Description

This extension will compute:

• OWASP-2021 , OWASP-2017 , OWASP-2013  top 10 application security risks as technical criteria grades,
• CWE TOP 25 2024 , CWE TOP 25 2023 , CWE TOP 25 2022 , CWE TOP 25 2021 , CWE TOP 25 2020 , CWE TOP 25 2019 , CWE TOP 25 2011  top 25 application security risks as technical criteria grades, and CWE ,

Configuration requirements

Generate a snapshot

A new snapshot must be generated (after the extension is installed) before results can be viewed. If you do not immediately see changes in the dashboard, please consider restarting the dashboard service and/or emptying your browser cache.

Engineering Dashboard

Tiles

Out of the box, no tiles will be provided to display data for this extension, however it is possible to create tiles manually to display Violation data directly from this extension using the Industry Standard/s tile plugin in v. ≥ 1.18 of the Engineering Dashboard. See Engineering Dashboard tile management  for more information.

Clicking on the tile navigates to Risk investigation view and the specified Industry Standard will be selected in the Health Factor table. 

Health Dashboard

Out of the box, no tiles will be provided to display data for this extension, however it is possible to create tiles manually to display Grade, Compliance, and Violation data directly from this extension using the Industry Standard/s tile plugin in v. ≥ 1.17 of the Health Dashboard. See Health Dashboard tile management  for more information. Clicking on any of these tiles will display a list of the rules that have been tagged with the specified standard as provided by the extension. Compliance percentage is also displayed in a “bubble”.

Example for cmp.json

Configuration to create a “gauge” tile at portfolio level (multi-app level) to show an OWASP-2017 A1-2017 tile:

{
  "id": 1234,
  "plugin": "IndustryStandards",
  "color": "black",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "OWASP-2017",
    "title": "OWASP-2017 A1-2017",
    "widget": "gauge",
    "industryStandard": {
        "id": "1062321",
        "indexID": "1062320",
        "mode": "grade",
        "format": "0.00",
        "description": "OWASP-2017 A1-2017, in grade format"
    }
  }
}

Example for app.json

Configuration to create a “number of violations” tile at application level (single app level) to show an OWASP-2017 A1-2017 tile:

{
  "id": 1236,
  "plugin": "IndustryStandard",
  "color": "orange",
  "parameters": {
    "type": "OWASP-2017",    
    "title": "OWASP-2017 A1-2017",
    "industryStandard": {
        "id": "1062321",
        "indexID": "1062320",
        "mode": "violations",
        "format": "0,000",
        "description": "OWASP-2017 A1-2017, in number of violations format" 
    }
  }
}

What results can you expect?

Once the analysis/snapshot generation has completed, you can view the results in the dashboards:
