Note: Your site administrator must enable 代� �扫描 for 您的 GitHub Enterprise Server 实例 before you can use this feature. For more information, see "Configuring 代� �扫描 for your appliance."
About alerts from 代� �扫描
You can set up 代� �扫描 to check the code in a repository using the default CodeQL analysis, a third-party analysis, or multiple types of analysis. When the analysis is complete, the resulting alerts are displayed alongside each other in the security view of the repository. Results from third-party tools or from custom queries may not include all of the properties that you see for alerts detected by GitHub's default CodeQL analysis. For more information, see "Setting up 代� �扫描 for a repository."
By default, 代� �扫描 analyzes your code periodically on the default branch and during pull requests. For information about managing alerts on a pull request, see "Triaging 代� �扫描 alerts in pull requests."
About alert details
Each alert highlights a problem with the code and the name of the tool that identified it. You can see the line of code that triggered the alert, as well as properties of the alert, such as the alert severity and the nature of the problem. Alerts also tell you when the issue was first introduced. For alerts identified by CodeQL analysis, you will also see information on how to fix the problem.
If you set up 代� �扫描 using CodeQL, you can also find data-flow problems in your code. Data-flow analysis finds potential security issues in code, such as: using data insecurely, passing dangerous arguments to functions, and leaking sensitive information.
When 代� �扫描 reports data-flow alerts, GitHub shows you how data moves through the code. 代� �扫描 allows you to identify the areas of your code that leak sensitive information, and that could be the entry point for attacks by malicious users.
About severity levels
Alert severity levels may be Error, Warning, or Note.
If 代� �扫描 is enabled as a pull request check, the check will fail if it detects any results with a severity of error.
About labels for alerts that are not found in application code
GitHub Enterprise Server assigns a category label to alerts that are not found in application code. The label relates to the location of the alert.
- Generated: Code generated by the build process
- Test: Test code
- Library: Library or third-party code
- Documentation: Documentation
代� �扫描 categorizes files by file path. You cannot manually categorize source files.
Here is an example from the 代� �扫描 alert list of an alert marked as occurring in library code.
On the alert page, you can see that the filepath is marked as library code (Library label).
