docs(import): publish the DISA STIG checklist docs on the patch line - #15674
Merged
Conversation
…lk (#15571) Documents the DISA STIG Checklist scan type: the two STIG Viewer formats it reads, how the four checklist statuses become finding states, how DISA categories and assessor severity overrides map to severity, what each finding carries, and how findings are identified. Two points get more than a passing mention because they change how someone organizes their imports. Findings are identified by V-number *on the assessed asset*, so the same rule failing on two hosts stays two findings and a STIG release upgrade keeps history. And closing on re-import is driven by an item's absence from the report, so a test holding several assets' checklists needs Close Old Findings turned off. On the compliance side, STIG rules cite CCIs rather than naming controls, so control coverage gains a section on the CCI crosswalk, the precedence between mapping sources, and the fact that the backfill command now runs both passes. The compliance profile's configuration-test-types note gains the STIG case, including why it is not switched on for you.

Publishes the DISA STIG checklist documentation on the patch line.
These pages were written against
dev(#15571), but the Pro feature they document already ships onthe patch line, so as things stand the docs would not publish until the next minor release and
docs.defectdojo.com/import_data/pro/specialized_import/stig_checklists/stays a 404 for users whoalready have the scan type. This is a cherry-pick of that commit onto
bugfix.What it contains:
import_data/pro/specialized_import/stig_checklists.md): thetwo STIG Viewer formats the scan type reads (
.ckland.cklb, detected from content rather thanextension), how the four checklist statuses become finding states, how DISA categories and
assessor severity overrides map to severity, what each finding carries, identification by V-number
on the assessed asset, and how to organize checklists for more than one asset.
disagree, and the backfill command now running both passes (
--skip-scanner-refs,--skip-crosswalk).you.
One conflict on cherry-pick, in
control_coverage.md:bugfixalready carries the Asset relabelwording ("scan every active finding instead of one Asset") where the
devversion still said"product". Resolved by keeping the
bugfixwording and adding the crosswalk sentences on top. Theflags named on the page are verified against the command as it exists on this line.
