Bitbucket Pipelines integration

Snyk integrates with Bitbucket Pipelines using a Snyk pipe, seamlessly scanning your application dependencies and Docker images for open source security vulnerabilities as part of the continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) workflow.
​Bitbucket Pipes enables users to customize and automate a Bitbucket Pipeline CI/CD workflow with a group of ready-to-use tasks that can be added inside of your pipelines by copying and pasting them from the Bitbucket interface.
With the Snyk pipe, you can quickly add Snyk scanning to your pipelines to test and monitor for vulnerabilities at different points of the CI/CD workflow, based on your configurations. Results are then displayed from the Bitbucket Pipelines output view and can also be monitored from the Snyk Web UI (app.snyk.io).
Snyk pipe information in Bitbucket
From the build directory, Bitbucket Pipelines displays a list of available pipes customized for you, similar to the following image:

From this list, find and click Snyk to view the pipe, examples, parameters, and values:

Language support
Snyk integration with Bitbucket pipes is supported for the following languages:
JavaScript (npm)
.NET (NuGet)
PHP Composer
Ruby
Docker
Bitbucket pipeline implementation for Java (Maven and Gradle) requires the Snyk CLI.
Bitbucket Pipelines integration: how it works
Once you have added the Snyk pipe to the pipeline, each time the pipeline executes (by any trigger type) the Snyk pipe performs the following actions:
Scan
1.Snyk scans app dependencies or container images for vulnerabilities or licensing issues, and lists the vulnerabilities and issues.
2.If Snyk finds vulnerabilities, it does one of the following (based on your configuration):
Fails the build
Lets the build complete
Monitor
Optionally, if the build completes successfully and MONITOR is set to True in the Snyk step, then Snyk saves a snapshot of the project dependencies from the Snyk Web UI, where you can view the dependency tree displaying all of the issues and receive alerts for new issues found in the existing app version.
Configure your Bitbucket Pipelines integration
To enable Snyk to test and monitor your code as an integral part of your CI/CD workflow in Bitbucket, add the Snyk pipe into your bitbucket-pipelines.yml (YAML) file located in the root of your repository. This file that defines all your build configurations (pipelines for your CI/CD workflow).
Prerequisites
For your Bitbucket Pipelines, ensure you have build minutes in your account, which are necessary to enable ongoing CI/CD workflows.
Create a Snyk account and retrieve the Snyk API token from your Account settings.
Create a Repository variable from Bitbucket for your Snyk API token. Call the variable SNYK_TOKEN.
How to add a Snyk pipe
1.Add the Snyk pipe while creating your pipeline or while editing an existing pipeline. See the Bitbucket documentation for more information: pipelines and pipes. When adding the Snyk pipe, follow the guidelines in the remaining steps.
2.Use the Bitbucket pipeline editor to update the .yml file configuration, select the correct language, and use the Bitbucket Pipes build directory when adding the Snyk pipe.
3.Paste the Snyk pipe into the Bitbucket editor interface after all build steps. Build steps are commands such as these: npm install / composer install / bundle install / dotnet restore / docker build
4.Ensure you paste the pipe before a deployment step, such as npm publish or docker push.
5.Configure the LANGUAGE, choose whether to fail the pipeline on vulnerabilities found with DONT_BREAK_BUILD (you can also use SEVERITY_THRESHOLD), and consider enabling MONITOR . For more information see the next section of this doc, Snyk pipe parameters and values.
6.Once Snyk is included in your pipeline commands, it looks for the manifest files in that repository (package.json, package-lock.json) and performs the scan.
Results appear in the Bitbucket Pipelines output interface, similar to the following:
Bitbucket Pipelines output interface
Note: If the build fails, even if MONITOR is set to True, Snyk does not continue to the monitor stage because no projects are deployed until the build succeeds. To enable monitoring on Snyk.io of projects with vulnerabilities, set DONT_BREAK_BUILD to True. You can use SEVERITY_THRESHOLD to tell the pipe the severity threshold for failing the pipe at the scanning stage. For more information see the next section, Snyk pipe parameters and values.
Snyk pipe parameters and values (Bitbucket Cloud)
The following is the Snyk pipe that should be configured as part of a pipeline YAML file in order to include vulnerability scanning as part of your CI/CD workflow:
- pipe: snyk/snyk-scan:0.4.6
variables:
SNYK_TOKEN: '' # It is preferable to encrypt this value and enter the string $SNYK_TOKEN only in the pipeline. See the table that follows for more information.
LANGUAGE: '' # Required unless you use the snyk-cli image
# IMAGE_NAME: '' # Only required if LANGUAGE set to 'docker'
# CODE_INSIGHTS_RESULTS: '' # Optional. Default: false
# SNYK_TEST_JSON_INPUT: "" # Optional. Default: false
# DONT_BREAK_BUILD: '' # Optional
# MONITOR: '' # Optional
# SEVERITY_THRESHOLD: '' # Optional
# ORGANIZATION: '' # Optional
# PROJECT_FOLDER: '' # Optional
# TARGET_FILE: '' # Optional
# EXTRA_ARGS: '' # Optional
# DEBUG: '' # Optional
The following table describes the Snyk pipe parameters.
Parameter
Description
SNYK_TOKEN (*)
Enter the Snyk API token, which you can retrieve from your Snyk Account settings.
We recommend you encrypt the token: you can add it as a predefined variable in a separate part of the Bitbucket pipes directory:
1.From the build directory, navigate to add a new Repository value, name the parameter “SNYK_TOKEN” and enter your API token from Snyk as the value.
2.From the pipeline YAML file that you're building, enter $SNYK_TOKEN as the value for the SNYK_TOKEN parameter in the Snyk pipe.
​
​
See Bitbucket documentation for more information about predefined variables.
LANGUAGE (*)
Configure the package manager of the app (for example, npm, maven, rubygems, composer, nuget or docker).
See Dockerhub for a full list of possible tags.
IMAGE_NAME (*)
For docker language only, configure the image name for which to perform a docker scan.
CODE_INSIGHTS_RESULTS
Create Code Insight report with Snyk test results. Default: `false`.
SNYK_TEST_JSON_INPUT
Use if you want to create only a Code Insights report from a previously generated `snyk test --json` output. See the example that follows in the section "Generating the Code Insights report from existing Snyk JSON output".
DONT_BREAK_BUILD
When set to true, continues the build even when vulnerabilities are discovered.
Default: false. The build fails.
MONITOR
Records a snapshot of the project for the Snyk UI and then continues monitoring the project after the build is run.
If the test succeeds, this records a snapshot of the dependencies in the Snyk app and allows you to see the state of your deployed code, have it monitored, and receive alerts when new vulnerabilities are found in the code.
Default: false. The project is not monitored after the initial scan.
SEVERITY_THRESHOLD
Reports issues equal to or higher than the configured level. Possible values: low, med, high, critical
Default: low. All vulnerabilities are reported.
ORGANIZATION
Configures the organization from your Snyk account to which to associate the repository.
Default: none.
PROJECT_FOLDER
The folder in which the project resides.
Default: ..
TARGET_FILE
The package file (for example package.json), equivalent to --file= in the CLI.
For Docker enter the Dockerfile as the value.
Default: none.
EXTRA_ARGS
Extra arguments to be passed to the Snyk CLI. Use the parameters and arguments as described here.
Default: none.
DEBUG
Turn on extra debug information.
Default: false
In order to use a custom API, set the SNYK_API environment variable to the URL of the API.
