Integrate StackHawk with Vulnetix. Run HawkScan against your running application in CI/CD, export SARIF findings, and upload to Vulnetix for unified vulnerability management.
Run StackHawk in CI
Scan on every push and upload the report as a workflow artifact:
- name: Start your application
run: docker compose up -d
- name: Wait for app
run: sleep 10
- name: Run HawkScan
uses: stackhawk/hawkscan-action@v2
with:
apiKey: ${{ secrets.HAWK_API_KEY }}
codeScanningAlerts: true
githubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace StackHawk. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of StackHawk (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
StackHawk is strongest at its core category and also carries features in Pentest, Bug Bounty & Vulnerability Disclosure, just as Vulnetix spans categories.
| Capability | Vulnetix | StackHawk |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ~ HawkAI performs source-code analysis, but only to discover API endpoints for scanning, not general static vulnerability detection. |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ✗ |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ✓ Core: developer-first dynamic app/API scanning (REST/GraphQL/gRPC/SOAP) run in CI/CD via CLI or Docker. |
| 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 | ~ Business-logic and attack-scenario testing supports pen-test-style validation; not a manual/bug-bounty offering. |
| 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 | ✗ |
| Versioned VEX + audit trail | ✓ Immutable OpenVEX/CycloneDX, cosign-signable | ✗ |
| Safe Harbour autofix | ✓ Resolves + applies the nearest safe version | ✗ |
| End-of-life policy | ✓ Flags/blocks past-EOL runtimes & packages | ✗ |
| SSVC / risk-based policy | ✓ SSVC v2 + CISA/FedRAMP/Essential-8 presets | ✗ |
✓ full · ~ partial · ✗ not covered
What StackHawk does well
- Developer-first, config-as-code DAST (YAML versioned with the app) that runs as a CLI/Docker container spun up per scan directly inside CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI)
- First-class modern API testing, REST (OpenAPI), GraphQL (introspection), gRPC, JSON-RPC and SOAP, with real authenticated requests and attack scenarios across the full API surface
- HawkAI source-code analysis discovers undocumented/shadow API endpoints so scans cover APIs traditional tools miss
- Oversight & Intelligence layer centralises testing-coverage visibility and tracks each vulnerability from discovery through validated remediation, plus PII/cardholder/health data identification
Where Vulnetix adds to it: Vulnetix ingests and orchestrates StackHawk's DAST/API findings into its unified backlog, it does not run dynamic or API scans itself. StackHawk excels at CI/CD-native API testing, and its Oversight layer tracks coverage and remediation within its own DAST results; Vulnetix supplies the broader ASPM layer beyond that: true cross-scanner dedup across SAST/SCA/container/IaC/secrets, EPSS/KEV/ESS/CWSS/LEV exploit-intel prioritisation, code-graph reachability, versioned VEX + audit, EOL/SSVC policy and Safe Harbour autofix.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. StackHawk keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise StackHawk results in Vulnetix
Upload StackHawk SARIF, JSON 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.
