Auto-scan Code → Create Security Issues → Notify Team
Automatically scan repositories for vulnerabilities using GitHub Advanced Security, create tracking issues for findings, and notify your development team via Slack.
Workflow Steps
GitHub Advanced Security
Enable automated security scanning
Navigate to your repository Settings > Security & analysis, then enable Dependabot alerts, secret scanning, and code scanning. Configure CodeQL analysis to run on all pull requests and pushes to main branch.
GitHub Actions
Set up security workflow trigger
Create a .github/workflows/security-alert.yml file that triggers when security alerts are created. Use the 'security_advisory' webhook event to capture vulnerability discoveries automatically.
GitHub Issues
Auto-create security tracking issues
Configure the workflow to automatically create GitHub Issues for each security finding. Include vulnerability details, severity level, affected files, and assign to security team members with appropriate labels like 'security', 'high-priority'.
Slack
Send team notifications
Use GitHub's Slack integration or a webhook action to send formatted messages to your #security or #dev-alerts channel. Include issue link, severity, and affected repository for immediate team awareness.
