:
+
+1. The `DAST_AUTH_URL` is loaded into the browser, and any forms on the page are located.
+ 1. If a form contains a username and password field, `DAST_USERNAME` and `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted into the respective fields, the form submit button is selected and the user is logged in.
+ 1. If a form contains only a username field, it is assumed that the login form is multi-step.
+ 1. The `DAST_USERNAME` is inputted into the username field and the form submit button is selected.
+ 1. The subsequent pages loads where it is expected that a form exists and contains a password field. If found, `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted, form submit button is selected and the user is logged in.
+
+### Log in using explicit selection of the login form
+
+By providing a `DAST_USERNAME_FIELD`, `DAST_PASSWORD_FIELD`, and `DAST_SUBMIT_FIELD`, in addition to the fields required for automatic login,
+DAST attempts to authenticate to the target application by locating the login form based on the selectors provided.
+Most applications benefit from this approach to authentication.
+
+Login process:
+
+1. The `DAST_AUTH_URL` is loaded into the browser, and any forms on the page are located.
+ 1. If the `DAST_FIRST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is not defined, then `DAST_USERNAME` is inputted into `DAST_USERNAME_FIELD`, `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted into `DAST_PASSWORD_FIELD`, `DAST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is selected and the user is logged in.
+ 1. If the `DAST_FIRST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is defined, then it is assumed that the login form is multi-step.
+ 1. The `DAST_USERNAME` is inputted into the `DAST_USERNAME_FIELD` field and the `DAST_FIRST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is selected.
+ 1. The subsequent pages loads where the `DAST_PASSWORD` is inputted into the `DAST_PASSWORD_FIELD` field, the `DAST_SUBMIT_FIELD` is selected and the user is logged in.
+
+### Verifying successful login
+
+Once the login form has been submitted, DAST determines if the login was successful. Unsuccessful attempts at authentication cause the scan to halt.
+
+Following the submission of the login form, authentication is determined to be unsuccessful when:
+
+- A `400` or `500` series HTTP response status code is returned.
+- A new cookie/browser storage value determined to be sufficiently random has not been set.
+
+In addition to these checks, the user can configure their own verification checks.
+Each of the following checks can be used in conjunction with one another, if none are configured by default the presence of a login form is checked.
+
+#### Verifying based on the URL
+
+When `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_URL` is configured, the URL displayed in the browser tab post login form submission is directly compared to the URL in the CI/CD variable.
+If these are not exactly the same, authentication is deemed to be unsuccessful.
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+dast:
+ variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+ ...
+ DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_URL: "https://example.com/user/welcome"
+```
+
+#### Verify based on presence of an element
+
+When `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_SELECTOR` is configured, the page displayed in the browser tab is searched for an element described by the selector in the CI/CD variable.
+If no element is found, authentication is deemed to be unsuccessful.
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+dast:
+ variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+ ...
+ DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_SELECTOR: "css:.welcome-user"
+```
+
+#### Verify based on presence of a login form
+
+When `DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_LOGIN_FORM` is configured, the page displayed in the browser tab is searched for a form that is detected to be a login form.
+If any such form is found, authentication is deemed to be unsuccessful.
+
+For example:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+dast:
+ variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+ ...
+ DAST_AUTH_VERIFICATION_LOGIN_FORM: "true"
+```
+
+### View the login form
+
+Many web applications show the user the login form in a pop-up (modal) window.
+For these applications, navigating to the form requires both:
+
+- A starting URL.
+- A list of elements to select to display the modal window.
+
+When `DAST_BROWSER_PATH_TO_LOGIN_FORM` is present, like in this example:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+dast:
+ variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: "https://my.site.com"
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+ ...
+ DAST_AUTH_URL: "https://my.site.com/admin"
+ DAST_BROWSER_PATH_TO_LOGIN_FORM: "css:.navigation-menu,css:.login-menu-item"
+```
+
+DAST performs these actions:
+
+1. Load the `DAST_AUTH_URL` page, such as `https://my.site.com/admin`.
+1. After the page loads, DAST selects elements found by the selectors described
+ in `DAST_BROWSER_PATH_TO_LOGIN_FORM`. This example opens the navigation menu
+ and selects the login menu, to display the login modal window.
+1. To continue the authentication process, DAST fills in the username and password
+ on the login form.
+
+### Configure the authentication debug output
+
+It is often difficult to understand the cause of an authentication failure when running DAST in a CI/CD pipeline.
+To assist users in debugging authentication issues, a debug report can be generated and saved as a job artifact.
+This HTML report contains all steps made during the login process, along with HTTP requests and responses, the Document Object Model (DOM) and screenshots.
+
+![dast-auth-report](img/dast_auth_report.jpg)
+
+An example configuration where the authentication debug report is exported may look like the following:
+
+```yaml
+dast:
+ variables:
+ DAST_WEBSITE: "https://example.com"
+ DAST_BROWSER_SCAN: "true" # use the browser-based GitLab DAST crawler
+ ...
+ DAST_AUTH_REPORT: "true"
+ artifacts:
+ paths: [gl-dast-debug-auth-report.html]
+ when: always
+```
+
+### Selectors
+
+Selectors are used by CI/CD variables to specify the location of an element displayed on a page in a browser.
+Selectors have the format `type`:`search string`. The crawler searches for the selector using the search string based on the type.
+
+| Selector type | Example | Description |
+| ------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------- |
+| `css` | `css:.password-field` | Searches for a HTML element having the supplied CSS selector. Selectors should be as specific as possible for performance reasons. |
+| `id` | `id:element` | Searches for an HTML element with the provided element ID. |
+| `name` | `name:element` | Searches for an HTML element with the provided element name. |
+| `xpath` | `xpath://input[@id="my-button"]/a` | Searches for a HTML element with the provided XPath. Note that XPath searches are expected to be less performant than other searches. |
+| None provided | `a.click-me` | Defaults to searching using a CSS selector. |
+
+#### Find selectors with Google Chrome
+
+Chrome DevTools element selector tool is an effective way to find a selector.
+
+1. Open Chrome and navigate to the page where you would like to find a selector, for example, the login page for your site.
+1. Open the `Elements` tab in Chrome DevTools with the keyboard shortcut `Command + Shift + c` in macOS or `Ctrl + Shift + c` in Windows.
+1. Select the `Select an element in the page to select it` tool.
+ ![search-elements](img/dast_auth_browser_scan_search_elements.png)
+1. Select the field on your page that you would like to know the selector for.
+1. Once the tool is active, highlight a field you wish to view the details of.
+ ![highlight](img/dast_auth_browser_scan_highlight.png)
+1. Once highlighted, you can see the element's details, including attributes that would make a good candidate for a selector.
+
+In this example, the `id="user_login"` appears to be a good candidate. You can use this as a selector as the DAST username field by setting
+`DAST_USERNAME_FIELD: "id:user_login"`.
+
+#### Choose the right selector
+
+Judicious choice of selector leads to a scan that is resilient to the application changing.
+
+In order of preference, it is recommended to choose as selectors:
+
+- `id` fields. These are generally unique on a page, and rarely change.
+- `name` fields. These are generally unique on a page, and rarely change.
+- `class` values specific to the field, such as the selector `"css:.username"` for the `username` class on the username field.
+- Presence of field specific data attributes, such as the selector, `"css:[data-username]"` when the `data-username` field has any value on the username field.
+- Multiple `class` hierarchy values, such as the selector `"css:.login-form .username"` when there are multiple elements with class `username` but only one nested inside the element with the class `login-form`.
+
+When using selectors to locate specific fields we recommend you avoid searching on:
+
+- Any `id`, `name`, `attribute`, `class` or `value` that is dynamically generated.
+- Generic class names, such as `column-10` and `dark-grey`.
+- XPath searches as they are less performant than other selector searches.
+- Unscoped searches, such as those beginning with `css:*` and `xpath://*`.
+
+### Bleeding-edge vulnerability definitions
+
+ZAP first creates rules in the `alpha` class. After a testing period with
+the community, they are promoted to `beta`. DAST uses `beta` definitions by
+default. To request `alpha` definitions, use the
+`DAST_INCLUDE_ALPHA_VULNERABILITIES` CI/CD variable as shown in the
+following configuration:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ template: DAST.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+variables:
+ DAST_INCLUDE_ALPHA_VULNERABILITIES: "true"
+```
+
+### Cloning the project's repository
+
+The DAST job does not require the project's repository to be present when running, so by default
+[`GIT_STRATEGY`](../../../ci/runners/configure_runners.md#git-strategy) is set to `none`.
+
+## On-demand scans
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/218465) in GitLab 13.2.
+> - [Improved](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/218465) in GitLab 13.3.
+> - The saved scans feature was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5100) in GitLab 13.9.
+> - The option to select a branch was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4847) in GitLab 13.10.
+> - DAST branch selection [feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/322672) in GitLab 13.11.
+> - Auditing for DAST profile management was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217872) in GitLab 14.1.
+
+An on-demand DAST scan runs outside the DevOps life cycle. Changes in your repository don't trigger
+the scan. You must either start it manually, or schedule it to run.
+
+An on-demand DAST scan:
+
+- Can run a specific combination of a [site profile](#site-profile) and a
+ [scanner profile](#scanner-profile).
+- Is associated with your project's default branch.
+- Is saved on creation so it can be run later.
+
+### On-demand scan modes
+
+An on-demand scan can be run in active or passive mode:
+
+- _Passive mode_ is the default and runs a ZAP Baseline Scan.
+- _Active mode_ runs a ZAP Full Scan which is potentially harmful to the site being scanned. To
+ minimize the risk of accidental damage, running an active scan requires a [validated site profile](#site-profile-validation).
+
+### View on-demand DAST scans
+
+To view running completed and scheduled on-demand DAST scans for a project, go to
+**Security & Compliance > On-demand Scans** in the left sidebar.

