Vulnerability Findings API (ULTIMATE)

Introduced in GitLab 12.5.

NOTE: This API resource is renamed from Vulnerabilities to Vulnerability Findings because the Vulnerabilities are reserved for serving Vulnerability objects. To fix any broken integrations with the former Vulnerabilities API, change the vulnerabilities URL part to be vulnerability_findings.

Every API call to vulnerability findings must be authenticated.

Vulnerability findings are project-bound entities. If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a request on that project results in a 404 status code.

If a user is able to access the project but does not have permission to use the Project Security Dashboard, any request for vulnerability findings of this project results in a 403 status code.

WARNING: This API is in an alpha stage and considered unstable. The response payload may be subject to change or breakage across GitLab releases.

Vulnerability findings pagination

By default, GET requests return 20 results at a time because the API results are paginated.

Read more on pagination.

List project vulnerability findings

List all of a project's vulnerability findings.

GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?report_type=sast
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?report_type=container_scanning
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?report_type=sast,dast
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?scope=all
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?scope=dismissed
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?severity=high
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?confidence=unknown,experimental
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?pipeline_id=42

WARNING: Beginning with GitLab 12.9, the undefined severity and confidence level is no longer reported.
