Info

The Kiuwan IDE Plug-In for Visual Studio Code is

...

It provides the following benefits:

  • Security Vulnerabilities Management- Kiuwan for Developers allows developers to access and fix security vulnerabilities such as Injection (SQL, XML, OS, etc), XSS, CSRF, etc., found by Kiuwan scans, right on their development IDEs.
  • Adoption of Security and Coding Standards – Ensuring the compliance of standards (CWE, OWASP, CERT-Java/C/C++, SANS-Top25, WASC, PCI-DSS, NIST, MISRA, BIZEC, ISO/IEC 25000 and ISO/IEC 9126) by a development department can be a long and tedious task without the support of some sort of tool that will facilitate and automate this work. This plugin connects with Kiuwan and harness the power of its security models and audits to enforce security standards and policies.
  • Full vulnerabilities documentation – Developers have access, right on their IDEs, to the full Kiuwan vulnerabilities documentation of any of the displayed vulnerabilities listed for the specific projects. This includes code samples on how to fix them in the same language of the project.

Viewing Kiuwan defects in VS Code

Once configured, just click on the Kiuwan icon to see the defects.

This 'tree of defects' is structured in two or three levels:

  1. Rule
    • The first level represents 'the rule' which generated the defect
    • If you select it, the bottom section Details will refresh its contents, showing important information about that rule. 
    • You can also right-click on it and select Show rule documentation in Kiuwan and K4D will open a new tab of your system web browser, pointing to Kiuwan, to show you all existing details about the rule. 
  2. Defect
    • The second level is populated with defects found of the selected rule. 
    • The Details section will now show information that affects only selected defect, and K4D will try and find the reported file and line among your local sources, to open it in a new editor tab. 
  3. Propagation path
    • The last level will show you all the locations of the code crossed by a security vulnerability, so you can track it, and neutralize it.
