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.

Fetching Scans

ThreadFix uses this endpoint to get vulnerability information from Dependency Track Client API:

• 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