+- To view both running and completed scans, select **All**.
+- To view running scans only, select **Running**.
+- To view finished scans, select **Finished**. A finished scan is a scan that either succeeded,
+ failed, or was canceled.
+- To view scheduled scans, select **Scheduled**. It shows on-demand scans that have a schedule
+ set up. Those are _not_ included in the **All** tab.
+- To view saved on-demand scan profiles, select **Scan library**.
+ Those are _not_ included in the **All** tab.

+### Run an on-demand DAST scan
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- You must have permission to run an on-demand DAST scan against a protected branch. The default
+ branch is automatically protected. For more information, read
+ [Pipeline security on protected branches](../../../ci/pipelines/index.md#pipeline-security-on-protected-branches).
+- A [scanner profile](#create-a-scanner-profile).
+- A [site profile](#create-a-site-profile).
+- If you are running an active scan the site profile must have been [validated](#validate-a-site-profile).
+
+You can run an on-demand scan immediately, once at a scheduled date and time or at a specified
+frequency:

+
+A site profile defines the attributes and configuration details of the deployed application,
+website, or API to be scanned by DAST. A site profile can be referenced in `.gitlab-ci.yml` and
+on-demand scans.
+
+A site profile contains:
+
+- **Profile name**: A name you assign to the site to be scanned. While a site profile is referenced
+ in either `.gitlab-ci.yml` or an on-demand scan, it **cannot** be renamed.
+- **Site type**: The type of target to be scanned, either website or API scan.
+- **Target URL**: The URL that DAST runs against.
+- **Excluded URLs**: A comma-separated list of URLs to exclude from the scan.
+- **Request headers**: A comma-separated list of HTTP request headers, including names and values. These headers are added to every request made by DAST.
+- **Authentication**:
+ - **Authenticated URL**: The URL of the page containing the sign-in HTML form on the target website. The username and password are submitted with the login form to create an authenticated scan.
+ - **Username**: The username used to authenticate to the website.
+ - **Password**: The password used to authenticate to the website.
+ - **Username form field**: The name of username field at the sign-in HTML form.
+ - **Password form field**: The name of password field at the sign-in HTML form.
+ - **Submit form field**: The `id` or `name` of the element that when selected submits the sign-in HTML form.
+
+- **Scan method**: A type of method to perform API testing. The supported methods are OpenAPI, Postman Collections, and HTTP Archive (HAR) documents.
+- **File URL**: The URL of the OpenAPI, Postman Collection, or HTTP Archive file.
+
+When an API site type is selected, a [host override](#host-override) is used to ensure the API being scanned is on the same host as the target. This is done to reduce the risk of running an active scan against the wrong API.
+
+When configured, request headers and password fields are encrypted using [`aes-256-gcm`](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard) before being stored in the database.
+This data can only be read and decrypted with a valid secrets file.
+
+### Site profile validation
+
+> - Site profile validation [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/233020) in GitLab 13.8.
+> - Meta tag validation [introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/6460) in GitLab 14.2.
+
+Site profile validation reduces the risk of running an active scan against the wrong website. A site
+must be validated before an active scan can run against it. The site validation methods are as
+follows:
+
+- _Text file validation_ requires a text file be uploaded to the target site. The text file is
+ allocated a name and content that is unique to the project. The validation process checks the
+ file's content.
+- _Header validation_ requires the header `Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST` be added to the target site,
+ with a value unique to the project. The validation process checks that the header is present, and
+ checks its value.
+- _Meta tag validation_ requires the meta tag named `gitlab-dast-validation` be added to the target site,
+ with a value unique to the project. Make sure it's added to the `<head>` section of the page. The validation process checks that the meta tag is present, and
+ checks its value.
+
+All these methods are equivalent in functionality. Use whichever is feasible.
+
+In [GitLab 14.2 and later](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/324990), site profile
+validation happens in a CI job using the [GitLab Runner](../../../ci/runners/index.md).
+

+1. In the profile's row, select **Retry validation**.
+
+### Revoke a site profile's validation status
+
+WARNING:
+When a site profile's validation status is revoked, all site profiles that share the same URL also
+have their validation status revoked.
+
+To revoke a site profile's validation status:
+
+1. From your project's home page, go to **Security & Compliance > Configuration**.
+1. In the **DAST Profiles** row select **Manage**.
+1. Beside the validated profile, select **Revoke validation**.
+
+The site profile's validation status is revoked.
+
+### Validated site profile headers
+
+The following are code samples of how you can provide the required site profile header in your
+application.
+
+#### Ruby on Rails example for on-demand scan
+
+Here's how you can add a custom header in a Ruby on Rails application:
+
+```ruby
+class DastWebsiteTargetController < ActionController::Base
+ def dast_website_target
+ response.headers['Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST'] = '0dd79c9a-7b29-4e26-a815-eaaf53fcab1c'
+ head :ok
+ end
+end
+```
+
+#### Django example for on-demand scan
+
+Here's how you can add a
+[custom header in Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/request-response/#setting-header-fields):
+
+```python
+class DastWebsiteTargetView(View):
+ def head(self, *args, **kwargs):
+ response = HttpResponse()
+ response['Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST'] = '0dd79c9a-7b29-4e26-a815-eaaf53fcab1c'
+
+ return response
+```
+
+#### Node (with Express) example for on-demand scan
+
+Here's how you can add a
+[custom header in Node (with Express)](https://expressjs.com/en/5x/api.html#res.append):
+
+```javascript
+app.get('/dast-website-target', function(req, res) {
+ res.append('Gitlab-On-Demand-DAST', '0dd79c9a-7b29-4e26-a815-eaaf53fcab1c')
+ res.send('Respond to DAST ping')
+})
+```

+## Scanner profile
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/222767) in GitLab 13.4.
+> - [Added](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/225804) in GitLab 13.5: scan mode, AJAX spider, debug messages.
+
+A scanner profile defines the configuration details of a security scanner. A scanner profile can be
+referenced in `.gitlab-ci.yml` and on-demand scans.
+
+A scanner profile contains:
+
+- **Profile name:** A name you give the scanner profile. For example, "Spider_15". While a scanner
+ profile is referenced in either `.gitlab-ci.yml` or an on-demand scan, it **cannot** be renamed.
+- **Scan mode:** A passive scan monitors all HTTP messages (requests and responses) sent to the target. An active scan attacks the target to find potential vulnerabilities.
+- **Spider timeout:** The maximum number of minutes allowed for the spider to traverse the site.
+- **Target timeout:** The maximum number of seconds DAST waits for the site to be available before
+ starting the scan.
+- **AJAX spider:** Run the AJAX spider, in addition to the traditional spider, to crawl the target site.
+- **Debug messages:** Include debug messages in the DAST console output.
+

+## Auditing
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217872) in GitLab 14.1.
+
+The creation, updating, and deletion of DAST profiles, DAST scanner profiles,
+and DAST site profiles are included in the [audit log](../../../administration/audit_events.md).
+
+## Reports
+
+The DAST tool outputs a `gl-dast-report.json` report file containing details of the scan and its results.
+This file is included in the job's artifacts. JSON is the default format, but
+you can output the report in Markdown, HTML, and XML formats. To specify an alternative
+format, use a [CI/CD variable](#available-cicd-variables). You can also use a CI/CD variable
+to configure the job to output the `gl-dast-debug-auth-report.html` file which helps when debugging
+authentication issues.
+
+For details of the report's schema, see the [schema for DAST reports](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/security-report-schemas/-/blob/master/dist/dast-report-format.json). Example reports can be found in the
+[DAST repository](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/security-products/dast/-/tree/main/test/end-to-end/expect).
+
+WARNING:
+The JSON report artifacts are not a public API of DAST and their format is expected to change in the
+future.

