Integrate 42Crunch with Vulnetix. Audit OpenAPI definitions for security issues and export SARIF results.
How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace 42Crunch. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of 42Crunch (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
42Crunch is strongest at its core category and also carries features in SAST, just as Vulnetix spans categories.
| Capability | Vulnetix | 42Crunch |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ~ API Audit is static analysis of the OpenAPI definition (300+ checks), not general source-code SAST |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ✗ |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ✓ Conformance Scan runs live, spec-crafted dynamic tests against the running API |
| Container & image | ✓ Image CVEs, base image, Dockerfile | ✗ |
| IaC / misconfiguration | ✓ Terraform, k8s, CloudFormation | ✗ |
| Secret scanning | ✓ 1,000+ rules, source + binary + git history | ✗ |
| Cloud / CSPM | ✓ Cloud-posture findings, compliance tab | ✗ |
| Mobile (MAST) | ~ Ingests mobile scanner output; no native mobile engine | ✗ |
| License compliance | ✓ SPDX, copyleft/AGPL/SSPL policy | ✗ |
| SBOM generation | ✓ CycloneDX 1.7 + SPDX 2.3, cosign-signable | ✗ |
| Malware / supply-chain | ✓ De-duplicated corpus + install-time firewall (25+ registries) | ✗ |
| Network / infra vuln | ~ Ingests network scanner output; no native network scanner | ✗ |
| Fuzzing | ✗ Ingests fuzzing crashes; no native fuzzer | ✗ |
| Pentest / bug bounty | ✗ Ingests pentest/bug-bounty findings; not a testing service | ✗ |
| The Vulnetix orchestration layer | ||
| Cross-scanner dedup & one queue (ASPM) | ✓ Correlates every scanner into one prioritised queue with ownership routing | ✗ |
| Exploit-intel prioritisation | ✓ EPSS, CISA KEV, Coalition ESS, CWSS, Vulnetix LEV | ✗ |
| Reachability analysis | ✓ Tree-sitter + CVEAffected; direct/transitive/semantic | ✗ |

What 42Crunch does well
- Deep API-first security: 300+ static checks on OpenAPI/Swagger definitions covering auth, authorization and data-constraint best practices
- Conformance Scan generates spec-driven dynamic tests targeted at each API's design, catching OWASP API Top 10, improper response codes and schema violations
- Spec-based micro-firewall (API Protect) enforces the OpenAPI contract at runtime as positive-security protection
- Broad CI/CD reach (GitHub, GitLab, Azure Pipelines, Jenkins, Bitbucket, Tekton) with native SARIF into GitHub code-scanning alerts
Where Vulnetix adds to it: 42Crunch is a specialist API-security engine; Vulnetix has no native DAST or API-conformance testing engine, so it ingests and orchestrates 42Crunch's SARIF output rather than running those tests itself. On top, Vulnetix deduplicates 42Crunch findings with results from SAST, SCA, IaC, container, secrets, cloud and malware scanners into one queue, prioritised by exploit intelligence (EPSS, CISA KEV, ESS, LEV), with reachability context, immutable versioned VEX, SSVC and Safe Harbour autofix. Better together: 42Crunch tests the APIs, Vulnetix consolidates and risk-ranks the results.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. 42Crunch keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise 42Crunch results in Vulnetix
Upload 42Crunch SARIF output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
