Bridging the gap between security and development has never been easier.
We’re thrilled to introduce Escape’s advanced Jira integration!
Security teams can now automatically share actionable vulnerability information with pre-filled remediation steps in Jira, saving time and ensuring faster resolution. No more back-and-forth—your developers can hit the ground running with the fix already in hand.
Why this matters
The integration not only sends detailed vulnerability information but also automatically includes tailored remediation code snippets directly within the Jira ticket.
This is a game-changer for several reasons:
- Immediate Action for Developers
Developers no longer need to analyze long reports or figure out how to address a vulnerability. The inclusion of remediation code means they can begin implementing the fix immediately. This reduces the risk of misinterpretation and frees developers to focus on applying secure, correct solutions. - Accelerated Remediation Cycles
With ready-to-use code provided in the ticket, the time spent from identifying a vulnerability to resolving it is drastically reduced. Security and development teams can move quickly, closing the gap between detection and remediation, which is especially critical in high-stakes environments where vulnerabilities can have severe consequences. - Consistency in Fixes
Providing the exact remediation steps eliminates inconsistencies that can occur when different developers interpret vulnerability information in various ways. This ensures a standardized, high-quality fix across the board, reducing security risks due to improper patching. - Improved Collaboration
By automatically providing developers with the necessary remediation framework and code, the integration strengthens the collaboration between security and development teams. Developers receive actionable, context-rich tickets with all the necessary details—streamlining communication and preventing delays caused by incomplete or unclear information.
Getting Started:
- Login to the Escape UI and navigate to Integrations.
- Select Jira.
- Click New Integration and confirm the Authorization request.
- Give your integration a name for easy identification.
- Enter your Jira instance URL (e.g.,
https://escape.atlassian.net/). - Attach relevant Tags to ensure proper linkage with applications in Escape.
You can create as many integrations as you wish for each application label.
How to Create a New Jira Ticket:
- Go to Tested Applications in Escape.
- Select the application with the relevant vulnerability.
- In the Issues Tab, click on the issue you need to address.
- Choose the appropriate Remediation Framework.
- Click More, then go to the Ticketing Tab.
- Select the Project and Issue Type (Task or Asset).
- Add additional information to the auto-generated Summary. & Description (if necessary)
- Set a Due Date and click Create Ticket.

Once the ticket is created, you can view it directly in Jira using the See Ticket button. The ticket includes:
- Vulnerability name (e.g., Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA)).
- Curl Request(s) used
- Remediation steps
- Relevant code snippets tailored to framework
- Associated application labels
- Adjustable ticket priority
With this new integration, you should be able to accelerate your remediation process and keep your developers focused on what matters most—delivering secure applications faster. Try it out for yourself, and let us know what you think in our Slack community!
