Integrate SwiftLint with Vulnetix. Enforce Swift coding conventions and catch potential issues, then upload JSON results for centralised tracking.
Install & scan
$ # macOS via Homebrew (recommended) brew install swiftlint # Or download binary from GitHub Releases # https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint/releases/latest $ swiftlint lint --reporter json > swiftlint.json
Run SwiftLint in CI
Scan on every push and upload the report as a workflow artifact:
- name: Run SwiftLint
runs-on: macos-latest
run: |
brew install swiftlint
swiftlint lint --reporter json > swiftlint.json
- name: Upload to Vulnetix
run: vulnetix upload --file swiftlint.json
How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace SwiftLint. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of SwiftLint (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
| Capability | Vulnetix | SwiftLint |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ~ Static Swift analysis focused on style/quality and structural rules (some bug-catching via analyze); not a security scanner. Source: realm.github.io/SwiftLint |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ✗ |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ✗ |
| 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 | ✗ |

| Reachability analysis | ✓ Tree-sitter + CVEAffected; direct/transitive/semantic | ✗ |
| Versioned VEX + audit trail | ✓ Immutable OpenVEX/CycloneDX, cosign-signable | ✗ |

What SwiftLint does well
- 200+ rules enforcing the Swift API Design Guidelines and community conventions, with per-rule configurable severities and custom regex rules
- --fix autocorrect plus a type-aware `analyze` command that uses compiler output for deeper checks
- Broad reporter support including native SARIF, checkstyle, codeclimate, sonarqube, junit and github-actions-logging for CI integration
- First-class Xcode build-phase integration and CI tooling (Fastlane, Docker) used across most iOS/macOS projects
Where Vulnetix adds to it: Vulnetix ingests SwiftLint's SARIF/checkstyle output into one prioritised ASPM queue and does not run Swift style analysis itself; its built-in SAST (rules + Semgrep) covers security weaknesses in code but does not replace SwiftLint's Swift convention enforcement. Better together: SwiftLint keeps iOS/macOS code clean, Vulnetix adds dedup, EPSS/KEV exploit-intel and versioned VEX on top.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. SwiftLint keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise SwiftLint results in Vulnetix
Upload SwiftLint 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.
