Overview

This node operation allows users to create a "suppress vulnerability" entry in the Vulnerabilities resource of the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API. It is useful for security teams or automated workflows that need to mark certain vulnerabilities as suppressed, possibly to acknowledge false positives or accepted risks without triggering alerts.

A practical example would be an automated security pipeline where detected vulnerabilities are reviewed and some are programmatically suppressed based on predefined criteria, reducing noise in vulnerability management dashboards.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The user identifier making the request; required for authentication or tracking purposes.
Additional Body Fields Optional JSON fields to include additional data in the request body. Specifically, it supports a data field which expects a JSON string, e.g., {"internal_users": "[]"}.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the API call to create the suppress vulnerability entry. This typically includes confirmation details such as the created suppression record's ID, status, timestamps, or any error messages returned by the API.

No binary data output is indicated or expected.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for AvantGuard ConnectSecure (configured in n8n credentials).
  • Depends on the base URL and authentication headers configured via the credential.
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node for request building.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: Since this header is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause authentication or authorization errors.
  • Malformed JSON in Additional Body Fields: The data field expects valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause request failures.
  • API connectivity issues: Ensure the base URL and API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
  • Permission errors: The authenticated user must have rights to create suppressions; otherwise, the API will reject the request.
