SAST (Static Application Security Testing)

Read more about this feature here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/

Configure SAST with CI/CD variables (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/variables/index.html). List of available variables: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/index.html#available-cicd-variables

Usage

You should add this component to an existing .gitlab-ci.yml file by using the include: keyword.

include:
  - component: gitlab.com/components/sast/sast@<VERSION>

where <VERSION> is the latest released tag or main.

If you are converting the configuration to use components and want to leverage the existing variable $SAST_DISABLED you could conditionally include the component using the variable:

include:
  - component: gitlab.com/components/sast/sast@main
    rules:
      - if: $SAST_DISABLED == "true" || $SAST_DISABLED == "1"
        when: never
      - when: always

Otherwise all SAST jobs will always run when applicable.

This assumes SAST_DISABLED variable is already defined in .gitlab-ci.yml with either 'true' or '1' as the value.
