# Bitbucket Pipelines

OX Security supports integration with Bitbucket Pipelines to scan code changes during development. This allows you to detect security issues before the code is merged or deployed.

## Prerequisites

* Bitbucket Pipelines must support running Docker image–based pipes.
* The `OX_BITBUCKET_FULL_COMMIT` variable must be set explicitly due to a known Bitbucket issue that causes `BITBUCKET_COMMIT` to be shortened. Without this, scans may fail.

## Required environment variables

| Variable     | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `OX_API_KEY` | [Your OX Security API key.](/scan-and-analyze-with-ox/scanning/scanning-ci-cd-pipelines/integrating-source-control-platforms/direct-source-control-pipeline-integration/creating-ci-cd-integration-key.md) |

## Optional environment variables

| Variable                   | Description                                                                   |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `OX_BITBUCKET_FULL_COMMIT` | Full commit SHA. Required due to Bitbucket’s short SHA issue.                 |
| `OX_OVERRIDE_BLOCKING`     | Set to `true` to allow the job to continue even if blocking issues are found. |
| `OX_TIMEOUT`               | Scan timeout (in minutes).                                                    |
| `OX_FAIL_ON_TIMEOUT`       | Set to `true` to fail the job if the scan times out.                          |
| `OX_FAIL_ON_ERROR`         | Set to `true` to fail the job if an infrastructure or network error occurs.   |

## Advanced environment variables

| Variable                    | Description                                                                 |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `OX_DISABLE_SSL_VALIDATION` | Disables SSL certificate validation for self-signed certs (on-premise use). |

### Integration Example (`bitbucket-pipelines.yml`)

```yaml
image: node:18

pipelines:
  pull-requests:
    main:
      - step:
          name: OX
          script:
            - export OX_BITBUCKET_FULL_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --verify $BITBUCKET_COMMIT 2>/dev/null)
            - pipe: docker://oxsecurity/ox-block-mode
              variables:
                OX_API_KEY: $OX_API_KEY
                OX_BITBUCKET_FULL_COMMIT: $OX_BITBUCKET_FULL_COMMIT
                # OX_OVERRIDE_BLOCKING: false
                # OX_TIMEOUT: 20
                # OX_FAIL_ON_TIMEOUT: false
                # OX_FAIL_ON_ERROR: false
```

> **Note:** The `OX_BITBUCKET_FULL_COMMIT` variable is required for proper scan functionality. Bitbucket's default `BITBUCKET_COMMIT` may return a short SHA and cause issues in scan context detection.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ox.security/scan-and-analyze-with-ox/scanning/scanning-ci-cd-pipelines/integrating-source-control-platforms/direct-source-control-pipeline-integration/bitbucket-pipelines.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
