PHP Application Analysis

Evaluation: Source code and manifest analysis

PHP scanning supports coordinate-based matching of PHP dependencies found in the composer.lock file for packages coming from the Packagist ecosystem.  For the best results, we recommend generating and scanning the composer.lock file.

What is supported

• Files named composer.lock (a JSON file generated by PHP composer) will be analyzed.
• Drupal core and its components when installed using Composer.

What do we parse from the file?

Only top-level dependencies (specified under the "packages" group) are evaluated, for example:

{
  "packages": [
    {
      "name": "bower-asset/bootstrap",
      "version": "v3.2.0"
    }
}

Steps to analyze using the Nexus IQ CLI

Invoke a Nexus IQ CLI scan of a directory or subdirectories containing a composer.lock file. 

Example composer.lock file (file is edited for clarity)

{
  "hash": "8ca6b6b80bab36b5287b4292abee988f",
  "packages": [
    {
      "name": "bower-asset/bootstrap",
      "version": "v3.2.0",
      "source": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap.git",
        "reference": "c068162161154a4b85110ea1e7dd3d7897ce2b72"
      }
    },
	{
      "name": "bower-asset/jquery",
      "version": "2.1.1",
      "source": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "https://github.com/jquery/jquery.git",
        "reference": "4dec426aa2a6cbabb1b064319ba7c272d594a688"
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "components/jqueryui",
      "version": "1.11.4"
    }
  ]
}

Steps to analyze using the Jenkins plugin

By default, the Jenkins plugin will not evaluate the composer.lock file. A custom Scan Target is needed.

nexusPolicyEvaluation iqApplication: 'SampApp', iqScanPatterns: [[scanPattern: '**/composer.lock']], iqStage: 'build'

To find more information on how to configure Jenkins please go to the Nexus Platform Plugin for Jenkins.

Steps to analyze using the Bamboo plugin

Bamboo Scan Targets control what files are examined.  To evaluate PHP, add composer.lock to the scan targets via "**/composer.lock".  To find more information on how to configure Bamboo please go to the Nexus IQ for Bamboo.