+## Performance tuning and testing speed
+
+Security tools that perform dynamic analysis testing, such as DAST API, perform testing by sending requests to an instance of your running application. The requests are engineered to test for specific vulnerabilities that might exist in your application. The speed of a dynamic analysis test depends on the following:
+
+- How many requests per second can be sent to your application by our tooling
+- How fast your application responds to requests
+- How many requests must be sent to test the application
+ - How many operations your API is comprised of
+ - How many fields are in each operation (think JSON bodies, headers, query string, cookies, etc.)
+
+If the DAST API testing job still takes longer than expected reach after following the advice in this performance guide, reach out to support for further assistance.
+
+### Diagnosing performance issues
+
+The first step to resolving performance issues is to understand what is contributing to the slower-than-expected testing time. Some common issues we see are:
+
+- DAST API is running on a slow or single-CPU GitLab Runner (GitLab Shared Runners are single-CPU)
+- The application deployed to a slow/single-CPU instance and is not able to keep up with the testing load
+- The application contains a slow operation that impacts the overall test speed (> 1/2 second)
+- The application contains an operation that returns a large amount of data (> 500K+)
+- The application contains a large number of operations (> 40)
+
+#### The application contains a slow operation that impacts the overall test speed (> 1/2 second)
+
+The DAST API job output contains helpful information about how fast we are testing, how fast each operation being tested responds, and summary information. Let's take a look at some sample output to see how it can be used in tracking down performance issues:
+
+```shell
+API Security: Loaded 10 operations from: assets/har-large-response/large_responses.har
+API Security:
+API Security: Testing operation [1/10]: 'GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json'.
+API Security: - Parameters: (Headers: 4, Query: 0, Body: 0)
+API Security: - Request body size: 0 Bytes (0 bytes)
+API Security:
+API Security: Finished testing operation 'GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json'.
+API Security: - Excluded Parameters: (Headers: 0, Query: 0, Body: 0)
+API Security: - Performed 767 requests
+API Security: - Average response body size: 130 MB
+API Security: - Average call time: 2 seconds and 82.69 milliseconds (2.082693 seconds)
+API Security: - Time to complete: 14 minutes, 8 seconds and 788.36 milliseconds (848.788358 seconds)
+```
+
+This job console output snippet starts by telling us how many operations were found (10), followed by notifications that testing has started on a specific operation and a summary of the operation has been completed. The summary is the most interesting part of this log output. In the summary, we can see that it took DAST API 767 requests to fully test this operation and its related fields. We can also see that the average response time was 2 seconds and the time to complete was 14 minutes for this one operation.
+
+An average response time of 2 seconds is a good initial indicator that this specific operation takes a long time to test. Further, we can see that the response body size is quite large. The large body size is the culprit here, transferring that much data on each request is what takes the majority of that 2 seconds.
+
+For this issue, the team might decide to:
+
+- Use a multi-CPU runner. Using a multi-CPU runner allows DAST API to parallelize the work being performed. This helps lower the test time, but getting the test down under 10 minutes might still be problematic without moving to a high CPU machine due to how long the operation takes to test.
+ - Trade off between how many CPUs and cost.
+- [Exclude this operation](#excluding-slow-operations) from the DAST API test. While this is the simplest, it has the downside of a gap in security test coverage.
+- [Exclude the operation from feature branch DAST API tests, but include it in the default branch test](#excluding-operations-in-feature-branches-but-not-default-branch).
+- [Split up the DAST API testing into multiple jobs](#splitting-a-test-into-multiple-jobs).
+
+The likely solution is to use a combination of these solutions to reach an acceptable test time, assuming your team's requirements are in the 5-7 minute range.
+
+### Addressing performance issues
+
+The following sections document various options for addressing performance issues for DAST API:
+
+- [Using a multi-CPU Runner](#using-a-multi-cpu-runner)
+- [Excluding slow operations](#excluding-slow-operations)
+- [Splitting a test into multiple jobs](#splitting-a-test-into-multiple-jobs)
+- [Excluding operations in feature branches, but not default branch](#excluding-operations-in-feature-branches-but-not-default-branch)
+
+#### Using a multi-CPU Runner
+
+One of the easiest performance boosts can be achieved using a multi-CPU runner with DAST API. This table shows statistics collected during benchmarking of a Java Spring Boot REST API. In this benchmark, the target and DAST API share a single runner instance.
+
+| CPU Count | Request per Second |
+|----------------------|--------------------|
+| 1 CPU (Shared Runner)| 75 |
+| 4 CPU | 255 |
+| 8 CPU | 400 |
+
+As we can see from this table, increasing the CPU count of the runner can have a large impact on testing speed/performance.
+
+To use a multi-CPU typically requires deploying a self-managed GitLab Runner onto a multi-CPU machine or cloud compute instance.
+
+When multiple types of GitLab Runners are available for use, the various instances are commonly set up with tags that can be used in the job definition to select a type of runner.
+
+Here is an example job definition for DAST API that adds a `tags` section with the tag `multi-cpu`. The job automatically extends the job definition included through the DAST API template.
+
+```yaml
+dast_api:
+ tags:
+ - multi-cpu
+```
+
+To verify that DAST API can detect multiple CPUs in the runner, download the `gl-api-security-scanner.log` file from a completed job's artifacts. Search the file for the string `Starting work item processor` and inspect the reported max DOP (degree of parallelism). The max DOP should be greater than or equal to the number of CPUs assigned to the runner. The value is never lower than 2, even on single CPU runners, unless forced through a configuration variable. If the value reported is less than the number of CPUs assigned to the runner, then something is wrong with the runner deployment. If unable to identify the problem, open a ticket with support to assist.
+
+Example log entry:
+
+`17:00:01.084 [INF] <Peach.Web.Core.Services.WebRunnerMachine> Starting work item processor with 2 max DOP`
+
+#### Excluding slow operations
+
+In the case of one or two slow operations, the team might decide to skip testing the operations. Excluding the operation is done using the `DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration [variable as explained in this section.](#exclude-paths)
+
+In this example, we have an operation that returns a large amount of data. The operation is `GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json`. To exclude it we provide the `DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration variable with the path portion of our operation URL `/api/large_response_json`.
+
+To verify the operation is excluded, run the DAST API job and review the job console output. It includes a list of included and excluded operations at the end of the test.
+
+```yaml
+dast_api:
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS: /api/large_response_json
+```
+
+Excluding operations from testing could allow some vulnerabilities to go undetected.
+{: .alert .alert-warning}
+
+#### Splitting a test into multiple jobs
+
+Splitting a test into multiple jobs is supported by DAST API through the use of [`DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS`](#exclude-paths) and [`DAST_API_EXCLUDE_URLS`](#exclude-urls). When splitting a test up, a good pattern is to disable the `dast_api` job and replace it with two jobs with identifying names. In this example we have two jobs, each job is testing a version of the API, so our names reflect that. However, this technique can be applied to any situation, not just with versions of an API.
+
+The rules we are using in the `dast_api_v1` and `dast_api_v2` jobs are copied from the [DAST API template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Security/DAST-API.gitlab-ci.yml).
+
+```yaml
+# Disable the main dast_api job
+dast_api:
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
+ when: never
+
+dast_api_v1:
+ extends: dast_api
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS: /api/v1/**
+ rules:
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED
+ when: never
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED_FOR_DEFAULT_BRANCH &&
+ $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH == $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
+ when: never
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH &&
+ $CI_GITLAB_FIPS_MODE == "true"
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_IMAGE_SUFFIX: "-fips"
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
+
+dast_api_v2:
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS: /api/v2/**
+ rules:
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED
+ when: never
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED_FOR_DEFAULT_BRANCH &&
+ $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH == $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
+ when: never
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH &&
+ $CI_GITLAB_FIPS_MODE == "true"
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_IMAGE_SUFFIX: "-fips"
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
+```
+
+#### Excluding operations in feature branches, but not default branch
+
+In the case of one or two slow operations, the team might decide to skip testing the operations, or exclude them from feature branch tests, but include them for default branch tests. Excluding the operation is done using the `DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration [variable as explained in this section.](#exclude-paths)
+
+In this example, we have an operation that returns a large amount of data. The operation is `GET http://target:7777/api/large_response_json`. To exclude it we provide the `DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS` configuration variable with the path portion of our operation URL `/api/large_response_json`. Our configuration disables the main `dast_api` job and creates two new jobs `dast_api_main` and `dast_api_branch`. The `dast_api_branch` is set up to exclude the long operation and only run on non-default branches (e.g. feature branches). The `dast_api_main` branch is set up to only execute on the default branch (`main` in this example). The `dast_api_branch` jobs run faster, allowing for quick development cycles, while the `dast_api_main` job which only runs on default branch builds, takes longer to run.
+
+To verify the operation is excluded, run the DAST API job and review the job console output. It includes a list of included and excluded operations at the end of the test.
+
+```yaml
+# Disable the main job so we can create two jobs with
+# different names
+dast_api:
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
+ when: never
+
+# DAST API for feature branch work, excludes /api/large_response_json
+dast_api_branch:
+ extends: dast_api
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_EXCLUDE_PATHS: /api/large_response_json
+ rules:
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED
+ when: never
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED_FOR_DEFAULT_BRANCH &&
+ $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH == $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
+ when: never
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH &&
+ $CI_GITLAB_FIPS_MODE == "true"
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_IMAGE_SUFFIX: "-fips"
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
+ when: never
+ - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH
+
+# DAST API for default branch (main in our case)
+# Includes the long running operations
+dast_api_main:
+ extends: dast_api
+ rules:
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED
+ when: never
+ - if: $DAST_API_DISABLED_FOR_DEFAULT_BRANCH &&
+ $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH == $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME

