Body Params

source

string

required

The source of the scan that generated the vulnerability data. If you want to categorize the imported vulnerabilities in the same way that Tenable Vulnerability Management categorizes vulnerabilities detected in scans it manages, use the following values:

security_center—A Nessus scan identified the vulnerabilities you want to import. Use this value for all Nessus scans, regardless of the scan manager (Tenable Vulnerability Management, Tenable Security Center, or Nessus Manager).

type

string

required

The type of scan that identified the vulnerabilities you want to import. If you want to categorize the imported vulnerabilities in the same way that Tenable Vulnerability Management categorizes vulnerabilities detected in scans it manages, use the following values:

vm—A Vulnerability Management scan identified the vulnerabilities.
was—A Tenable Web App Scanning scan identified the vulnerabilities.
pc—A scan of a personal computer identified the vulnerabilities.

assets

array of objects

required

An array of asset objects with vulnerabilities information. A valid asset record requires at least one valid network_interface object.

Note: Tenable Vulnerability Management supports a maximum of 50 individual asset objects per request message. In addition, because Tenable 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.

Note: This endpoint does not support the network_id attribute in asset objects for import. Tenable Vulnerability Management automatically assigns imported assets to the default network object. For more information about network objects, see Manage Networks.

checks_ran
