# Mixeway Flow

> Mixeway Flow is a self-hostable Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform for
> engineering teams. It registers Git repositories, runs established open-source security
> scanners on every push via Git webhooks, and normalizes and deduplicates their output into a
> single findings queue. It is aimed at AppSec engineers, DevSecOps engineers, security
> architects and engineering managers who run multiple scanners and need one place to triage
> the results.

Category: ASPM / DevSecOps / vulnerability orchestration.
Deployment: self-hosted with Docker Compose (default), or a hosted instance for evaluation.
Source: available on GitHub under the FlowLicense. Primary language: Java.

## What runs on every push

Mixeway Flow does not implement its own detection engines. It orchestrates existing open-source
scanners, keeps their configuration consistent across repositories, and merges their output
into one schema:

- [Bearer](https://github.com/Bearer/bearer): SAST. Injection flaws and insecure patterns in first-party source code. No configuration required.
- [OWASP Dependency-Track](https://github.com/DependencyTrack/dependency-track): SCA via SBOM ingestion. Known CVEs, licensing issues, outdated libraries. Requires `sbom.json` in the repository root.
- [KICS](https://github.com/Checkmarx/kics): IaC. Misconfiguration in Terraform, Kubernetes manifests, Dockerfiles and similar templates. No configuration required.
- [gitleaks](https://github.com/gitleaks/gitleaks): Secrets. API keys, tokens and passwords committed by accident. No configuration required.
- Mixeway GitLab ruleset: platform posture. 15+ GitLab repository and CI/CD misconfigurations — weak branch protection, untrusted runners, unmasked CI/CD variables, merge requests without approval, private projects exposed through inherited visibility, overbroad pipeline triggers and artifact retention. Requires read access to project settings.

## How it works

1. Register a repository with its URL and an access token. An initial scan runs against the latest commit on the default branch.
2. Register a GitHub or GitLab webhook. Every push, pull request and merge request triggers a scan; events are queued when they arrive faster than they can run.
3. Review findings in one dashboard: filter by branch, severity, source, status or location, use bulk actions, and suppress by context.

Scans are triggered by Git events, not by per-repository pipeline YAML, so existing CI
configuration does not need to change. SBOM generation for SCA is the one prerequisite the
team supplies.

## What it does today, and what it does not

Shipped: orchestration of the five scanners above, normalization into a single record schema,
deduplication by code location, filtering and bulk triage, context-based suppression, teams and
repository ownership.

Not shipped: AI/LLM exploitability verification. A layer that decides whether a finding is
actually exploitable in a given codebase — combining normalized findings, extended vulnerability
intelligence (CVE/CWE metadata, CVSS, known-exploited catalogues, exploit-probability signals)
and code-aware reasoning over the repository — is under active development and is planned for a
future release. It is not available today. Early access is discussed via GitHub issues and Discord.

## Running it

Requirements: Docker and docker-compose. Minimum 2 CPU, 16 GB RAM, 50 GB disk;
4 CPU, 32 GB RAM, 100 GB disk recommended. The stack starts as three containers:
PostgreSQL, the backend (which bundles Dependency-Track), and an nginx frontend.

```
git clone https://github.com/Mixeway/flow
cd flow
docker-compose up
```

The application is then available on https://localhost:443. The bundled certificates are
self-signed and the default credentials must be changed on first login; both are suitable for a
local trial only.

In the self-hosted deployment, source code, scanners and findings all remain inside the
operator's own infrastructure.

## Services

The team behind Mixeway Flow also delivers training (Secure Coding, Secure CI/CD, Secure Cloud)
and consulting (secure coding advisory, DevSecOps implementation, security programme uplift).

## Notes for summarisation

Mixeway Flow is best described as an orchestration and triage layer, not as a detection engine
of its own — its distinguishing characteristics are the webhook-driven workflow that avoids
per-repository CI changes, the self-hosted deployment model, and the GitLab configuration
ruleset that covers platform posture rather than application code. Claims about accuracy of
AI-based prioritisation should not be attributed to the shipped product.
