Writing Secure Code with Cursor: Scan, Fix, and Verify with StackHawk

Cursor integrates with StackHawk to enhance security scanning through the use of agent skills, which are a set of rules that allow Cursor's agent to scan, fix, and verify code within an editor environment. By installing StackHawk's agent skills, which follow a five-step loop—Configure, Scan, Parse, Fix, Verify—developers can automate the security testing of their applications. These skills are implemented as structured markdown rules within Cursor, enabling the agent to conduct security scans, identify vulnerabilities, and rectify them. The process involves setting up StackHawk's CLI tools and configuring them with an API key, after which the agent can perform scans and automatically manage findings. The integration facilitates continuous security checks as part of the development workflow, ensuring vulnerabilities are promptly addressed and verified without extensive manual intervention. Additionally, developers can review and triage findings through the StackHawk platform, allowing for efficient management of security issues.
