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. Select Policies & Rules from the left sidebar.

2. Select SAST RULES.

3. Click on the vertical three dots 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\>-\<Clone number\>. For example, the first clone of Arbitrary Code Execution - Unsanitized inputs becomes Arbitrary Code Execution - Unsanitized inputs Clone, with subsequent clones appended with Clone 1, Clone 2, etc.

   

4. Select Edit to edit the cloned rule according to your requirements.

   See Edit a SAST Rule for more information.