+ $CI_GITLAB_FIPS_MODE == "true"
+ variables:
+ DAST_API_IMAGE_SUFFIX: "-fips"

+```
+
## Troubleshooting
-### `Error waiting for API Security 'http://127.0.0.1:5000' to become available`
+### DAST API job times out after N hours
+
+The top two reasons for the DAST API job timing out are slow operations (> 1 second) and using a single-CPU runner for DAST API (GitLab shared runners are single-CPU). Before you can diagnose the problem further, the job must complete so the output can be analyzed. We recommend to start with a multi-CPU runner first, then exclude portions of your API operations until the job completes and the output can be further reviewed.

+See the following documentation sections for assistance:

+## Customize rulesets **(ULTIMATE)**
+
+> [Added](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/235359) support for overriding rules in GitLab 14.8.
+
+You can customize the default IaC Scanning rules provided with GitLab.
+
+The following customization options can be used separately, or together:
+
+- [Disable predefined rules](#disable-predefined-analyzer-rules).
+- [Override predefined rules](#override-predefined-analyzer-rules).
+
+### Disable predefined analyzer rules
+
+If there are specific IaC Scanning rules that you don't want active, you can disable them.
+
+To disable analyzer rules:
+
+1. Create a `.gitlab` directory at the root of your project, if one doesn't already exist.
+1. Create a custom ruleset file named `sast-ruleset.toml` in the `.gitlab` directory, if
+ one doesn't already exist.
+1. Set the `disabled` flag to `true` in the context of a `ruleset` section.
+1. In one or more `ruleset` subsections, list the rules to disable. Every
+ `ruleset.identifier` section has:
+ - A `type` field for the rule. For IaC Scanning, the identifier type is `kics_id`.
+ - A `value` field for the rule identifier. KICS rule identifiers are alphanumeric strings. To find the rule identifier, you can:
+ - Find it in the [JSON report artifact](#reports-json-format).
+ - Search for the rule name in the [list of KICS queries](https://docs.kics.io/latest/queries/all-queries/) and copy the alphanumeric identifier that's shown. The rule name is shown on the [Vulnerability Page](../vulnerabilities/index.md) when a rule violation is detected.
+
+In the following example `sast-ruleset.toml` file, the disabled rules are assigned to
+the `kics` analyzer by matching the `type` and `value` of identifiers:
+
+```toml
+[kics]
+ [[kics.ruleset]]
+ disable = true
+ [kics.ruleset.identifier]
+ type = "kics_id"
+ value = "8212e2d7-e683-49bc-bf78-d6799075c5a7"
+
+ [[kics.ruleset]]
+ disable = true
+ [kics.ruleset.identifier]
+ type = "kics_id"
+ value = "b03a748a-542d-44f4-bb86-9199ab4fd2d5"
+```
+
+### Override predefined analyzer rules
+
+If there are specific IaC Scanning rules you want to customize, you can override them. For
+example, you might lower the severity of a rule or link to your own documentation about how to fix a finding.
+
+To override rules:
+
+1. Create a `.gitlab` directory at the root of your project, if one doesn't already exist.
+1. Create a custom ruleset file named `sast-ruleset.toml` in the `.gitlab` directory, if
+ one doesn't already exist.
+1. In one or more `ruleset.identifier` subsections, list the rules to override. Every
+ `ruleset.identifier` section has:
+ - A `type` field for the rule. For IaC Scanning, the identifier type is `kics_id`.
+ - A `value` field for the rule identifier. KICS rule identifiers are alphanumeric strings. To find the rule identifier, you can:
+ - Find it in the [JSON report artifact](#reports-json-format).
+ - Search for the rule name in the [list of KICS queries](https://docs.kics.io/latest/queries/all-queries/) and copy the alphanumeric identifier that's shown. The rule name is shown on the [Vulnerability Page](../vulnerabilities/index.md) when a rule violation is detected.
+1. In the `ruleset.override` context of a `ruleset` section,
+ provide the keys to override. Any combination of keys can be
+ overridden. Valid keys are:
+ - description
+ - message
+ - name
+ - severity (valid options are: Critical, High, Medium, Low, Unknown, Info)
+
+In the following example `sast-ruleset.toml` file, rules are matched by the `type` and
+`value` of identifiers and then overridden:
+
+```toml
+[kics]
+ [[kics.ruleset]]
+ [kics.ruleset.identifier]
+ type = "kics_id"
+ value = "8212e2d7-e683-49bc-bf78-d6799075c5a7"
+ [kics.ruleset.override]
+ description = "OVERRIDDEN description"
+ message = "OVERRIDDEN message"
+ name = "OVERRIDDEN name"
+ severity = "Info"
+```
+
+## Pinning to specific analyzer version
+
+The GitLab-managed CI/CD template specifies a major version and automatically pulls the latest analyzer release within that major version.
+
+In some cases, you may need to use a specific version.
+For example, you might need to avoid a regression in a later release.
+
+To override the automatic update behavior, set the `SAST_ANALYZER_IMAGE_TAG` CI/CD variable
+in your CI/CD configuration file after you include the [`SAST-IaC.gitlab-ci.yml` template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Jobs/SAST-IaC.gitlab-ci.yml).
+
+Only set this variable within a specific job.
+If you set it [at the top level](../../../ci/variables/index.md#create-a-custom-cicd-variable-in-the-gitlab-ciyml-file), the version you set will be used for other SAST analyzers.
+
+You can set the tag to:
+
+- A major version, like `3`. Your pipelines will use any minor or patch updates that are released within this major version.
+- A minor version, like `3.7`. Your pipelines will use any patch updates that are released within this minor version.
+- A patch version, like `3.7.0`. Your pipelines won't receive any updates.
+
+This example uses a specific minor version of the `KICS` analyzer:
+
+```yaml
+include:
+ - template: Security/SAST-IaC.gitlab-ci.yml
+
+kics-iac-sast:
+ variables:
+ SAST_ANALYZER_IMAGE_TAG: "3.1"
+```

