Vulnerability Management: Exclusion Improvements
Note
Tenable is enabling this update for customers in a rolling fashion and availability is limited. Contact your Tenable Customer Success Manager (CSM) for more information.
Tenable is pleased to announce that several improvements have been made to the Tenable Vulnerability Management exclusion endpoints.
-
You no longer need to upload the exclusion import file with the Upload file request before using the Import exclusion endpoint. You can now directly post the exclusion import file in the
multipart/form-data
object of the Import exclusion endpoint. -
Exclusions now have two unique identifiers:
id
anduuid
, both of which are listed in exclusion endpoint body responses. You can now specify either identifier in the Get exclusion details, Update an exclusion, and Delete an exclusion request bodies. -
The Import exclusion endpoint now supports a new header format, which includes the new
uuid
property, in addition to the legacy header format:New header formatid,name,description,members,creation_date,last_modification_date,uuid
Legacy header formatid,name,description,members,creation_date,last_modification_date
