MobSF (Pro)
On this page
The MobSF connector uses the Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) REST API to import mobile application (APK/IPA) static-analysis results. DefectDojo discovers every app that has been scanned on your MobSF instance and creates a Record for each one, then imports that app’s static-analysis findings.
Prerequisites
You will need your MobSF REST API key. Find it on the MobSF home page under API (also shown in the MobSF docs as the Authorization value). The key is sent on every request and is never logged.
Connector Mappings
- Enter your MobSF base URL in the Location field (for example
https://mobsf.example.com). - In the Secret field, enter the MobSF REST API key.
- Optionally, set a Minimum Severity to limit which findings are imported.
DefectDojo maps each scanned app to a Record and imports its findings from the MobSF JSON report across several sections — application permissions, code analysis, the signing certificate, the Android manifest, Android API usage and binary analysis. Each finding is tagged with CWE 919 (mobile), and its severity comes from MobSF’s own rating (high, warning, info, secure/good) — a dangerous permission is treated as High. Findings are recorded as static findings and de-duplicated on the scan, section, title, severity and file path.
See the MobSF REST API documentation for more information.
