Conversation
Severity: HIGH Vulnerability: The SAST (Static Application Security Testing) job was misconfigured in `.gitlab-ci.yml` and was not running. This was due to an incorrect `stages` definition and improper inclusion of the SAST template. Impact: Without the SAST scanner, the codebase was not being automatically checked for a wide range of static analysis security vulnerabilities. This created a significant blind spot in the security posture, allowing potential vulnerabilities to go undetected. Fix: Corrected the `.gitlab-ci.yml` by: 1. Defining the full list of stages: `build`, `test`, and `deploy`. 2. Moving the `include` for `Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml` to the top level, which is the correct syntax. This change ensures the SAST scanner is properly integrated and executed within the CI/CD pipeline, strengthening the project's automated security defenses.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe GitLab CI pipeline configuration was restructured by removing the SAST job from the test stage, introducing a new top-level deploy stage, and relocating the Security/SAST include directive to the root-level include section. Changes

- Around line 9-10: Update the included CI template path in .gitlab-ci.yml from
"Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml" to the new "Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml" so the SAST
jobs are injected into the pipeline; ensure the include entry (the list item
referencing the template) is replaced accordingly so SAST jobs appear in the
test stage and the existing SAST_IMAGE_SUFFIX variable continues to take effect.

GitLab CI include directive syntax rules 2025
💡 Result:
Summary — GitLab CI "include" syntax rules (current docs as of 2025)
-
Supported include forms (each item may be a single string or a map): local, project (file in another project), file (legacy name for project/file), remote (URL), template, and component (component templates with @Version). You can also use a single string (treated as local or remote). (docs.gitlab.com)
-
Array or single item: include may be a single value or an array of items; array entries may mix different types. (docs.gitlab.com)
-
Fields per include item:
- local: path in same repo (root-relative).
- project / file: project path, ref, file.
- remote: URL.
- template: built-in template name.
- component: component-identifier with @Version. (docs.gitlab.com)
-
Variable expansion: limited — only certain predefined variables (e.g., CI_PROJECT_* family, CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH, GITLAB_FEATURES) are reliably expanded; arbitrary variables are not generally supported. There are open issues requesting broader variable use. (dds.uel.br)
-
Conditional includes: include items may have rules (supported rule keywords: if and exists). rules:changes and many other rules are not supported for include. Nested includes are allowed. Note: includes evaluated at config parse time (some pipeline variables are unavailable). (docs.gitlab.co.jp)
-
Local include constraints: local files must be tracked on the same branch as .gitlab-ci.yml; submodule paths are not supported. (balticlsc.eu)
-
Limitations/notes: needs: cannot create dependencies to jobs defined only via include:local with rules (known behavior); some behaviors depend on GitLab version (features stabilized in 14.x and later). Check your GitLab server docs/version for exact behavior. (dds.uel.br)
If you want, I can fetch the exact docs for your GitLab version (self-managed or gitlab.com) and list example snippets.

🌐 Web query:
GitLab SAST template security jobs default stage
💡 Result:
The SAST template's jobs run in the test stage by default (stage: test). If you define custom stages, include a test stage (or override the jobs’ stage) to avoid pipeline errors. [1][2]

💡 Result:
No — as of 2025 the supported GitLab-managed SAST template is Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml (use include: - template: Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml). See GitLab docs. [1][2]

GitLab CI SAST template historical "Security/SAST" vs "Jobs/SAST" path change
💡 Result:
Short answer: GitLab moved the SAST CI template from Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml into the Jobs/ namespace (Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml) as part of a templates reorganization (proposal/implementation noted June 2021). Current GitLab docs and templates use include: - template: Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml; older docs/examples still reference Security/SAST for backwards compatibility or transitional notes. [1][2]
Notes and actionable items:
- Use include: - template: Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml in modern GitLab versions. [2]
- If you need to stabilize behavior during an upgrade, you can pin a specific template release via a raw remote URL (example in docs). [3]
- The move/plan is documented in the GitLab issue tracking the change (move Security/.gitlab-ci.yml → Jobs/). [1]
Sources:
- GitLab issue describing moving Security/SAST → Jobs (implementation plan, Jun 2021). [1]
- GitLab SAST docs showing the current include path: Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml. [2]
- Troubleshooting / pinning older template example (use remote raw URL to specific tag). [3]
Fix SAST template path: use Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml instead of Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml.
The template path Security/SAST.gitlab-ci.yml has been deprecated and moved to the Jobs/ namespace since June 2021. Using the outdated path will likely result in SAST jobs not being injected into the pipeline, causing security scanning to not run at all.
Update line 10 to:
- template: Jobs/SAST.gitlab-ci.ymlAfter this fix, SAST jobs should appear in the test stage, and the SAST_IMAGE_SUFFIX: '-fips' variable at line 2 will properly enable FIPS-compliant scanning.
