If you're using [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md), you can analyze your source code for known
vulnerabilities using Static Application Security Testing (SAST). GitLab checks the SAST report and
compares the found vulnerabilities between the source and target branches.
Details of the vulnerabilities found are included in the merge request. **(ULTIMATE)**

If you're using [GitLab CI/CD](../../../ci/README.md), you can use Static Application Security
Testing (SAST) to check your source code for known vulnerabilities. When a pipeline completes,
the results of the SAST analysis are processed and shown in the pipeline's Security tab. If the
pipeline is associated with a merge request, the SAST analysis is compared with the results of
the target branch's analysis (if available). The results of that comparison are shown in the merge
request. **(ULTIMATE)** If the pipeline is running from the default branch, the results of the SAST
analysis are available in the [security dashboards](../security_dashboard/index.md).