+
+Group owners can configure a compliance pipeline in a project separate to other projects. By default, the compliance
+pipeline configuration (`.gitlab-ci.yml` file) is run instead of the pipeline configuration of labeled projects.
+
+However, the compliance pipeline configuration can reference the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file of the labeled projects so that:
+
+- The compliance pipeline can also run jobs of labeled project pipelines. This allows for centralized control of
+ pipeline configuration.
+- Jobs and variables defined in the compliance pipeline can't be changed by variables in the labeled project's
+ `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
+
+See [example configuration](#example-configuration) for help configuring a compliance pipeline that runs jobs from
+labeled project pipeline configuration.
+
+To configure a compliance pipeline:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups > View all groups** and find your group.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings** > **General**.
+1. Expand the **Compliance frameworks** section.
+1. In **Compliance pipeline configuration (optional)**, add the path to the compliance framework configuration. Use the
+ `path/file.y[a]ml@group-name/project-name` format. For example:
+
+ - `.compliance-ci.yml@gitlab-org/gitlab`.
+ - `.compliance-ci.yaml@gitlab-org/gitlab`.
+
+This configuration is inherited by projects where the compliance framework label is
+[applied](../project/settings/index.md#add-a-compliance-framework-to-a-project). In projects with the applied compliance
+framework label, the compliance pipeline configuration is run instead of the labeled project's own pipeline configuration.
+
+The user running the pipeline in the labeled project must at least have the Reporter role on the compliance project.
+
+When used to enforce scan execution, this feature has some overlap with
+[scan execution policies](../application_security/policies/scan-execution-policies.md). We have not
+[unified the user experience for these two features](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/7312). For details on
+the similarities and differences between these features, see [Enforce scan execution](../application_security/index.md#enforce-scan-execution).
+
+### Example configuration

+configuration is also executed.

+
+#### CF pipelines in Merge Requests originating in project forks
+
+When an MR originates in a fork, the branch to be merged usually only exists in the fork.
+When creating such an MR against a project with CF pipelines, the above snippet will fail with a
+`Project <project-name> reference <branch-name> does not exist!` error message.
+This is because in the context of the target project, `$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` evaluates to a non-existing branch name.
+
+To get the correct context, use `$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_PROJECT_PATH` instead of `$CI_PROJECT_PATH`.
+This variable is only availabe in
+[merge request pipelines](../../ci/pipelines/merge_request_pipelines.md).
+
+For example, for a configuration that supports both merge request pipelines originating in project forks and branch pipelines,
+you need to [combine both `include` directives with `rules:if`](../../ci/yaml/includes.md#use-rules-with-include):
+
+```yaml
+include: # Execute individual project's configuration (if project contains .gitlab-ci.yml)
+ - project: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_PROJECT_PATH'
+ file: '$CI_CONFIG_PATH'
+ ref: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME'
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event'
+ - project: '$CI_PROJECT_PATH'
+ file: '$CI_CONFIG_PATH'
+ ref: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME'
+ rules:
+ - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE != 'merge_request_event'
+```
+
+## Ensure compliance jobs are always run
+
+Compliance pipelines [use GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/index.md) to give you an incredible amount of flexibility
+for defining any sort of compliance jobs you like. Depending on your goals, these jobs
+can be configured to be:
+
+- Modified by users.
+- Non-modifiable.
+
+Generally, if a value in a compliance job:
+
+- Is set, it cannot be changed or overridden by project-level configurations.
+- Is not set, a project-level configuration may set.
+
+Either might be wanted or not depending on your use case.
+
+There are a few best practices for ensuring that these jobs are always run exactly
+as you define them and that downstream, project-level pipeline configurations
+cannot change them:
+
+- Add [a `rules:when:always` block](../../ci/yaml/index.md#when) to each of your compliance jobs. This ensures they are

+## Avoid parent and child pipelines in GitLab 14.7 and earlier
+
+NOTE:
+This advice does not apply to GitLab 14.8 and later because [a fix](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/78878) added
+compatibility for combining compliance pipelines, and parent and child pipelines.
+
+Compliance pipelines start on the run of _every_ pipeline in a labeled project. This means that if a pipeline in the labeled project
+triggers a child pipeline, the compliance pipeline runs first. This can trigger the parent pipeline, instead of the child pipeline.
+
+Therefore, in projects with compliance frameworks, we recommend replacing
+[parent-child pipelines](../../ci/pipelines/downstream_pipelines.md#parent-child-pipelines) with the following:
+
+- Direct [`include`](../../ci/yaml/index.md#include) statements that provide the parent pipeline with child pipeline configuration.
+- Child pipelines placed in another project that are run using the [trigger API](../../ci/triggers/index.md) rather than the parent-child
+ pipeline feature.
+
+This alternative ensures the compliance pipeline does not re-start the parent pipeline.

- `path/file.y[a]ml@group-name/project-name` format. For example:
-
- - `.compliance-ci.yml@gitlab-org/gitlab`.
- - `.compliance-ci.yaml@gitlab-org/gitlab`.
-
-This configuration is inherited by projects where the compliance framework label is
-[applied](../project/settings/index.md#add-a-compliance-framework-to-a-project). In projects with the applied compliance
-framework label, the compliance pipeline configuration is run instead of the labeled project's own pipeline configuration.
-
-The user running the pipeline in the labeled project must at least have the Reporter role on the compliance project.

-When used to enforce scan execution, this feature has some overlap with
-[scan execution policies](../application_security/policies/scan-execution-policies.md). We have not

-##### CF pipelines in Merge Requests originating in project forks
-
-When an MR originates in a fork, the branch to be merged usually only exists in the fork.
-When creating such an MR against a project with CF pipelines, the above snippet will fail with a
-`Project <project-name> reference <branch-name> does not exist!` error message.
-This is because in the context of the target project, `$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME` evaluates to a non-existing branch name.
-
-To get the correct context, use `$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_PROJECT_PATH` instead of `$CI_PROJECT_PATH`.
-This variable is only availabe in
-[merge request pipelines](../../ci/pipelines/merge_request_pipelines.md).
-
-For example, for a configuration that supports both branch pipelines, as well as merge request pipelines originating in project forks,
-you need to [combine both `include` directives with `rules:if`](../../ci/yaml/includes.md#use-rules-with-include):
-
-```yaml
-include: # Execute individual project's configuration (if project contains .gitlab-ci.yml)
- - project: '$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_PROJECT_PATH'
- file: '$CI_CONFIG_PATH'
- ref: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME'
- rules:
- - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == 'merge_request_event'
- - project: '$CI_PROJECT_PATH'
- file: '$CI_CONFIG_PATH'
- ref: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME'
- rules:
- - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE != 'merge_request_event'
-```

-### Ensure compliance jobs are always run
-
-Compliance pipelines [use GitLab CI/CD](../../ci/index.md) to give you an incredible amount of flexibility
-for defining any sort of compliance jobs you like. Depending on your goals, these jobs
-can be configured to be:
-
-- Modified by users.
-- Non-modifiable.
-
-Generally, if a value in a compliance job:
-
-- Is set, it cannot be changed or overridden by project-level configurations.
-- Is not set, a project-level configuration may set.
-
-Either might be wanted or not depending on your use case.
-
-There are a few best practices for ensuring that these jobs are always run exactly
-as you define them and that downstream, project-level pipeline configurations
-cannot change them:
-
-- Add [a `rules:when:always` block](../../ci/yaml/index.md#when) to each of your compliance jobs. This ensures they are
- non-modifiable and are always run.
-- Explicitly set any [variables](../../ci/yaml/index.md#variables) the job references. This:
- - Ensures that project-level pipeline configurations do not set them and alter their
- behavior.
- - Includes any jobs that drive the logic of your job.
-- Explicitly set the [container image](../../ci/yaml/index.md#image) to run the job in. This ensures that your script
- steps execute in the correct environment.
-- Explicitly set any relevant GitLab pre-defined [job keywords](../../ci/yaml/index.md#job-keywords).
- This ensures that your job uses the settings you intend and that they are not overridden by
- project-level pipelines.
-
-### Avoid parent and child pipelines in GitLab 14.7 and earlier
-
-NOTE:
-This advice does not apply to GitLab 14.8 and later because [a fix](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/78878) added
-compatibility for combining compliance pipelines, and parent and child pipelines.
-
-Compliance pipelines start on the run of _every_ pipeline in a labeled project. This means that if a pipeline in the labeled project
-triggers a child pipeline, the compliance pipeline runs first. This can trigger the parent pipeline, instead of the child pipeline.
-
-Therefore, in projects with compliance frameworks, we recommend replacing
-[parent-child pipelines](../../ci/pipelines/downstream_pipelines.md#parent-child-pipelines) with the following:
-
-- Direct [`include`](../../ci/yaml/index.md#include) statements that provide the parent pipeline with child pipeline configuration.
-- Child pipelines placed in another project that are run using the [trigger API](../../ci/triggers/index.md) rather than the parent-child
- pipeline feature.
-
-This alternative ensures the compliance pipeline does not re-start the parent pipeline.

