Automatically scan code commits for vulnerabilities, generate security reports, and notify teams via Slack when issues are found.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub Actions

Trigger security scan on code push

Create a workflow that runs CodeQL analysis and SAST scanning whenever code is pushed to main branch. Configure the workflow to use GitHub's security scanning actions and set up rules for different vulnerability severity levels.

2

GitHub API

Extract security findings data

Use GitHub's REST API to pull security alert data from the repository's security tab. Format the vulnerability data including severity, location, and recommended fixes into a structured report format.

3

Slack

Send security alert to team channel

Configure Slack webhook integration to automatically post security findings to your designated security channel. Include vulnerability details, affected files, and direct links to GitHub for immediate action.
