Extension summary

This extension adds a widget in the Gitlab merge request page showing critical and high vulnerabilities of a container image generated in the associated pipeline.

A container scanning job must exist in the pipeline. This job must generate a container scanning report artifact. To add a container scanning job, follow the steps defined here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/container_scanning/

The free version of Gitlab supports container scanning but does not support decoration of the merge request with vulnerability details. This extension fills that gap by decorating the merge request with a vulnerability widget.

Note: The extension requires configuring a personal access token with "read_api" scope to allow fetching the pipeline artifacts. This token is saved in Chrome storage with encryption and never leaves your browser. To create a personal access token, follow the steps here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html

Nice plugin to show the found vulnerabilities. Too bad you can't see configure the levels you want to see, like medium level vulnerabilities