+# Git abuse rate limit **(ULTIMATE SELF)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8066) in GitLab 15.2 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `limit_unique_project_downloads_per_namespace_user`. Disabled by default.
+
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `limit_unique_project_downloads_per_namespace_user`. On GitLab.com, this feature is not available.
+
+Git abuse rate limiting is a feature to automatically ban users who download or clone more than a specified number of repositories in a group or any of its subgroups within a given time frame. Banned users cannot access the main group or any of its non-public subgroups via HTTP or SSH. Access to unrelated groups is unaffected.
+
+If the `limit_unique_project_downloads_per_namespace_user` feature flag is enabled, all users with the Owner role for the main group receive an email when a user is about to be banned.
+
+If automatic banning is disabled, a user is not banned automatically when they exceed the limit. However, users with the Owner role for the main group are still notified. You can use this setup to determine the correct values of the rate limit settings before enabling automatic banning.
+
+If automatic banning is enabled, users with the Owner role for the main group receive an email when a user is about to be banned, and the user is automatically banned from the group and its subgroups.
+
+## Configure Git abuse rate limiting
+
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Reporting**.
+1. Update the Git abuse rate limit settings:
+ 1. Enter a number in the **Number of repositories** field, greater than or equal to `0` and less than or equal to `10,000`. This number specifies the maximum amount of unique repositories a user can download in the specified time period before they're banned. When set to `0`, Git abuse rate limiting is disabled.
+ 1. Enter a number in the **Reporting time period (seconds)** field, greater than or equal to `0` and less than or equal to `86,400` (10 days). This number specifies the time in seconds a user can download the maximum amount of repositories before they're banned. When set to `0`, Git abuse rate limiting is disabled.
+ 1. Optional. Exclude up to `100` users by adding them to the **Excluded users** field. Excluded users are not automatically banned.
+ 1. Optional. Turn on the **Automatically ban users from this namespace when they exceed the specified limits** toggle to enable automatic banning.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+
+## Unban a user
+
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Group information > Members**.
+1. Select the **Banned** tab.

-## Build a Conan package
-
-This section explains how to install Conan and build a package for your C/C++
-project.
-
-If you already use Conan and know how to build your own packages, go to the
-[next section](#add-the-package-registry-as-a-conan-remote).
-
-### Install Conan
-
-Download the Conan package manager to your local development environment by
-following the instructions at [conan.io](https://conan.io/downloads.html).
-
-When installation is complete, verify you can use Conan in your terminal by
-running:
-
-```shell
-conan --version
-```
-
-The Conan version is printed in the output:
-
-```plaintext
-Conan version 1.20.5
-```
-
-### Install CMake
-
-When you develop with C++ and Conan, you can select from many available
-compilers. This example uses the CMake build system generator.
-
-To install CMake:
-
-- For Mac, use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) and run `brew install cmake`.
-- For other operating systems, follow the instructions at [cmake.org](https://cmake.org/install/).
-
-When installation is complete, verify you can use CMake in your terminal by
-running:
-
-```shell
-cmake --version
-```
-
-The CMake version is printed in the output.
-
-### Create a project
-
-To test the Package Registry, you need a C++ project. If you don't already have
-one, you can clone the Conan [hello world starter project](https://github.com/conan-io/hello).
-
-### Build a package
-
-To build a package:
-
-1. Open a terminal and navigate to your project's root folder.
-1. Generate a new recipe by running `conan new` with a package name and version:
-
- ```shell
- conan new Hello/0.1 -t
- ```
-
-1. Create a package for the recipe by running `conan create` with the Conan user
- and channel:
-
- ```shell
- conan create . mycompany/beta
- ```
-
- NOTE:
- If you use an [instance remote](#add-a-remote-for-your-instance), you must
- follow a specific [naming convention](#package-recipe-naming-convention-for-instance-remotes).

+# Build packages
+
+Learn how to install and build packages different package formats.
+
+- [Composer](#composer)
+- [Conan](#conan)
+- [Maven](#maven)
+- [Gradle](#gradle)
+- [npm](#npm)
+- [Yarn](#yarn)
+- [NuGet](#nuget)
+- [PyPI](#pypi)
+
+## Composer
+
+1. Create a directory called `my-composer-package` and change to that directory:
+
+ ```shell
+ mkdir my-composer-package && cd my-composer-package
+ ```
+
+1. Run [`composer init`](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#init) and answer the prompts.
+
+ For namespace, enter your unique [namespace](../../../user/namespace/index.md), like your GitLab username or group name.
+
+ A file called `composer.json` is created:
+
+ ```json
+ {
+ "name": "<namespace>/composer-test",
+ "description": "Library XY",
+ "type": "library",
+ "license": "GPL-3.0-only",
+ "authors": [
+ {
+ "name": "John Doe",
+ "email": "john@example.com"
+ }
+ ],
+ "require": {}
+ }
+ ```
+
+## Conan
+
+### Install Conan
+
+Download the Conan package manager to your local development environment by
+following the instructions at [conan.io](https://conan.io/downloads.html).
+
+When installation is complete, verify you can use Conan in your terminal by
+running:
+
+```shell
+conan --version
+```
+
+The Conan version is printed in the output:
+
+```plaintext
+Conan version 1.20.5
+```
+
+### Install CMake
+
+When you develop with C++ and Conan, you can select from many available
+compilers. This example uses the CMake build system generator.
+
+To install CMake:
+
+- For Mac, use [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) and run `brew install cmake`.
+- For other operating systems, follow the instructions at [cmake.org](https://cmake.org/install/).
+
+When installation is complete, verify you can use CMake in your terminal by
+running:
+
+```shell
+cmake --version
+```
+
+The CMake version is printed in the output.
+
+### Create a project
+
+To test the Package Registry, you need a C++ project. If you don't already have
+one, you can clone the Conan [hello world starter project](https://github.com/conan-io/hello).
+
+### Build a Conan package
+
+To build a package:
+
+1. Open a terminal and navigate to your project's root folder.
+1. Generate a new recipe by running `conan new` with a package name and version:
+
+ ```shell
+ conan new Hello/0.1 -t
+ ```
+
+1. Create a package for the recipe by running `conan create` with the Conan user
+ and channel:
+
+ ```shell
+ conan create . mycompany/beta
+ ```
+
+ NOTE:
+ If you use an [instance remote](../conan_repository/index.md#add-a-remote-for-your-instance), you must
+ follow a specific [naming convention](../conan_repository/index.md#package-recipe-naming-convention-for-instance-remotes).
+
+A package with the recipe `Hello/0.1@mycompany/beta` is created.
+
+For more details about creating and managing Conan packages, see the
+[Conan documentation](https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/creating_packages.html).
+
+## Maven
+
+### Install Maven
+
+The required minimum versions are:
+
+- Java 11.0.5+
+- Maven 3.6+
+
+Follow the instructions at [maven.apache.org](https://maven.apache.org/install.html)
+to download and install Maven for your local development environment. After
+installation is complete, verify you can use Maven in your terminal by running:
+
+```shell
+mvn --version
+```
+
+The output should be similar to:
+
+```shell
+Apache Maven 3.6.1 (d66c9c0b3152b2e69ee9bac180bb8fcc8e6af555; 2019-04-04T20:00:29+01:00)

