Passing the Security Rating as part of the Code Quality Testing in Cloud Manager

What is the minimum threshold for passing the security rating as part of the code quality testing in Cloud Manager?

 

  • 1 minor vulnerability
  • 1 medium vulnerability
  • 1 major vulnerability
  • 1 critical vulnerability

Hi @s__k__agarwal ,

 

The minimum threshold for passing the security rating as part of the code quality testing in Cloud Manager is 1 minor vulnerability, based on how the security ratings are defined:

 

Name Definition Category Failure Threshold

Security RatingA = No vulnerabilities
B = At least 1 minor vulnerability
C = At least 1 major vulnerability
D = At least 1 critical vulnerability
E = At least 1 blocker vulnerability
Critical< B

 

Since ratings drop to C or lower for major, critical, or blocker vulnerabilities (which result in a build failure), only minor vulnerabilities (rating B) allow a build to pass.

 

You can read more about it in detail here:

Thanks.

Hi @s__k__agarwal,

As mentioned by @shivamkumar, adding the below explanation to make the context easier to understand.

In Adobe Cloud Manager for AEM as a Cloud Service, the minimum threshold for passing the security rating (code quality testing) is:

  • Zero critical vulnerabilities
  • Zero major vulnerabilities

Minor and medium vulnerabilities are tolerated - they do not fail the pipeline by default.
Only critical or major security issues will fail the build.

So, answering your list:

Vulnerability Allowed to Pass?
1 minor Allowed
1 medium Allowed
1 major Not Allowed (fails security rating)
1 critical Not Allowed (fails security rating)


In simple words:

Even 1 major or 1 critical vulnerability will fail the security rating in Cloud Manager.
