Clone a SAST rule

You can clone an existing SAST rule and use that as a base to build your own rule.

Cloning a rule provides the following benefits:

• You can make changes to a rule and review the results instead of directly editing an existing rule.
• You can create a clone of a rule that you do not have permission to edit and make your changes.

To clone a SAST rule:

1. From the left sidebar, navigate to Policies and Rules and select SAST RULES.

2. Click on the three dots menu next to a rule and select Clone.

   A copy of the rule appears in the list of rules with the rule name in the format, <original rule name\>-\<number of the clone\>. For example, if you clone the rule Arbitrary Code Execution - Unsanitized inputs for the first time, a clone rule is created with the name, Arbitrary Code Execution - Unsanitized inputs-1.

   

3. Click the edit button next to the cloned rule to edit the cloned rule according to your requirements.