+```
+
+### Build a Maven package
+
+1. Open your terminal and create a directory to store the project.
+1. From the new directory, run this Maven command to initialize a new package:
+
+ ```shell
+ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.mydepartment -DartifactId=my-project -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
+ ```
+
+ The arguments are:
+
+ - `DgroupId`: A unique string that identifies your package. Follow
+ the [Maven naming conventions](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html).
+ - `DartifactId`: The name of the `JAR`, appended to the end of the `DgroupId`.
+ - `DarchetypeArtifactId`: The archetype used to create the initial structure of
+ the project.
+ - `DinteractiveMode`: Create the project using batch mode (optional).
+

+
+### Create a PyPI package
+
+After you create a project, you can create a package.
+
+1. In your terminal, go to the `MyPyPiPackage` directory.
+1. Create a `pyproject.toml` file:

+ ```
+
+ This file contains all the information about the package. For more information
+ about this file, see [creating `pyproject.toml`](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/#creating-pyproject-toml).
+ Because GitLab identifies packages based on
+ [Python normalized names (PEP-503)](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0503/#normalized-names),
+ ensure your package name meets these requirements. See the [installation section](../pypi_repository/index.md#authenticate-with-a-ci-job-token)
+ for details.
+
+1. Open the `pyproject.toml` file, and then add basic information:
+
+ ```toml
+ [build-system]
+ requires = ["setuptools>=61.0"]
+ build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"
+
+ [project]
+ name = "mypypipackage"
+ version = "0.0.1"

+# Product analytics **(ULTIMATE)** **Alpha**
+
+> Introduced in GitLab 15.4 [with a flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `cube_api_proxy`. Disabled by default.
+
+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default this feature is not available. To make it available per project or for your entire instance, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `cube_api_proxy`.
+On GitLab.com, this feature is not available.
+This feature is not ready for production use.
+
+## Overview
+
+You can view the [product category](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/analytics/product-analytics/) page for more information about our direction. This page is a work in progress and will be updated as we add more features.
+
+## Product analytics dashboards
+
+Each project can define an unlimited number of dashboards. These dashboards are defined using our YAML schema and stored
+in the `.gitlab/product_analytics/dashboards/` directory. The name of the file is the name of the dashboard, and visualizations are shared across dashboards..
+
+Project maintainers can enforce approval rules on dashboard changes, and dashboards can be versioned in source control.
+
+### Define a dashboard
+
+To define a dashboard:
+
+1. In `.gitlab/product_analytics/dashboards/`, create a directory named like the dashboard. Each dashboard should have its own directory.
+1. In the new directory, create a `.yaml` file with the same name as the directory. This file contains the dashboard definition, and must conform to the JSON schema defined in `ee/app/validators/json_schemas/product_analytics_dashboard.json`.
+1. In the `.gitlab/product_analytics/dashboards/visualizations/` directory, create a `yaml` file. This file defines the visualization type for the dashboard, and must conform to the schema in
+`ee/app/validators/json_schemas/product_analytics_visualization.json`.
+
+The example below includes three dashboards and one visualization that applies to all dashboards.

+# Contributions calendar **(FREE)**

+This includes contributions made in forked and [private](#show-private-contributions-on-your-user-profile-page) repositories.
+
+![Contributions calendar](img/contributions_calendar_v15_6.png)
+
+The gradient color of the tiles represents the number of contributions made per day. The gradient ranges from blank (0 contributions) to dark blue (more than 30 contributions).
+
+NOTE:
+The contribution calendar only displays contributions from the last 12 months, but issue [24264](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/24264) proposes to change this to more than 12 months. General improvements to the user profile are proposed in issue [8488](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8488).

+# MLFlow Client Integration **(FREE)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8560) in GitLab 15.6 as an [Alpha](../../../policy/alpha-beta-support.md#alpha-features) release [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `ml_experiment_tracking`. Disabled by default.
+
+DISCLAIMER:
+MLFlow Client Integration is an experimental feature being developed by the Incubation Engineering Department,
+and will receive significant changes over time.
+
+[MLFlow](https://mlflow.org/) is one of the most popular open source tools for Machine Learning Experiment Tracking.
+GitLabs works as a backend to the MLFlow Client, [logging experiments](../ml/experiment_tracking/index.md).
+Setting up your integrations requires minimal changes to existing code.
+
+GitLab plays the role of proxy server, both for artifact storage and tracking data. It reflects the
+MLFlow [Scenario 5](https://www.mlflow.org/docs/latest/tracking.html#scenario-5-mlflow-tracking-server-enabled-with-proxied-artifact-storage-access).
+
+## Enable MFlow Client Integration
+
+Complete this task to enable MFlow Client Integration.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+- A [personal access token](../../../user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md) for the project, with minimum access level of `api`.
+- The project ID. To find the project ID, on the top bar, select **Main menu > Projects** and find your project. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
+
+1. Set the tracking URI and token environment variables on the host that runs the code (your local environment, CI pipeline, or remote host).
+
+ For example:
+
+ ```shell
+ export MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI="http://<your gitlab endpoint>/api/v4/projects/<your project id>/ml/mlflow"
+ export MLFLOW_TRACKING_TOKEN="<your_access_token>"
+ ```
+
+1. If your training code contains the call to `mlflow.set_tracking_uri()`, remove it.
+
+When running the training code, MLFlow will create experiments, runs, log parameters, metrics,
+and artifacts on GitLab.
+
+After experiments are logged, they are listed under `/<your project>/-/ml/experiments`. Runs are registered as Model Candidates,
+that can be explored by selecting an experiment.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- The API GitLab supports is the one defined at MLFlow version 1.28.0.
+- API endpoints not listed above are not supported.
+- During creation of experiments and runs, tags are ExperimentTags and RunTags are ignored.
+- MLFLow Model Registry is not supported.
+
+## Supported methods and caveats
+
+This is a list of methods we support from the MLFlow client. Other methods might be supported but were not
+tested. More information can be found in the [MLFlow Documentation](https://www.mlflow.org/docs/1.28.0/python_api/mlflow.html).
+
+### `set_experiment`
+
+Accepts both experiment_name and experiment_id
+
+### `start_run()`
+
+- Nested runs have not been tested.
+- `run_name` is not supported
+
+### `log_param()`, `log_params()`, `log_metric()`, `log_metrics()`
+
+Work as defined by the documentation
+
+### `log_artifact()`, `log_artifacts()`
+
+`artifact_path` must be empty string.
+
+### `log_model()`
+
+This is an experimental method in MLFlow, and partial support is offered. It stores the model artifacts, but does
+not log the model information. The `artifact_path` parameter must be set to `''`, because Generic Packages do not support folder
+structure.

+can rebase a merge request from the Rails console. Replace `<username>`,

+
+WARNING:
+Any command that changes data directly could be damaging if not run correctly,
+or under the right conditions. We highly recommend running them in a test environment
+with a backup of the instance ready to be restored, just in case.

+m = p.merge_requests.find_by(iid: <iid>)

+```
+
+### Fix incorrect merge request status **(FREE SELF)**
+
+If a merge request remains **Open** after its changes are merged,
+users with access to the [Rails console](../../../administration/operations/rails_console.md)
+can correct the merge request's status. Replace `<username>`, `<namespace/project>`,
+and `<iid>` with appropriate values:

