Retrieving Mend SAST scan results
After setting up an integration between Acunetix 360 and Mend SAST, you need to enable Acunetix 360 to retrieve SAST scan results from Mend by configuring the scan settings/scan profile for the targets you mapped to Mend projects. This allows you to view Mend SAST scan results alongside your Acunetix 360 DAST scan results on the Scan Summary and Issues pages, as well as other areas in 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 configure the scan settings/scan profile for a target to retrieve SAST scan results from Mend.
Preparation
Ensure the following steps have been completed before configuring the scan settings/scan profile for a target:
- Follow the instructions in our Integrating Acunetix 360 with Mend SAST documentation to connect your Acunetix 360 and Mend accounts.
- Ensure the target you will scan is mapped to a Mend project in your Mend integration.
- To check this, go to Integrations > Manage Integrations and click Edit next to your Mend integration listed in the Integrations table.
- The target should be listed on the left side of the Target Mapping section, and the corresponding Mend projects should be on the right.
- If the target is missing, click Add Mapping, then add the target on the left and the corresponding Mend projects on the right. Then click Save.
How to configure scan settings to retrieve SAST scan results from Mend
You can configure the Mend SAST scan setting when creating a new scan or scheduled scan, or when creating a new scan profile or editing an existing scan profile. Follow the steps below to enable retrieval of Mend SAST scan results in the scan settings/scan profile of a target:
- Navigate to the New Scan configuration page for your target using one of the methods below according to your preference:
- New scan: Scans > New Scan
- New scheduled scan: Scheduling > Schedule Scan
- New scan profile: Scans > Scan Profiles > + New Profile
- Edit an existing scan profile: Scans > Scan Profiles > Edit
- Select your Target URL.
- In the Scan Settings section, select Mend SAST.
- Click the checkbox next to Mend SAST. The Mend Projects that are connected to the target will appear.
TIP: You can amend the projects mapped to a target by editing the Mend integration. Go to Integrations > Manage Integrations and click Edit next to your Mend integration listed in the Integrations table. |
- Complete the remaining Scan Options as outlined in Acunetix 360 Scan Options Fields.
- Click Launch to start the new scan, or Save Profile if you are creating a new scan profile, or Update Profile if you are editing an existing scan profile.
The scan profile can now retrieve Mend SAST scan results. The next time you run a scan on this target with this scan profile, the latest Mend SAST scan results will automatically be added to the Scan Summary and Issues pages in Acunetix 360.
