Vulnerabilities API

DETAILS: Tier: Ultimate Offering: GitLab.com, Self-managed, GitLab Dedicated

NOTE: The former Vulnerabilities API was renamed to Vulnerability Findings API and its documentation was moved to a different location. This document now describes the new Vulnerabilities API that provides access to Vulnerabilities.

WARNING: This API is in the process of being deprecated and considered unstable. The response payload may be subject to change or breakage across GitLab releases. Use the GraphQL API instead. For more information, see GraphQL examples.

Every API call to vulnerabilities must be authenticated.

If an authenticated user does not have permission to view vulnerabilities, this request returns a 403 Forbidden status code.

Gets a single vulnerability

GET /vulnerabilities/:id

id integer or string yes The ID of a Vulnerability to get 
curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/vulnerabilities/1"

Replace Vulnerability REST API with GraphQL

To prepare for the upcoming deprecation of the Vulnerability REST API endpoint, use the examples below to perform the equivalent operations with the GraphQL API.

GraphQL - Single vulnerability

Use Query.vulnerability.

{
  vulnerability(id: "gid://gitlab/Vulnerability/20345379") {
    title
    description
    state
    severity
    reportType
    project {
      id
      name
      fullPath
    }
    detectedAt
    confirmedAt
    resolvedAt
    resolvedBy {
      id
      username
    }
  }
}

Example response:

{
  "data": {
    "vulnerability": {
      "title": "Improper Input Validation in railties",
      "description": "A remote code execution vulnerability in development mode Rails beta3 can allow an attacker to guess the automatically generated development mode secret token. This secret token can be used in combination with other Rails internals to escalate to a remote code execution exploit.",
      "state": "RESOLVED",
      "severity": "CRITICAL",
      "reportType": "DEPENDENCY_SCANNING",
      "project": {
        "id": "gid://gitlab/Project/6102100",

    }
  }
}

GraphQL - Confirm vulnerability

Use Mutation.vulnerabilityConfirm.

mutation {
  vulnerabilityConfirm(input: { id: "gid://gitlab/Vulnerability/23577695"}) {
    vulnerability {
      state
    }
    errors

mutation {
  vulnerabilityResolve(input: { id: "gid://gitlab/Vulnerability/23577695"}) {
    vulnerability {
      state
    }

    "vulnerabilityConfirm": {
      "vulnerability": {
        "state": "RESOLVED"

    }
  }

Use Mutation.vulnerabilityDismiss.

mutation {
  vulnerabilityDismiss(input: { id: "gid://gitlab/Vulnerability/23577695"}) {
    vulnerability {
      state
    }
    errors
  }

    vulnerability {
      state
    }
    errors

{
  "data": {
    "vulnerabilityConfirm": {