+# Machine Learning Experiment Tracking **(FREE)**
+
+DISCLAIMER:
+Machine Learning Experiment Tracking is an experimental feature being developed by the Incubation Engineering Department,
+and will receive significant changes over time. This feature is being release with the aim of getting user feedback, but
+is not stable and can lead to performance degradation. See below on how to disable this feature.
+
+When creating machine learning models, data scientists often experiment with different parameters, configurations, feature
+engineering, and so on, to improve the performance of the model. Keeping track of all this metadata and the associated
+artifacts so that the data scientist can later replicate the experiment is not trivial. Machine learning experiment
+tracking enables them to log parameters, metrics, and artifacts directly into GitLab, giving easy access later on.
+
+![List of Experiments](img/experiments.png)
+
+![Experiment Candidates](img/candidates.png)
+
+## What is an experiment?
+
+An experiment is a collection of comparable model candidates. Experiments can be long lived (for example, when they represent
+a use case), or short lived (results from hyperparameter tuning triggered by a merge request), but usually hold model candidates
+that have a similar set of parameters and metrics.
+
+## Model candidate
+
+A model candidate is a variation of the training of a machine learning model, that can be eventually promoted to a version
+of the model. The goal of a data scientist is to find the model candidate whose parameter values lead to the best model
+performance, as indicated by the given metrics.
+
+Example parameters:
+
+- Algorithm (linear regression, decision tree, and so on).
+- Hyperparameters for the algorithm (learning rate, tree depth, number of epochs).
+- Features included.
+
+## Usage
+
+### User access management
+
+An experiment is always associated to a project. Only users with access to the project an experiment is associated with
+can view that experiment data.
+
+### Tracking new experiments and trials
+
+Experiment and trials can only be tracked through the [MLFlow](https://www.mlflow.org/docs/latest/tracking.html) client
+integration. More information on how to use GitLab as a backend for MLFlow Client can be found [at the documentation page](../../integrations/mlflow_client.md).
+
+### Exploring model candidates
+
+To list the current active experiments, navigate to `https/-/ml/experiments`. To display all trials
+that have been logged, along with their metrics and parameters, selecting an experiment.
+
+### Logging artifacts
+
+Trial artifacts are saved as [generic packages](../../../packages/generic_packages/index.md), and follow all their
+conventions. After an artifact is logged for a candidate, all artifacts logged for the candidate are listed in the
+package registry. The package name for a candidate is `ml_candidate_<candidate_id>`, with version `-`.
+
+### Limitations and future
+
+- Searching experiments, searching trials, visual comparison of trials, and creating, deleting and updating experiments and trials through GitLab UI is under development.
+- No support for experiment and trial metadata that do not classify as parameters or metrics.
+
+## Disabling or enabling the Feature
+
+On self-managed GitLab, ML Experiment Tracking is disabled by default. To enable the feature, ask an administrator to [disable the feature flag](../../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `ml_experiment_tracking`.
+On GitLab.com, this feature is currently on private testing.
+
+## Feedback, roadmap and reports
+
+For updates on the development, feedback and bug reports, refer to the [development epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/8560).

+
+| Value | Description | Possible Fixes |
+|-----------------------------|-------------|----------------|
+| `UNVERIFIED` | The commit signature is not valid. | Sign the commit with a valid signature. |
+| `SAME_USER_DIFFERENT_EMAIL` | The GPG key used to sign the commit does not contain the committer email, but does contain a different valid email for the committer. | Amend the commit to use an email address that matches the GPG key, or update the GPG key [to include the email address](https://security.stackexchange.com/a/261468). |
+| `OTHER_USER` | The signature and GPG key are valid, but the key belongs to a different user than the committer. | Amend the commit to use the correct email address, or amend the commit to use a GPG key associated with your user. |
+| `UNVERIFIED_KEY` | The key associated with the GPG signature has no verified email address associated with the committer. | Add and verify the email to your GitLab profile, [update the GPG key to include the email address](https://security.stackexchange.com/a/261468), or amend the commit to use a different committer email address. |
+| `UNKNOWN_KEY` | The GPG key associated with the GPG signature for this commit is unknown to GitLab. | [Add the GPG key](#add-a-gpg-key-to-your-account) to your GitLab profile. |
+| `MULTIPLE_SIGNATURES` | Multiple GPG or X.509 signatures have been found for the commit. | Amend the commit to use only one GPG or X.509 signature. |

-
-[Maximum import size limitations](#import-a-project-and-its-data)
-can prevent an import from being successful. If changing the import limits is not possible, you can
-try one of the workarounds listed here.
-
-#### Workaround option 1
-
-The following local workflow can be used to temporarily
-reduce the repository size for another import attempt:
-
-1. Create a temporary working directory from the export:
-
- ```shell
- EXPORT=<filename-without-extension>
-
- mkdir "$EXPORT"
- tar -xf "$EXPORT".tar.gz --directory="$EXPORT"/
- cd "$EXPORT"/
- git clone project.bundle
-
- # Prevent interference with recreating an importable file later
- mv project.bundle ../"$EXPORT"-original.bundle
- mv ../"$EXPORT".tar.gz ../"$EXPORT"-original.tar.gz
-
- git switch --create smaller-tmp-main
- ```
-
-1. To reduce the repository size, work on this `smaller-tmp-main` branch:
- [identify and remove large files](../repository/reducing_the_repo_size_using_git.md)
- or [interactively rebase and fixup](../../../topics/git/git_rebase.md#interactive-rebase)
- to reduce the number of commits.
-
- ```shell
- # Reduce the .git/objects/pack/ file size
- cd project
- git reflog expire --expire=now --all
- git gc --prune=now --aggressive
-
- # Prepare recreating an importable file
- git bundle create ../project.bundle <default-branch-name>
- cd ..
- mv project/ ../"$EXPORT"-project
- cd ..
-
- # Recreate an importable file
- tar -czf "$EXPORT"-smaller.tar.gz --directory="$EXPORT"/ .
- ```
-
-1. Import this new, smaller file into GitLab.
-1. In a full clone of the original repository,
- use `git remote set-url origin <new-url> && git push --force --all`
- to complete the import.
-1. Update the imported repository's
- [branch protection rules](../protected_branches.md) and
- its [default branch](../repository/branches/default.md), and
- delete the temporary, `smaller-tmp-main` branch, and
- the local, temporary data.
-
-#### Workaround option 2
-
-NOTE:
-This workaround does not account for LFS objects.
-
-Rather than attempting to push all changes at once, this workaround:
-
-- Separates the project import from the Git Repository import
-- Incrementally pushes the repository to GitLab
-
-1. Make a local clone of the repository to migrate. In a later step, you push this clone outside of
- the project export.
-1. Download the export and remove the `project.bundle` (which contains the Git repository):
-
- ```shell
- tar -czvf new_export.tar.gz --exclude='project.bundle' @old_export.tar.gz
- ```
-
-1. Import the export without a Git repository. It asks you to confirm to import without a
- repository.
-1. Save this bash script as a file and run it after adding the appropriate origin.
-
- ```shell
- #!/bin/sh
-
- # ASSUMPTIONS:
- # - The GitLab location is "origin"
- # - The default branch is "main"
- # - This will attempt to push in chunks of 500MB (dividing the total size by 500MB).
- # Decrease this size to push in smaller chunks if you still receive timeouts.
-
- git gc
- SIZE=$(git count-objects -v 2> /dev/null | grep size-pack | awk '{print $2}')
-
- # Be conservative... and try to push 2GB at a time
- # (given this assumes each commit is the same size - which is wrong)
- BATCHES=$(($SIZE / 500000))
- TOTAL_COMMITS=$(git rev-list --count HEAD)
- if (( BATCHES > TOTAL_COMMITS )); then
- BATCHES=$TOTAL_COMMITS
- fi
-
- INCREMENTS=$(( ($TOTAL_COMMITS / $BATCHES) - 1 ))
-
- for (( BATCH=BATCHES; BATCH>=1; BATCH-- ))
- do
- COMMIT_NUM=$(( $BATCH - $INCREMENTS ))
- COMMIT_SHA=$(git log -n $COMMIT_NUM --format=format:%H | tail -1)
- git push -u origin ${COMMIT_SHA}:refs/heads/main
- done
- git push -u origin main
- git push -u origin --all
- git push -u origin --tags
- ```
-
-### Manually execute export steps
-
-Exports sometimes fail without giving enough information to troubleshoot. In these cases, it can be
-helpful to [open a rails console session](../../../administration/operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session)
-and loop through [all the defined exporters](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/b67a5b5a12498d57cd877023b7385f7251e57de8/app/services/projects/import_export/export_service.rb#L65).

+
+## Troubleshooting performance issues
+
+Read through the current performance problems using the Import/Export below.
+
+### OOM errors
+
+Out of memory (OOM) errors are normally caused by the [Sidekiq Memory Killer](../../../administration/sidekiq/sidekiq_memory_killer.md):
+
+```shell
+SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_MAX_RSS = 2000000
+SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_HARD_LIMIT_RSS = 3000000
+SIDEKIQ_MEMORY_KILLER_GRACE_TIME = 900
+```
+
+An import status `started`, and the following Sidekiq logs signal a memory issue:
+
+```shell
+WARN: Work still in progress <struct with JID>
+```
+
+### Timeouts
+
+Timeout errors occur due to the `Gitlab::Import::StuckProjectImportJobsWorker` marking the process as failed:
+
+```ruby
+module Gitlab
+ module Import
+ class StuckProjectImportJobsWorker
+ include Gitlab::Import::StuckImportJob
