    Optional field allowing selection of a Jira workspace member responsible for remediation.
  • Vulnerability Details Panel (read-only)
    • Resource name
    • Severity
    • Category
    • CWE
    • File/API location
  • Description
    A detailed, pre-populated explanation containing:

This ensures the Jira issue contains all the information engineers need-without manual copy/paste.

Confirmation

When you click Create Jira Ticket:
  • Krait sends the issue to your connected Jira workspace
  • The issue is created under the configured Jira Project and Issue Type
  • A success toast appears:
Jira ticket created successfully.
The Jira issue is now linked to the vulnerability, allowing teams to move seamlessly from discovery to remediation.

After Ticket Creation

Once a Jira ticket is created, Krait automatically links it back to the originating vulnerability and updates the interface to reflect the new association.

Where You Can See the Ticket

The ticket now appears under the Tickets tab within the vulnerability details page.

  • Each linked ticket displays:
    • Issue title (as created in Jira)
    • Project name
    • Assigned engineer
    • Current Jira status (e.g., Backlog, In Progress, Done)
    • Priority (when available)
These fields sync from Jira so your team always sees real-time information inside Krait.

Ticket Visibility Across Krait

The newly created Jira issue is also listed in the Tickets section of Krait’s main navigation, where you can filter and review all tickets across resources.

Linked Metadata Displayed on the Vulnerability

On the vulnerability details page, under the “Tickets” tab, Krait shows:
  • A direct link to the Jira ticket
  • The associated Jira issue key (e.g., PROJECT-123)
  • Ticket status and assignee
  • Any other synced metadata supported by Jira (project, priority, workflow state)

How This Helps Your Team

This unified view enables:
  • Faster handoff from security to engineering
  • Clear traceability from vulnerability → ticket → remediation
  • Reduced context switching across tools
  • Transparent ownership and accountability
Krait ensures every ticket remains fully synchronized with Jira so that your team can track remediation progress without leaving the platform.
