Viewing Mend SAST scan results in Acunetix 360

After running a DAST scan of a target configured to retrieve Mend SAST scan results, you can view both the DAST scan results and the SAST scan results retrieved from Mend on the Scan Summary and Issues pages in Acunetix 360. You can also track individual issue history and view the scan results in other areas of Acunetix 360.

NOTE: The integration between Acunetix 360 and Mend SAST does NOT initiate a Mend SAST scan. Acunetix 360 will pull the latest SAST scan results from Mend for a mapped target and display the information in Acunetix 360 alongside the DAST scan results.

This document explains how to:

Scan Summary

To view Mend SAST scan results in the Scan Summary, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the Scan Summary page for a target you have scanned with Mend SAST enabled.
  • Select Scans > Recent Scans, then click Report next to the scan you want to view.

TIP: Scans that contain Mend SAST scan results have the Mend logo next to the target name on the Recent Scans page.  

  1. Select the Issues tab in the Technical Report section. The Mend SAST scan results for the target are listed below the DAST scan results.
  2. Click on a vulnerability to view more information.

  1. On the right, the Issue tab displays details from Mend for the selected vulnerability, and you have options to manage the results as you do for DAST scan results. For example:
  • URL: This is the file path and the line number where the SAST scan found the vulnerability. It is also a clickable link to the Mend finding.
  • Status: You can update the status of an issue as Accepted Risk, False Positive, or Fixed.
  • Send To: If you have integrated an issue tracker, you can assign issues to developers by clicking Send To and selecting your integrated issue tracker.
