Vulnerability Assessment API

Overview

The Vulnerability Assessment API allows users to view asset (Endpoint or Workload) vulnerabilities, increase security visibility, and undertake prioritized proactive security patching on critical systems. The API provides a summary of vulnerability information filtered at the organization level, by device, or by vulnerability CVE ID. With a list of vulnerabilities prioritized by severity, exploitability, and current activity, users can apply proactive and impactful vulnerability patches.

In July 2023 the Vulnerability Assessment capability was updated to also work with MacOS. The changes in the API is the new value MAC for os_type and a section for “MAC” in asset summaries.

Use Cases

  • Filterable Vulnerability information
  • Summaries or lists of Vulnerabilities that can be prioritized by severity, exploitability, and current activity.
  • Vulnerability Device Actions

Requirements

  • Workload Vulnerabilities
    • Appliance and vSphere configured to communicate with the Carbon Black Cloud see Installation Guide for more information
    • Carbon Black Cloud Workload - You must have purchased one of the Carbon Black Cloud Workload packages
    • Note: Vulnerability Assessment is not available in GovCloud.
  • Endpoint Vulnerabilities
    • Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint - You must have purchased one of the Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint packages
  • All API calls require an API key with appropriate permissions see Authentication

Guides and Resources

Authentication

Determine whether you use Carbon Black Cloud or VMware Cloud Services Platform to manage identity and authorization, or see the Carbon Black Cloud API Access Guide for complete instructions.


Carbon Black Cloud Managed Identity and Authentication
Customize your access to the Carbon Black Cloud APIs with Role-Based Access Control; All APIs and Services authenticate via API Keys. To access the data in Carbon Black Cloud via API, you must set up a key with the correct permissions for the calls you want to make and pass it in the HTTP Headers.

Environment
Available on majority of environments; Use the Carbon Black Cloud Console URL, as described here.

API Route
Replace the {cbc-hostname} and {org_key} with the URL of your Environment and the org_key for your specific Org.
  • Info for an org: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/orgs/{org_key}/vulnerabilities/
  • Info for a vCenter: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/orgs/{org_key}/vcenters/
  • Info for a device: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/orgs/{org_key}/devices/
  • Info for a CVE: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/vulnerabilities/

Access Level
Before you create your API Key, you need to create a "Custom" Access Level including each category:
  • Vulnerability > Vulnerability Assessment Data > vulnerabilityAssessment.data, allow permission to READ, EXECUTE

API Key
When creating your API Key, use the Access Level Type of "Custom" and select the Access Level you created. Details on constructing and passing the API Key in your requests are available here.


Cloud Services Platform Managed Identity and Authentication
Customize your access to the Carbon Black Cloud APIs with OAuth Access Control; API access is controlled using OAuth apps or User API Tokens. This is currently limited to the UK Point of Presence and AWS GovCloud (US).

Environment
Available on Prod UK and AWS GovCloud (US). Full list of environments is available here; Use the Carbon Black Cloud Console URL from Cloud Services Platform, as described here.

API Route
Replace the {cbc-hostname} and {org_key} with the URL of your Environment and the org_key for your specific Org.
  • Info for an org: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/orgs/{org_key}/vulnerabilities/
  • Info for a vCenter: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/orgs/{org_key}/vcenters/
  • Info for a device: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/orgs/{org_key}/devices/
  • Info for a CVE: {cbc-hostname}/vulnerability/assessment/api/v1/vulnerabilities/

Access Level
Before you create your OAuth App, you need to create a custom Role with the following permissions under IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT > Roles > VMware Carbon Black Cloud:
  • _API.Vulnerability:vulnerabilityAssessment.Data, allow permission to READ, EXECUTE

API Authentication
The Cloud Services Platform supports several authentication options, Access Token, API Token, and for backward compatibility, X-Auth-Token. To learn about the differences or how to use the authentication methods see the Authentication Guide.

Quick Start

Criteria

The Vulnerability search endpoints utilize a new pattern to combine multiple criteria’s using an operator and value. Below you can find the supported operators as well as the properties that can be filtered.

{
  "criteria": {
    "property": {
      "value": "<string>",
      "operator": "<string>"
    }
  }
}
Field Definition Data Type Values
property Property to filter results on Object See Supported Criteria Properties below
value Property value to add to search criteria Varies depending on property and operator. Supports String, Integer, Double, or Array N/A
operator Logic operator to apply to property value String EQUALS, NOT_EQUALS, GREATER_THAN, LESS_THAN, IS_NULL, IS_NOT_NULL, IS_TRUE, IS_FALSE, IN, NOT_IN, LIKE

Note: See API for supported properties, not all may be supported for every search endpoint.

API Calls

Note: Many of the API calls below offer a separate path for specifying the vCenter. This allows you to filter down to a single center instead of across all workloads.

Vulnerability

The Vulnerability API calls provide detailed Vulnerability information by organization, vCenter, device, or CVE.
