Cuckoo Sandbox Response Integration via API

Purpose

This guide explains how to configure the Cuckoo Sandbox Response integration in Logsign USO, so that an analyst (or an action rule) can submit a URL or file for sandbox analysis and retrieve a Cuckoo analysis report directly from a Logsign Incident. This is a query/submission integration against a self-hosted Cuckoo Sandbox instance, not a containment integration.

Prerequisites

  • A self-hosted Cuckoo Sandbox instance with its REST API reachable from the Logsign server.
  • An API token, if your Cuckoo deployment requires one (Cuckoo can be deployed with or without API authentication depending on configuration).

Step 1: Prepare Cuckoo Sandbox for API Access

  1. Confirm your Cuckoo Sandbox instance's REST API is enabled and reachable from the Logsign server.
  2. If your Cuckoo deployment uses an API token, note it.
  3. Note the Cuckoo instance's hostname and the port its API listens on.

Step 2: Configure the Integration in Logsign USO

In Logsign USO, go to Settings > Integrations > Responses, search for Cuckoo Sandbox, click Configure then +Device, and fill in:

FieldRequiredDescription
Device NameYesFree-text label identifying this Cuckoo device in Logsign.
HostYesHostname of your Cuckoo Sandbox instance.
PortYesPort the Cuckoo REST API listens on.
Api TokenNoAPI token, if your Cuckoo deployment requires one. Stored encrypted at rest.

Click Create to save the device.

Available Methods

  • get-url-report — submits a URL and fetches its Cuckoo analysis report. Arg: url (required). Polls asynchronously (default every 60 seconds) until the report is ready; result includes a score.
  • get-file-report — submits a file and fetches its Cuckoo analysis report. Arg: file_path (required). Also polls asynchronously; result includes md5, sha1, sha256, and score.

Troubleshooting

SymptomLikely causeWhat to check
Connection failure / timeoutWrong Host/Port, or the Cuckoo instance's API is not reachable from Logsign.Confirm the Host and Port match your Cuckoo instance and that outbound access from Logsign to it is allowed.
401/403 errorWrong or missing Api Token, if your Cuckoo deployment requires one.Confirm whether your Cuckoo instance requires API authentication, and if so, that the Api Token field is correctly populated.
Report never becomes readyAnalysis takes time depending on your Cuckoo instance's queue and available analysis VMs.Confirm your Cuckoo instance has available analysis machines and is not backlogged; check the Cuckoo instance directly if reports consistently never complete.

Notes and Limits

  • This integration depends entirely on your own self-hosted Cuckoo Sandbox instance's availability and analysis capacity; it is not a hosted cloud service.
  • This integration only submits/reads sandbox analyses; it does not block or quarantine anything based on the results.
