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.

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.
