Official OWASP Zed Attack Proxy Jenkins Plugin

The OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is one of the world’s most popular free security tools and is actively maintained by hundreds of
international volunteers. It can help you automatically find security vulnerabilities in your web applications while you are developing and
testing your applications. It's also a great tool for experienced pen-testers to use for manual security testing.

The Official OWASP ZAP Jenkins Plugin extends the functionality of the ZAP security tool into a CI Environment.

• • Manage Sessions (Load or Persist)
  • Define Context (Name, Include URLs and Exclude URLs)
  • Attack Contexts (Spider Scan, AJAX Spider, Active Scan)

You can also:

• • Setup Authentication (Form Based or Script Based)
  • Run as Pre-Build as part of a Selenium Build
  • Generate Reports (.xhtml, .xml, .json)

ZAP as a part of a CI Environment

1. A Jenkins CI Build step initializes ZAP
2. Traffic flows (Regression Pack) through ZAP (Web Proxy)
3. ZAP modifies requests to include Vulnerability Tests
4. Target Application/Server sends Response back through ZAP
5. ZAP sends reporting data back to Jenkins
6. Jenkins publishes and archives the report(s)
7. Jenkins creates JIRA tickets for the alerts

Tech

ZAP Jenkins plugin uses a number of open source plugins to work properly:

• • ZAP API – A REST API which allows you to interact with ZAP programmatically.

And of course the Official ZAP Jenkins plugin is open source with a public repository on GitHub

Questions/Troubleshooting

Please use the Google Group for any questions about using the plugin.

Notice:

• Include the following:

  • Java version
  • Jenkins version
  • ZAP version
  • ZAP Jenkins Plugin version
  • Firefox version (if running AJAX Spider or a Selenium build)
  • Selenium (if applicable)

• Upload copies of the zap.log files and a copy of the console output of the Jenkins log to pastebin.

• Jenkins is always running on a master, is ZAP running on the master as well or on a separate slave machine?

• Relevant Jenkins Job Configurations sanitized screenshots.
