Type: Finding

The Finding model

The Finding model contains all the information about a Finding, such as its description, severity, risk score, and vulnerability ID. If the Finding is a CVE, there are details about the CVE and any known exploits about the Finding.

Where Do Findings Come From?

Findings are generated by running tests (or scanners) on an Artifact (such as a source code repository or a firmware image). The results of these tests are then uploaded to the platform, which creates Findings for each vulnerability found. Findings can also be created by users manually.

Querying for Findings

You can query for Findings using the allFindings query. This query takes a filter argument of type FindingFilter that you can use to filter the returned Findings.

Example

Getting all Findings for a specific ArtifactVersion.

query AllFindingsForAnArtifactVersion(
  $filter: AssetVersionFilter!
) {
   allAssetVersions(
    filter: $filter
   ) {
     id
     name
     artifacts {
       id
       name
     }
     findings {
       id
       vulnIdFromTool
       createdAt
       updatedAt
       severity
       riskScore
     }
   }
}

Example

Getting all Findings in a specific Business Unit. Note there are two separate example filters - one based on the Business Unit ID and the other based on the Business Unit Name.

query AllFindingsForABusinessUnitWithCriticalSeverity {
  allGroups (
    filter: {
      id: 1690
    }
  ) {
    id
    name
    products {
      assets {
        findings (
          filter: {
            severity: CRITICAL
          }
        ){
          id
          title
          vulnIdFromTool
          severity
          assetVersion {
            id
            name
            asset {
              id
              name
              dependentProducts {
                id
                name
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

  allFindings {

A Finding represents a single vulnerability, weakness, or issue that has been detected. Findings may be created by Finite State's vulnerability monitoring algorithms, by user actions, or by parsing uploaded Test data.
