Simplifying Open-Source Security in Bitbucket with Hopper

Open-source software powers modern development, but it also introduces security and compliance risks that traditional tools struggle to manage. At Hopper, we're redefining open-source security by focusing on what actually matters: exploitable vulnerabilities. Our new Bitbucket Server integration brings this precision to your workflow without adding overhead.

Why Traditional SCA Falls Short

Security teams often drown in alerts from software composition analysis (SCA) tools. These alerts are frequently false positives, with little to no context for developers. Hopper changes that by performing function-level reachability analysis, determining if a vulnerability is truly exploitable in your code.

What Hopper for Bitbucket Server Offers

Hopper's Bitbucket integration allows you to:

  • Detect Reachable Vulnerabilities: Our engine analyzes your code paths down to the function level, surfacing only the vulnerabilities that are actually reachable.
  • Avoid Friction: Hopper connects via read-only Git access—no agents, no DevOps changes, and no CI/CD integration required.
  • Automatically Discover Assets: Repositories are detected and scanned automatically without configuration.
  • Ensure License Compliance: Detect license violations and generate SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) in standard formats.
  • Support Developers with Actionable Guidance: Each finding includes call graphs, file-level context, and fix effort estimates.

How It Works

  1. Connect Hopper to Bitbucket Server
    Provide the server URL and authentication token (read-only).
  2. Automatic Repository Listing
    Hopper identifies and lists repositories in the workspace for analysis.
  3. Perform Static Analysis
    Hopper scans both direct and transitive dependencies, including shaded libraries.
  4. Surface Actionable Results
    Findings are prioritized by reachability and presented with technical context to speed up remediation.

Designed with Simplicity and Security in Mind

Your developers and security teams don’t need to worry about complex configurations or excessive permissions. Hopper:

  • Requires only read access to your Bitbucket repositories
  • Does not modify any files or repositories
  • Does not require admin or write permissions
  • Performs analysis without storing your source code

Output You Can Use

  • A list of reachable vulnerabilities with file/function call graphs
  • License violations with package-level details
  • Exportable SBOMs in SPDX or CycloneDX

Getting Started

  1. Log in to Hopper
  2. Go to Integrations > Bitbucket
  3. Provide the server URL and your read-only token
  4. Let Hopper auto-discover your repositories and begin analysis

Secure Code. Zero Friction.

The Hopper Bitbucket Server integration makes it easy to secure your codebase while eliminating unnecessary noise. With function-level insights and developer-friendly remediation, your teams can move faster, with confidence.
