Required Permission

Read Access (Any Role)

Version Introduced

2.3.0

Changes in 2.4.0                

Adds new fields to dependency Check Vulnerabilities

Changes in 2.5.1

Adds "displayName" field to "genericSeverity" in response.  This field is present when using any previous REST version as well.

Adds "findingRecommendation" and "findingDescription" fields in response.  These are only present when using version 2.5.1 or later.

Changes in 2.5.2

Adds "vulnerabilityComments.comment" and "vulnerabilityComments.tags" fields in response. These fields are present when using any previous REST version as well.

Adds "vulnerabilityComments.user" field in response. This field is only present when using version 2.5.2 or later.

Adds ability to get vulnerability information by entering a serialized list of vulnerability IDs.

Changes in 2.7

Adds ability to get vulnerability information by entering a serialized list of CVE IDs.

Adds 8 new parameters to help query by vulnerability status: showNotFalsePositive, showNotHidden, showExploitable, showNotExploitable, showContested, showNotContested, showVerified, and showNotVerified.  These parameters only work if using the 2.7 REST version or later. 

Starting with REST version 2.7 the status query logic is altered; ThreadFix only filters vulnerabilities based on the parameters the user provides.  To see open vulnerabilities without False Positives and Hidden vulns returned, the user will need to specify "showOpen=true", "showNotFalsePositive=true", and "showNotHidden=true"

Changes in 2.7.1

Added support for CSVv1, CSVv2 and SSVL exports.

Also added 7 new parameters to allow users to filter report data in the same way they would in the ThreadFix UI for CSV and SSVL exports.

Changes in 2.8

Updated CSV export parameter arguments. CSVv1 support has been deprecated.

Also added 3 new parameters to allow for filtering on static, dynamic and dependency findings.

Changes in 2.8.2

Added remoteProviderEntityID and remoteProviderEntityName fields in response. These fields are present when using any previous REST version as well.

Changes in 2.8.3

Added urlReference field in response. This field was already displayed on UI vulnerability details page

Changes in 2.8.4

Added remoteProviderAppNativeName. This field corresponds with the "Origin Remote Provider Application" in the Finding Details page.

Accept

String

Yes

A value of ‘application/json’ must be provided.

genericVulnerabilities

List

no

Serialized list of generic vulnerability (CWE) IDs. 

Example: genericVulnerabilities[0].id=201

teams

List

no

Serialized list of team IDs.

Example: teams[0].id=1

applications

List

no

Serialized list of application IDs. 

Example: applications[0].id=2

channelTypes

List

no

Serialized list of scanner IDs. 

Example: channelTypes[0].id=<channelTypeId> (e.g., channelTypes[0].id=49)

Note: To find a scanner’s channelTypeId, run the following query:

SELECT id, name FROM channeltype WHERE name='<scanner name>'; (e.g., SELECT id, name FROM channeltype WHERE name='Fortify SSC'; )

genericSeverities

List

no

Serialized list of generic severity values.  

Severity Values:

• UNASSIGNED = 0

• INFO = 1

• LOW = 2

• MEDIUM = 3

• HIGH = 4

• CRITICAL = 5

Example: genericSeverities[0].intValue=4&genericSeverities[1].intValue=5

Retrieves Critical and High vulnerabilities.  The 0 and 1 indicate position within array since more than one vuln severity type is being requested.  If only requesting one severity, it would be 0.
