hello @SSingh200244 (Community Member)
Let see if I can help you with these dubts.
Greenligth - Is a SAST plugin tool from Veracode that works whitin a IDE like: Visual Studio, Eclipse, Intellij and VSCode, analysing source codes that you are developing. The context of Greenlight is small packages, classes or pool of files that not exceed 15 mb. With that plugin you can discover some CWEs vulnerabilities at begin of coding, and remediating as soon as possible. Currently Greentight support (Java, JavaScript, TypeScript and C#)

An Active Greenlight would be, start a scan on demand, it means, you start a scan by yourself. On the other hand, passive Greenlight would be scan automatically when you change your code and save the changes.

Pipeline Scan
Is a SAST scan tool that can analyse your entire application to find all vulnerabilities within your app and deliver information in text format. You can run pipeline scan on whatever CMD terminal like (CMD windows, linux or MAC) or into you CI/CD process (very recommended)
Different of Greenlight, Pipeline scan can find a several vulnerabilities scanning your entire app. Pipeline Scan was designed to be very fast, delivering scan results within 90 seconds on avarege (depending of the size or complexity of you app).
