AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . continuum ]

create-code-finding

Description

Ingests a customer-supplied security finding into an environment. Continuum validates the document synchronously against the required overlay fields for the declared format; invalid documents are rejected with a ValidationException. The maximum accepted document size is 256 KB. The environment must have a source configured, and the finding must identify a code location so Continuum can tie it to a repository in the environment’s build. Continuum assigns a findingId and stores the verbatim document. When no successful build yet contains the finding’s repository, the finding stays SUBMITTED until the next successful build; if that build does not contain it either, the finding is DISCARDED with discardReason SOURCE_REPO_NOT_FOUND.

See also: AWS API Documentation

create-code-finding uses document type values. Document types follow the JSON data model where valid values are: strings, numbers, booleans, null, arrays, and objects. For command input, options and nested parameters that are labeled with the type document must be provided as JSON. Shorthand syntax does not support document types.

Options

--environment-id (string) [required]

The environment to ingest the finding into.

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 64
  • pattern: [a-z0-9]+

--ocsf-document (document) [required]

The OCSF finding document to ingest, verbatim. Must declare a class_uid Continuum supports (2002 Vulnerability Finding, or 2007 Application Security Posture Finding) and validate against the vendored OCSF JSON Schema for that class, including the Continuum overlay requirements that finding_info.uid be present and that vulnerabilities[0].affected_code[0].file identify the code location. With several repositories in the environment, the file path must begin with the repository name. Maximum size 256 KB. Stored verbatim and normalized into the typed Finding members returned by GetCodeFinding. GetCodeFinding does not return the document itself.

JSON Syntax:

{...}

--client-token (string)

Caller-provided idempotency token. A retry with the same token and an identical finding document replays the original result; the same token with different content is rejected.

Constraints:

  • min: 1
  • max: 128
  • pattern: [!-~]+

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream
  • off

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--cli-error-format (string)

The formatting style for error output. By default, errors are displayed in enhanced format.

  • legacy
  • json
  • yaml
  • text
  • table
  • enhanced

Output
