Just had a breakthrough in our vulnerability management workflow and had to share. We've been using Aqua for a while, and while the dashboards are great, getting critical fixes prioritized by dev teams was still a manual, nagging process.
I finally dove into Aqua's API docs and realized you can pipe the scan results directly into Jira. Now, any critical or high severity vulnerability that pops up in our container scans automatically creates a Jira ticket in the relevant project. The ticket includes the CVE, the affected image, and a link back to Aqua for full details. It's cut our mean time to acknowledgment for critical issues from days to basically minutes.
The setup was surprisingly straightforward. You essentially set up a webhook in Aqua to trigger on new critical findings, then a small middleware script (we used a simple Python service) to format the payload and create the issue via Jira's API. The key is mapping the Aqua severity to your Jira priority fields and pulling the image name and registry from the event data.
Has anyone else set up something similar? I'm curious if you're filtering for specific registries or only certain asset tags, and whether you've integrated it with Slack or Teams alerts for an extra nudge. This feels like a game-changer for closing the loop between security findings and developer action.
