Introduction
ThreadFix uses Dependency Track API Client to authenticate and pull both application and scan information.
Fetching Applications
ThreadFix uses this endpoint to pull applications from the Dependency Track instance. ThreadFix does paginate this request.
/api/v1/project
Fetching Scans
ThreadFix uses this endpoint to get vulnerability information from Dependency Track Client API:
/api/v1/vulnerability/project/{projectNativeId}
From the returned data ThreadFix extracts severity, status, datecreated, location, and issuetype dependency values of each finding from all new, open, and reopened issues for the specified application
Because the results set does not provide a scan date, ThreadFix will report the date the scan was imported as the scan date
ThreadFix does paginate this request
Users need to have the Vulnerability_Analysis permission to import scans, as seen below:
Parsing Vulnerabilities
The JSON returned by Dependency Track vulnerabilities endpoint maps directly to these ThreadFix Finding Mappings:
Native Id - vulnerability.uuid
Vulnerability code - vulnerability.cwe.name (if cwe.name is null it will map to Configuration)
Severity code - vulnerability.severity
Path - “Dependencies”
Dependency.reference - vulnerability.vulnId
dependency.componentName - component.name
dependency.componentFilePath - component.fileName
dependency.description - vulnerability.description
CVE - vulnerability.vulnId
