Abstract
A vulnerability with respect to an image file in a continuous integration (CI) pipeline can be suppressed according to some aspects described herein. For example, a processor can receive an alert for the vulnerability with the CI pipeline being able to block deployment of the image file in response to the alert. Based on the alert, the processor can determine that the vulnerability of the image file is deferrable. After determining that the vulnerability is deferrable, the processor can automatically adjust a status of the vulnerability from an observed state to a deferred state. The CI pipeline can allow the deployment of the image file based on the status of the vulnerability being in the deferred state. The processor can deploy the image file in the CI pipeline after adjusting the status of the vulnerability to the deferred state.
