Orchestrate security vulnerability remediation with Port, OpenAI, Jira and Slack

Complete security workflow from vulnerability detection to automated remediation, with severity-based routing and full organizational context from Port's catalog. This template provides end-to-end lifecycle management including automatic Jira ticket creation with appropriate priority, AI-powered remediation planning, and Claude Code-triggered fixes for critical vulnerabilities.

The full guide is available here.

How it works

The n8n workflow orchestrates the following steps:

• Webhook trigger: Receives vulnerability alerts from security scanners (Snyk, Wiz, SonarQube, etc.) via POST request.
• Port context enrichment: Uses Port's n8n node to query your software catalog for service metadata, ownership, environment, SLA requirements, and dependencies related to the vulnerability.
• AI remediation planning: OpenAI analyzes the vulnerability with Port context and generates a remediation plan, determining if automated fixing is possible.
• Severity-based routing: Routes vulnerabilities through different paths based on severity level:
  • Critical: Jira ticket (Highest priority) → Check if auto-fixable → Trigger Claude Code fix → Slack alert with fix status
  • High: Jira ticket (High priority) → Slack notification to team channel
  • Medium/Low: Jira ticket only for tracking
• Jira integration: Creates tickets with full context including vulnerability details, affected service information from Port, and AI-generated remediation steps.
• Claude Code remediation: For auto-fixable critical vulnerabilities, triggers Claude Code via Port action to create a pull request with the security patch, referencing the Jira ticket.
• Slack notifications: Sends contextual alerts to the appropriate team channel (retrieved from Port) with Jira ticket reference and remediation status.

Prerequisites

• You have a Port account and have completed the onboarding process.
• Services and repositories are cataloged in Port with ownership information.
• Your security scanner (Snyk, Wiz, SonarQube) can send webhooks.
• You have a working n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted) with Port's n8n custom node installed.
• Jira Cloud account with appropriate project permissions.
• Slack workspace with bot permissions to post messages.
• OpenAI API key for remediation planning.

Setup

• Register for free on Port.io if you haven't already.
• Create the Context Retriever Agent in Port following the guide.
• Import the workflow and configure credentials (Port, Jira, Slack, OpenAI, Bearer Auth).
• Select your Jira project in each Jira node (Critical, High, Medium/Low).
• Update default-organization/repository with your default repository for Claude Code fixes.
• Point your security scanner webhook to the workflow URL.
• Test with a sample vulnerability payload.
