Sending vulnerabilities manually to an issue tracking system

If you have configured an integration with an issue tracking system, such as Jira, GitHub, or Slack, you can send identified vulnerabilities from Acunetix 360 to that integration. This enables you to streamline the issue-fixing process, saves you time, and eases the developer's life. You can export issues manually and/or automatically.

This document provides instructions for manually sending issues from the Issues and Recent Scans pages in Acunetix 360.

TIP: For information about setting up an integration with an issue tracking system, refer to Integrating Acunetix 360 with an Issue Tracking System.

For information about automatically sending vulnerabilities after scanning has been completed, refer to Configuring Notifications to Report Vulnerabilities to an Issue Tracking System.

How to send vulnerabilities from Acunetix 360

There are two ways to manually send issues to integrated issue trackers from Acunetix 360: from the Issues page or the Recent Scans page. Refer to the relevant instructions below according to your preferred method.

IMPORTANT: To manually export an issue from the Issues or Recent Scans pages, its status must be Present, Revived, False Positive, or Accepted Risk. Alternatively, the state of the issue must be New, Not Fixed, or Revived. If this condition is not met, the No Action Required information pop-up will appear.

Sending vulnerabilities from the Issues page

  1. Select Issues > All Issues from the left-side menu.
  2. Click the checkbox next to each vulnerability you want to send.
  3. Click Send To, then select your issue tracker from the drop-down list of integrations.

A pop-up is displayed, with a link to the issue you have sent. If there is an error, this information will be displayed instead.

Sending vulnerabilities from the Recent Scans page

  1. Select Scans > Recent Scans from the left-side menu.
  2. Next to the relevant scan, select Report.
  3. Scroll down to the Technical Report section.
  4. From the list of detected vulnerabilities, select an issue and display its details.
  5. Click Send To, then select your issue tracker from the drop-down list of integrations.

  1. Once the issue has been imported into your issue tracking system, a notification will appear with a link for the issue number. Click OK to close the notification.

NOTE: You cannot export the same issue more than once.
