Web App Scanning: Scan by Tag
about 15 hours ago by Lance Duvall
Tenable has added support for scanning by tag in Tenable Web App Scanning. You can now dynamically target applications using tags when configuring scans, eliminating the need to manually define individual URLs for each scan.
With this update, the tag_targets parameter has been added to the scan configuration endpoints. This parameter enables you to provide a list of tag UUIDs so scans automatically include applications assigned to those tags.
This enhancement enables you to:
- Dynamically include applications based on tag assignments
- Reuse existing tagging structures across multiple scans
- Simplify scan target management
- Maintain consistency with platform-wide tagging practices
The following body parameter is now supported in scan configuration requests:
| Parameter | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
tag_targets | Array (UUID) | A list of unique tag identifiers (UUIDs) to include in the scan. Applications associated with the specified tags are automatically included in the scan target. |
This update affects the following endpoints:
| API Endpoint | Name | Update |
|---|---|---|
| POST /was/v2/configs | Create scan configuration | Added the tag_targets body parameter. |
| PUT /was/v2/configs/{config_id} | Upsert scan configuration | Added the tag_targets body parameter. |
