Project Vulnerabilities API (ULTIMATE)

Introduced in GitLab Ultimate 12.6.

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

Every API call to vulnerabilities must be authenticated.

Vulnerability permissions inherit permissions from their project. If a project is private, and a user isn't a member of the project to which the vulnerability belongs, requests to that project will return a 404 Not Found status code.

Vulnerabilities pagination

API results are paginated, and GET requests return 20 results at a time by default.

Read more on pagination.

List project vulnerabilities

List all of a project's vulnerabilities.

If an authenticated user does not have permission to use the Project Security Dashboard, GET requests for vulnerabilities of this project will result in a 403 status code.

GET /projects/:id/vulnerabilities
Attribute Type Required Description
id integer or string yes The ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user.
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/4/vulnerabilities"

New vulnerability

Creates a new vulnerability.

If an authenticated user does not have a permission to create a new vulnerability, this request will result in a 403 status code.

POST /projects/:id/vulnerabilities?finding_id=<your_finding_id>
Attribute Type Required Description
id integer or string yes The ID or URL-encoded path of the project which the authenticated user is a member of
finding_id integer or string yes The ID of a Vulnerability Finding from which the new Vulnerability will be created

The other attributes of a newly created Vulnerability are populated from its source Vulnerability Finding, or with these default values:

Attribute Value
author The authenticated user
title The name attribute of a Vulnerability Finding
state opened
severity The severity attribute of a Vulnerability Finding
confidence The confidence attribute of a Vulnerability Finding
