Escape (Pro)

The Escape connector uses the Escape API to import API-security (DAST) findings. DefectDojo enumerates every organization the token can access and every application within each, creates a Record for each application that has a scan, and imports that application’s latest scan issues as findings — there is no per-application configuration.

Prerequisites

You will need an Escape API key, created in the Escape app under Settings → API keys. The key is sent in the Authorization: Key header and is never logged.

Connector Mappings

  1. Leave the Location field blank to use https://public.escape.tech/v2, or enter your Escape API host explicitly.
  2. Enter the Escape API key in the Secret field.
  3. Optionally, set a Minimum Severity to limit which findings are imported.

DefectDojo maps each application to a Record and each scan issue to a finding: the severity comes from Escape’s rating (Critical/High/Medium/Low), the CWE is carried over, the OWASP category and HTTP method become tags, the affected URL becomes the endpoint, and the remediation guidance is included. Findings are recorded as dynamic findings and de-duplicated on Escape’s issue id.

See the Escape API documentation for more information.
