Overview

This node operation, Retrieve Remediated Vulnerabilities, is designed to fetch a list of vulnerabilities that have been remediated from the Connect Secure API. It allows users to query and retrieve detailed information about vulnerabilities that are no longer active due to remediation efforts.

Common scenarios where this node would be beneficial include:

  • Security teams tracking the status of previously identified vulnerabilities to verify remediation.
  • Automated reporting systems that generate compliance or security posture reports based on remediated issues.
  • Integration with ticketing or incident management systems to update or close vulnerability-related tickets once remediation is confirmed.

Practical example:

  • A security analyst wants to pull all remediated vulnerabilities for a specific user within a certain timeframe, ordered by severity, to review the effectiveness of recent patching activities.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User Id header required to identify the user context for the API request.
Condition Query condition string to filter the vulnerabilities (e.g., by date, severity, etc.).
Skip Number of records to skip in the result set (for pagination).
Limit Maximum number of records to return.
Order By Field name(s) to order the results by (e.g., "date", "severity").

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved remediated vulnerabilities. Each item in the output typically contains details about a single vulnerability, such as its identifier, description, remediation status, timestamps, and other relevant metadata provided by the Connect Secure API.

If the API supports binary data related to vulnerabilities (e.g., attachments or reports), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the Connect Secure API being accessible and properly configured.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the bundled OpenAPI client and lodash library are indicated.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The API requires a valid user ID header; ensure this property is correctly set.
  • Invalid query conditions: If the Condition parameter is malformed or unsupported by the API, the request may fail or return no results.
  • Pagination issues: Incorrect use of Skip and Limit can lead to unexpected empty results or incomplete data sets.
  • Order By errors: Specifying invalid fields in Order By may cause the API to reject the request.
  • Authentication failures: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API downtime can also cause failures; verify connectivity and API status.
