JFrog Frogbot is a Git bot that scans your git repositories for security vulnerabilities.
- Frogbot scans pull requests right after they are opened, but before they are merged. This unique capability ensures that the code is scanned and can be fixed even before vulnerabilities are introduced in the code base.
- Frogbot scans the Git repository periodically and creates pull requests with fixes for vulnerabilities that are detected.
Frogbot uses JFrog's vast vulnerabilities database, to which we continuously add new component vulnerability data. Also included is VulnDB, the industry's most comprehensive security database, to further extend the range of vulnerabilities detected and fixed by Frogbot.
Frogbot supports the following Git providers:
- Azure Repos
- Bitbucket Server
- GitHub
- GitLab.
-
Frogbot uses a JFrog environment to scan your Git repositories. If you don't have a JFrog environment, you can set up one for free, and use it with no limits.
-
Frogbot also requires a runtime environment for the scanning. The following environments are supported:
- GitHub Actions
- JFrog Pipelines
- Jenkins
- Azure Pipelines
Step 1 - Optionally set up a FREE JFrog Environment in the Cloud
Frogbot requires a JFrog environment to scan your projects. If you don't have an environment, we can set up a free environment in the cloud for you. Just run one of the following commands in your terminal to set up an environment in less than a minute.
The commands will do the following:
- Install JFrog CLI on your machine.
- Create a FREE JFrog environment in the cloud for you.
For macOS and Linux, use curl
curl -fL "https://getcli.jfrog.io?setup" | sh
For Windows, use PowerShell
powershell "Start-Process -Wait -Verb RunAs powershell '-NoProfile iwr https://releases.jfrog.io/artifactory/jfrog-cli/v2-jf/[RELEASE]/jfrog-cli-windows-amd64/jf.exe -OutFile $env:SYSTEMROOT\system32\jf.exe'" ; jf setup
After the setup is complete, you'll receive an email with your JFrog environment connection details, which can be stored as secrets in Git.
Step 2 - Create the frogbot-config.yml file if needed
Step 3 - Install Frogbot
Frogbot uses JFrog Xray (version 3.29.0 and above is required) to scan your pull requests. It adds the scan results as a comment on the pull request. If no new vulnerabilities are found, Frogbot will also add a comment, confirming this.
Supported package management tools:
- Go
- Gradle
- Maven
- .NET
- npm
- NuGet
- Pip
- Pipenv
- Poetry
- Yarn 2
Azure Repos
After you create a new pull request, Frogbot will automatically scan it.
NOTE: The scan output will include only new vulnerabilities added by the pull request. Vulnerabilities that aren't new, and existed in the code before the pull request was created, will not be included in the report. In order to include all the vulnerabilities in the report, including older ones that weren't added by this PR, use the includeAllVulnerabilities parameter in the frogbot-config.yml file.
The Frogbot Azure Repos scan workflow is:
- The developer opens a pull request.
- Frogbot scans the pull request and adds a comment with the scan results.
- Frogbot can be triggered again following new commits, by adding a comment with the
rescan
text.
Bitbucket Server
After you create a new pull request, Frogbot will automatically scan it.
NOTE: The scan output will include only new vulnerabilities added by the pull request. Vulnerabilities that aren't new, and existed in the code before the pull request was created, will not be included in the report. In order to include all of the vulnerabilities in the report, including older ones that weren't added by this PR, use the includeAllVulnerabilities parameter in the frogbot-config.yml file.
The Frogbot scan on Bitbucket Server workflow:
- The developer opens a pull request.
- Frogbot scans the pull request and adds a comment with the scan results.
- Frogbot can be triggered again following new commits, by adding a comment with the
rescan
text.
GitHub
After you create a new pull request, the maintainer of the Git repository can trigger Frogbot to scan the pull request from the pull request UI.
NOTE: The scan output will include only new vulnerabilities added by the pull request. Vulnerabilities that aren't new, and existed in the code before the pull request was created, will not be included in the report. In order to include all of the vulnerabilities in the report, including older ones that weren't added by this PR, use the includeAllVulnerabilities parameter in the frogbot-config.yml file.
The Frogbot GitHub scan workflow is:
- The developer opens a pull request.
- The Frogbot workflow automatically gets triggered and a GitHub environment named
frogbot
becomes pending for the maintainer's approval.
GitLab
After you create a new merge request, the maintainer of the Git repository can trigger Frogbot to scan the merge request from the merge request UI.
NOTE: The scan output will include only new vulnerabilities added by the merge request. Vulnerabilities that aren't new, and existed in the code before the merge request was created, will not be included in the report. In order to include all of the vulnerabilities in the report, including older ones that weren't added by this merge request, use the includeAllVulnerabilities parameter in the frogbot-config.yml file.
The Frogbot GitLab flow is as follows:
- The developer opens a merge request.
- The maintainer of the repository reviews the merge request and approves the scan by triggering the manual frogbot-scan job.
- Frogbot is then triggered by the job, it scans the merge request, and adds a comment with the scan results.
- Frogbot can be triggered again following new commits, by triggering the frogbot-scan job again. GitLab CI Run Button
When installing Frogbot using JFrog Pipelines, Jenkins and Azure DevOps, Frogbot will not wait for a maintainer's approval before scanning newly opened pull requests. Using Frogbot with these platforms, however, isn't recommended for open-source projects.
When installing Frogbot using GitHub Actions and GitLab however, Frogbot will initiate the scan only after it is approved by a maintainer of the project. The goal of this review is to ensure that external code contributors don't introduce malicious code as part of the pull request. Since this review step is enforced by Frogbot when used with GitHub Actions and GitLab, it is safe to be used for open-source projects.
Frogbot adds the scan results to the pull request in the following format:
If no new vulnerabilities are found, Frogbot automatically adds the following comment to the pull request:
If new vulnerabilities are found, Frogbot adds them as a comment on the pull request. For example:
Frogbot scans your Git repository and automatically opens pull requests for upgrading vulnerable dependencies to a version with a fix.
For GitHub repositories, Frogbot also adds Security Alerts which you can view in the GitHub UI:
Frogbot uses JFrog Xray for the scanning. The scanning is triggered following commits that are pushed to the repository.
Supported package management tools:
- Go
- Maven
- npm
- Pip
- Pipenv
- Poetry
- Yarn 2
You can show people that your repository is scanned by Frogbot by adding a badge to the README of your Git repository.
You can add this badge by copying the following markdown snippet and pasting it into your repository's README.md file.
