Description

Issue

Currently the configuration items for the Template Analyzer through this app are defined here.

There is no way to add rule exclusions. This is useful in the case where some of the rules might not apply and we don't want them to fail the pipeline.

On the Template Analyzer application directly it does have support for rule exclusions via a configuration file as documented here.

Suggestion

Include a way to define rule exclusions that can be passed to the template analyzer app. Alternatively provide a way to provide a configuration file to the app (this will make the tool much more flexible).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Template Analyzer configuration items in the linked Security DevOps wiki and the Template Analyzer documentation on customizing evaluation outputs. Determine how this extension currently passes configuration to the analyzer; the work is done when users can provide rule exclusions or a configuration file and excluded rules no longer fail the pipeline.
