Nuclei (ProjectDiscovery Cloud) (Pro)
The Nuclei connector uses the ProjectDiscovery Cloud Platform (PDCP) REST API to pull nuclei scan results from your PDCP account. DefectDojo discovers every scan in the account and creates a separate Record for each scan.
Prerequisites
You will need a ProjectDiscovery Cloud API key. We recommend creating a dedicated service account for DefectDojo to clearly distinguish automated activity from manual team actions. Generate a key from Settings > API Key in the ProjectDiscovery Cloud UI (cloud.projectdiscovery.io). Results reach PDCP either from hosted scans or from the nuclei CLI run with -dashboard.
Connector Mappings
- Enter the PDCP API base URL in the Location field:
https://api.projectdiscovery.io. - Enter your API key in the Secret field.
- Optionally, enter a Team ID to scope the sync to a team workspace (found under Settings > Team). When left blank, DefectDojo syncs your personal workspace.
- Optionally, set a Minimum Severity to limit which findings are imported.
DefectDojo maps each PDCP scan as a separate Record and imports that scan’s findings across every severity, including informational.
