Add Vulnerability Data to Vulnerability Management

Suggest Edits

Add vulnerability data to Tenable Vulnerability Management using the POST /api/v2/vulnerabilities endpoint. This endpoint allows you to import vulnerability data in JSON format.

📘

Note

This endpoint can only import Tenable scan data. It cannot import vulnerability information from third-party vendors.

When constructing the request body, observe the following guidelines:

  • A valid asset object requires at least one valid network interface object.
  • A valid network interface object must contain at least one of the following parameters: ipv4, netbios_name, fqdn.
  • A valid vulnerability object must contain at least one of the following parameters: tenable_plugin_id, qualys_id, or cve.

🛑

Caution

Vulnerability Management supports a maximum of 50 individual asset objects per request message. In addition, because Vulnerability Management supports a total size limit of 15 MB for the request message, you may want to limit the number of asset objects you include in an individual request, depending on the number of vulnerabilities identified on the assets and the size of the related vulnerability output.
