GitHub Security Gate Workflows for APVISO Pentests
Use APVISO with GitHub workflows to trigger pentests after deployments, create issues, and verify security fixes.
Workflow Triggers
- Staging deployment succeeds
- Release branch is cut
- Security fix is merged
Workflow Steps
Trigger scan
A GitHub Actions workflow calls APVISO after a staging or production-like deployment.
Create issue
Confirmed findings become GitHub issues with labels, severity, and evidence.
Verify fix
A retest runs after remediation and updates the issue with pass or fail status.
Expected Outcomes
- Release-aware pentesting
- Developer-native findings
- Fix verification before rollout
Workflow Guide
GitHub is where many application changes become real. Connecting APVISO to GitHub workflows lets teams test deployed code at the moment security feedback matters most.
A typical flow triggers APVISO after a staging deployment, waits for confirmed findings, opens GitHub issues for vulnerabilities, and retests fixes after pull requests merge. This gives developers feedback in the same system they use for code review and release work.
The workflow should be tuned carefully. Early teams can run scans as advisory checks, then enforce stricter gates for Critical or High findings once ownership, target scoping, and retest behavior are predictable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should APVISO block every deployment?▾
Most teams start by alerting on findings and later gate only Critical or High issues once ownership and tuning are mature.
Can GitHub issues include reproduction steps?▾
Yes. APVISO findings include evidence, affected endpoints, reproduction detail, and remediation guidance suitable for GitHub issues.
