Repositories

The Repositories page displays the number of vulnerabilities detected per repository, categorized by severity levels. You can drill down into the detected vulnerabilities by clicking on a vulnerability count link and access the sensitive data map for each repository through the Data Elements section. Additionally, each repository is assigned a "Risk Score" based on the sensitivity of the data being processed. For instance, a repository handling Social Security Numbers would be rated as critical due to processing highly sensitive data elements.

The code repositories will show up as long as a scan, triggered either via CLI or in a CI pipeline, includes the HOUNDDOG_API_KEY environment variable and the flag --upload-scan-results is enabled (which is the default).

You can delete a code repository by clicking on the delete icon. This action will remove all associated data, including ignored vulnerabilities and sensitive data occurrences. If you run a new scan for the deleted repository, the cloud platform will rediscover it without any of the previously applied actions.

Additionally, for repositories imported via the Managed Scans feature, you can edit individual repository settings by clicking on the settings icon. This allows you to configure the scan frequency, specify files to skip, and select default branches to display on the Repositories page.
