GitHub Issues Integration with DefectDojo
GitHub Issues is the issue tracker built into every GitHub repository. DefectDojo Pro pushes Findings and Finding Groups to GitHub as issues, so developers see security fixes where they already track work.
Data Granularity: What Gets Imported
The following fields are captured from GitHub Issues results and surfaced in DefectDojo findings:
| Field | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Finding name from the scan | Matched to the tool's own naming |
| Severity | Critical / High / Medium / Low / Info | Mapped from the tool's own severity scale |
| Description | Finding detail from the report | Includes what the issue is and why it matters |
| Mitigation | Remediation guidance | Where the tool provides it |
