Run JFrog Xray in CI

Scan on every push and upload the report as a workflow artifact:

- name: Install JFrog CLI
  run: curl -fL https://install-cli.jfrog.io | sh

- name: Configure JFrog CLI
  env:
    JFROG_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.JFROG_TOKEN }}
    JFROG_URL: ${{ secrets.JFROG_URL }}
  run: jf config add ci --url "$JFROG_URL" --access-token "$JFROG_TOKEN" --interactive=false

- name: Run Xray audit
  run: jf audit --format json > xray-audit.json

- name: Upload to Vulnetix
  run: vulnetix upload --file xray-audit.json

How Vulnetix compares: better together

Vulnetix does not replace JFrog Xray. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of JFrog Xray (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.

JFrog Xray is strongest at its core category and also carries features in Container & Image Scanning, SAST, Secret Scanning, IaC & Cloud Configuration, License Compliance, SBOM Generation, just as Vulnetix spans categories.

CapabilityVulnetixJFrog Xray
Security coverage
SAST (static code analysis)✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation~ Advanced Security SAST does cross-file semantic first-party code analysis
SCA / dependencies✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph✓ Core: continuous CVE/license scanning of dependencies and artefacts
DAST (dynamic testing)~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine✗
Container & image✓ Image CVEs, base image, Dockerfile✓ Container image scanning with contextual (exploitability) analysis
IaC / misconfiguration✓ Terraform, k8s, CloudFormation~ IaC (Terraform) misconfig scanning for AWS/Azure/GCP
Secret scanning✓ 1,000+ rules, source + binary + git history~ Secrets detection for keys/tokens/passwords in code and artefacts
Cloud / CSPM✓ Cloud-posture findings, compliance tab✗
Mobile (MAST)~ Ingests mobile scanner output; no native mobile engine✗
License compliance✓ SPDX, copyleft/AGPL/SSPL policy✓ License violation detection and policy
SBOM generation✓ CycloneDX 1.7 + SPDX 2.3, cosign-signable~ SBOM export from scanned artefacts
Malware / supply-chain✓ De-duplicated corpus + install-time firewall (25+ registries)~ Curation/Firewall blocks malicious/risky packages at the proxy
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~ Contextual analysis prioritises applicable CVEs; JFrog exploit maturity data
Reachability analysis✓ Tree-sitter + CVEAffected; direct/transitive/semantic~ Reachability analysis with evidence justifies flagged CVEs
Versioned VEX + audit trail✓ Immutable OpenVEX/CycloneDX, cosign-signable~ Applicability results align with VEX not_affected justifications
Safe Harbour autofix✓ Resolves + applies the nearest safe version~ Remediation guidance and version recommendations
End-of-life policy✓ Flags/blocks past-EOL runtimes & packages✗
SSVC / risk-based policy✓ SSVC v2 + CISA/FedRAMP/Essential-8 presets✗

What JFrog Xray does well

Where Vulnetix adds to it: JFrog Xray is broad but Artifactory-centric: its power is greatest for artefacts flowing through the JFrog Platform. Vulnetix is repo- and scanner-agnostic and layers on top: it ingests Xray's SCA, SAST, secrets, IaC and container findings and dedupes them with results from other scanners (Semgrep, Grype, cloud/CSPM, ingested DAST) into one prioritised queue no single vendor owns. Vulnetix adds cloud/CSPM natively, a broader exploit-intel stack (EPSS, KEV, Coalition ESS, CWSS, Vulnetix LEV), immutable versioned VEX with audit, EOL and SSVC policy, and Safe Harbour autofix across the whole estate rather than only JFrog-hosted artefacts.

No migration, no rip-and-replace. JFrog Xray keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.

Centralise JFrog Xray results in Vulnetix

Upload JFrog Xray JSON, SARIF, CycloneDX, SPDX 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.
