Static and dynamic testing each play a critical role in application security. SAST catches vulnerabilities before code ships, where fixes are cheapest. DAST identifies and validates exploitable vulnerabilities that exist in running applications.
But when SAST and DAST operate in silos, they create more work for both AppSec teams and developers. Developers face duplicate alerts without full context about a vulnerability’s path from code to runtime, which makes it hard to prioritize what to fix first. AppSec teams have to manually triage, trying to connect the dots between static findings and runtime behavior.
This disconnect doesn’t just create noise—it creates confusion about what actually matters and needs to be fixed.
Our newest integration solves this by correlating findings from Endor Labs’ AI-Native SAST with StackHawk DAST.
Endor Labs & StackHawk: Clarity from SAST to DAST
Endor Labs’ AI-Native SAST identifies code-level flaws, traces how untrusted input flows through the application, determines exploitability, and provides actionable remediation guidance to developers. StackHawk validates whether those vulnerabilities are discoverable and exploitable at runtime. Together, they solve the essential developer question: “What should I actually fix?”
By connecting Endor Labs’ code analysis with StackHawk’s runtime testing, teams can:
- Correlate findings between static and dynamic analysis to eliminate duplicate alerts
- Prioritize based on exploitability validated by both static analysis and dynamic evidence, not just CWE scores
- Expedite and validate fixes—catch issues in code, fix them, and confirm they’re resolved at runtime
How the Integration Works
The Endor Labs & StackHawk integration unifies vulnerability testing from code to runtime:
- Endor Labs’ AI-Native SAST scans your code, identifies vulnerabilities, and analyzes data flow to determine if untrusted input can reach sensitive functions
- StackHawk tests your running applications in CI/CD pipelines, identifying discoverable and exploitable vulnerabilities
- When the same vulnerability appears in both tools, StackHawk correlates the findings in a single alert with complete context—code location, runtime proof of exploitability, and remediation guidance from both tools
The result? One consolidated alert instead of two separate tickets to investigate.
Why SAST & DAST Correlation Matters Now
The strongest security programs use multiple tools that work together. SAST finds vulnerabilities early and evaluates risk based on how untrusted input flows through the code. DAST surfaces vulnerabilities through runtime testing to confirm discoverability and exploitability. The challenge has always been connecting these insights without creating more work for AppSec teams and developers.
As development accelerates—with AI-generated code expanding attack surfaces faster than teams can track—security tooling needs to deliver precision, not just coverage. Teams need automated correlation and clear prioritization built into their workflows, not more findings to manually investigate.
The Endor Labs + StackHawk integration delivers this: complementary tools working together to reduce noise and accelerate fixes, with automatic correlation that helps developers focus on what matters most.
