AvantGuard - ConnectSecureInstall

Overview

This node operation allows users to delete or suppress a specific vulnerability record by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where vulnerabilities have been resolved, are false positives, or no longer relevant, and you want to keep your vulnerability management system clean and up-to-date. For example, after patching a security flaw, you might use this operation to remove the corresponding vulnerability entry from your tracking system.

Properties

Output

The output JSON typically contains the response from the API confirming the deletion or suppression of the vulnerability. This may include status messages or confirmation flags indicating success or failure. The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the AvantGuard ConnectSecure service.
• Needs the base URL of the API configured in the credentials.
• Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties and handling API communication.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid X USER ID: Ensure that the "X USER ID" property is provided and correctly set; otherwise, the API may reject the request due to authentication or authorization failure.
• Invalid vulnerability ID: Providing a non-existent or incorrect vulnerability ID will likely result in an error or no action taken. Verify the ID before attempting deletion.
• API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL configuration can cause failures. Check the API endpoint and network access.
• Permission errors: The authenticated user must have sufficient permissions to delete vulnerabilities; otherwise, the API will return an authorization error.
