If you are familiar with CommandBox simply run the command:
box install fixinator
Check out the Getting Started Guide or the Wiki for more info.
When running the fixinator
command via the command line you can set the following arguments:
The folder or file to scan. As of version 2.0 you can also pass a file globber pattern.
Default: high
Possible values are none
, low
, medium
or high
. This setting is used to filter out results that the scanner is not confident about. Setting it to a lower value will show more issues but may have some false positives.
Default: low
Possible values are: low
, medium
or high
. Filter by severity of the issues found.
Default: off
off
- does not fix codeprompt
- prompts at each issue that can be fixed, if you select a fix the file will be updated with the fix codeauto
- does not prompt, it will fix each issue with the first choice
It is highly recommended that you use autofix
only with code that is under version control so you can review the diff.
Writes results to a file specified by the path in resultFile. You may specify a comma seperated list of paths if you want to write multiple formats.
Specify a format for the resultFile
: json
(default), html
, pdf
, csv
, junit
, sast
, or findbugs
. You may specify a comma seperated list of formats and resultFile
paths if you want to write multiple files.
A file globber pattern of paths to ignore from the scan.
Default: true
- When true returns an exit code of 1
when issues are found, this will cause your build to fail if you are running in CI. If you do not want the build to fail when issues are found, set this to false
.
Default: false
- Prints out a list of scanners supported by the server in the results. Automatically set to true
when verbose
is true
The following environment variables are used by fixinator:
The FIXINATOR_API_KEY
environment variable holds an API key which will be passed to the Fixinator API service via the x-api-key
HTTP request header. Please visit https://fixinator.app/ to obtain a key.
You can also set this value by running:
box config set modules.fixinator.api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
The FIXINATOR_API_URL
environment variable points to the URL of the Fixinator API service. If you are running fixinator locally you will want to point this to your local API instance (enterprise edition). If you are using the public API then you do not need to set this variable.
You can also set this value by running:
box config set modules.fixinator.api_url=http://127.0.0.1:1234/scan/
The FIXINATOR_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE
environment variables controls the size of a payload that is sent to the fixinator api server at a time, as well as the max file size. The unit for this setting is bytes.
You can also set this value by running:
box config set modules.fixinator.max_payload_size=numberOfBytes
This variable should only be used with the enterprise edition otherwise you may run into issues.
The FIXINATOR_MAX_PAYLOAD_FILE_COUNT
environment variables controls the maximum number of files sent the fixinator api server at a time.
You can also set this value by running:
box config set modules.fixinator.max_payload_file_count=numberOfFiles
This variable should only be used with the enterprise edition otherwise you may run into issues.
A .fixinator.json
configuration file can be placed in the root of a folder to be scanned. For Example:
{
"ignorePaths":["some/folder-to-ignore", "some/file-to-ignore.cfm"],
"ignoreExtensions":["ign","ore"],
"ignoreScanners":["xss"],
"minSeverity": "low",
"minConfidence": "low",
"ignorePatterns": {}
}
Note that .fixinator.json
files placed in a subfolder of the base scan path are currently ignored.
An array of path patterns to ignore. Certain paths are always ignored such as .git
or .svn
paths.
An array of file extensions to ignore. Certain file extensions such as image files (png, gif, jpg, etc) are always ignored.
An array of scanner name slugs to ignore. For example ["sqlinjection","xss","pathtraversal"]
would ignore or omit the results of the SQL Injection Scanner the Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Scanner and the Path Traversal scanner.
Default: low
- The minimum severity level that will be flagged. Set this to high
if you only care about severe issues.
Default: high
- The minimum confidence level that will be flagged. Issues with low
confidence will be more likely to be false positives.
Some applications may have their own functions for safely encoding varaibles to prevent Cross Site Scripting (XSS). Suppose you have a customEncodeHTML()
function that is similar to encodeForHTML()
, we can tell Fixinator's XSS scanner to ignore variables that have the customEncodeHTML
function call
"ignorePatterns": {
"xss": ["customEncodeHTML("]
}
Now suppose you have an a few application variables that are used in SQL, they are not vulnerable to SQL injection because they are hard coded in the application. We can ignore those by adding some patterns for the sqlinjection
scanner:
"ignorePatterns": {
"xss": ["customEncodeHTML("],
"sqlinjection": ["application.table_prefix", "application.items_per_page"]
}
This is a very powerful feature, so make sure you only use it on variables, functions or patterns you know are safe.
You can ignore an issue in your source code by adding a comment like this:
<cfquery>
SELECT x FROM table
<!--- ignore:sqlinjection - #id# is not vulnerable to SQL injection because of XYZ --->
WHERE id = #id#
</cfquery>
The comment must be on the same line as the issue, or on the line above the issue. It must include ignore:issueType
where issueType
is the fixinator id type for the issue. Fully supported in cfscript as well, for example:
//ignore:iif - b and a are safe variables because...
x = iif(c, b, a);
Also take a look at the ignorePatterns
object in the .fixinator.json
file for another way to ignore code from fixinator.
