Integrating a CI-driven scan with no dashboard with GitHub Actions - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger documents how to integrate a no-dashboard Burp Scanner scan with GitHub Actions, so scans run as a stage in an existing CI/CD pipeline and builds can fail when they meet an issue threshold. The scan can be configured with a configuration file, which the documentation says enables application logins and custom scan configurations.
What you should know: The setting that matters here is the issue threshold: it decides which builds break, so a threshold set too loosely lets vulnerable code ship while one set too tightly stalls the pipeline.
