SKF Integration with DefectDojo
Security Knowledge Framework (SKF) is an OWASP flagship project and open-source Python-Flask web application that uses the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) to train developers in writing secure code by design through security requirements management, interactive learning labs, and knowledge base articles with code examples in multiple programming languages. The platform enables development teams to integrate security into the software development lifecycle by providing manageable projects with security checklists, best practice guidance for preventing common vulnerabilities, containerized practice labs for hands-on learning, and comprehensive knowledge base articles that correlate to ASVS controls with detailed attack vectors, mitigation strategies, and secure coding patterns across various frameworks and languages.
Data Granularity: What Gets Imported
The following fields are captured from SKF 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 |
