DAST for Security Champions who turn findings into merged fixes
Your job is getting vulnerabilities fixed by developers who do not report to you. NightVision findings carry evidence a developer can verify.
Shorten the distance between a finding and a merge
Code Traceback: the finding lands in their code
On API scans backed by source discovery, a dynamic finding links straight to the file and line that defined the endpoint. The developer opens the ticket already in their editor, and the conversation moves from "prove it" to "reviewing now."
Explain with AI and Validate with Curl
Explain with AI gives any developer a plain-language walkthrough of the finding. Validate with Curl turns it into one command they can reproduce against the running app before writing the fix.
Agent-assisted changes, human review
A coding agent can use the evidence and available source context to propose a fix and rescan; the owning developer reviews and merges through normal repository controls.
“DevSecOps teams are more willing and able to shift DAST left if they have confidence that the tool will help them deploy more secure software products without losing time to market.”Katie Norton · Research Manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security, IDC
Findings that survive a skeptical developer
A champion program lives or dies on the first few findings developers check.
Evidence, not assertions
Request-level findings retain the HTTP exchange that triggered them, so skeptics get a reproduction, not a debate.
Agent fixes, human merges
Review agent-proposed changes with the owning developer; a rescan verifies the fix before anyone merges.
Where developers already work
Findings land in the PR view and existing ticketing, and every scan tests the fully authenticated app.
One workflow covers the web app and its APIs, including endpoints discovered from source.
DAST for security champions: common questions
How does Code Traceback work?
Source-based API discovery adds recognized REST routes from supported code. On API scans backed by that discovery, Code Traceback links supported findings to the file and line that defined the endpoint.
Can a developer reproduce a finding without the scanner?
For supported request-level findings, yes. Validate with Curl provides a replay command and the finding retains the relevant HTTP evidence.
Does NightVision fix vulnerabilities automatically?
NightVision supplies evidence and source context where supported. A coding agent can propose changes and rescan, while the owning developer reviews and merges through normal repository controls.
How do I get developers to trust the findings?
Let them verify one. Request and response evidence gives skeptics a concrete reproduction path; supported source-discovered API findings can add file and line context.
Where do findings show up?
GitHub Security Alerts and the PR view via SARIF, Jira, Slack, Teams, and the terminal or VS Code for self-serve scans.
Where do other roles fit?
See NightVision for security engineers, platform engineers, and developers, or how coding agents plug in.
