HackerOne Connector

HackerOne is a vulnerability coordination and bug bounty platform that connects businesses with Cybersecurity researchers and penetration testers.

To import your data from HackerOne to Kenna, you will need to leverage the HackerOne Connector under the Bug Bounties tools.

User Prerequisites/Connector Setup:

A service account or user account with access to all the items you wish to import and must have API Access.
Note: The HackerOne Connector is a Cloud connector, and does not require the Virtual Tunnel.

Configuring your Connector in Kenna

To set up the Connector, navigate to the Connectors tab in your Kenna deployment (you must be a Kenna Administrator to do so). On the Connectors page, select HackerOne:

Once you select the HackerOne Connector, the following screen will appear:

Enter a name for the connector, or leave it as “HackerOne."
Enter the Username and API Key for the account.
Schedule the connector and select the run frequency.
Click "Save and Verify."
If you’d like to set a connector level asset inactivity limit, you can do that at this time. For Bug Bounty connectors we recommend a longer Asset Inactivity Limit, as these items are ingested / seen less often than a typical VM/AppSec vulnerability.

What HackerOne Items does Kenna Import and what API Calls are involved?

Kenna will import all of the findings associated with the user leveraged for the connector. We will pull the following information and fields:

HackerOne Field	Kenna Field	Notes
Data> Attributes > asset_identifier	Application Identifier
data_id	External ID
Source Vulnerability > id	Vulnerability Identifier
Title	Name
State	Status	We do not map Triaged States
vulnerability_information	Details & Description
Attributes > external_id	CWE
Attributes > cve_ids	CVE
Attributes > created_at	found_date
updated_at	last_seen_date
closed_at (if populated)	Closed	Closed Date
Score	Scanner Score	(0-10) OR Other - 0 Low - 3 Medium - 6 High - 9

The Kenna Connector does not pull in the following:

Bounty Amount Awarded
Messages posted (Comments)
Swag Awarded
Custom Fields
Reporter

The API endpoints we leverage are:

https://api.hackerone.com
…/v1/me/programs (for all relevant pages)
…/v1/reports/

Optional Settings

The following settings can be enabled on the backend for HackerOne Connectors. To have these settings enabled, or for more information, please contact Support, or your Customer Success Engineer.

Exclude Informationals
- When this option is enabled, Kenna will not import vulnerabilities that do not include a CVE, CWE, or WASC ID.
Ignore Scanner Last Seen Time
- This can be enabled for customers who do not want the asset last seen time in Kenna to be the scanner reported last seen time.
Custom Ordered Locators
- Locators (IP, Netbios, FQDN, etc) can be reordered to better deduplicate vulnerabilities on the Connector level or the entire Platform level. For more information see the help article here.

Common Reasons for HackerOne Connector Run Failures

Bad credentials
No reports are found, Kenna will abort
Failed API calls
Inability to process unexpected data/format
If more than 1% of connector payloads fail, Kenna will auto-fail the Connector Run.

Please contact Kenna Support should you require any additional assistance with the HackerOne Connector(s).
