What’s New

New API to Ignore Vulnerabilities

With this release, we’re introducing a new V2 API for Ignoring Vulnerabilities which will replace the old V1 API for Ignoring Vulnerabilities.

LDAP Authentication Support for MongoDB Record
/api/2.0/fo/auth/mongodb/
With this release, you can list, create and update MongoDB records for LDAP authentication. We have introduced two new parameters – crendential_type (to provide separate options for local authentication and external LDAP authentication) and cleartext (enables to send cleartext password over unencrypted channel). Local authentication was already supported.

Launch/Schedule Compliance Scans on FQDNs
/api/2.0/fo/scan/compliance/
/api/2.0/fo/schedule/scan/compliance/

With this release you can launch and schedule compliance scans on Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs). Specify the input parameter “fqdn” during the scan request.

Host List and Host List Detection API Outputs to Show Asset ID and Cloud Provider Tags
/api/2.0/fo/asset/host/
/api/2.0/fo/asset/host/vm/detection/

We added a new “ASSET ID” tag to the Host List and Host List Detection API outputs to show you the asset IDs of the scanned hosts. A new parameter “show_asset_id” is added to the Host List and Host List Detection APIs

We also added a new tag “Cloud Provider Tags” to the Host List and Host List Detection API outputs to show you the cloud tags and their values for the assets. For a host, the “Cloud Provider Tags” tag will show the cloud tag’s name, value, last success date for each cloud tag.

API Support for Kubernetes Authentication Record
/api/2.0/fo/auth/
We have added API support for creating an authentication record for Kubernetes 1.x application installed on a UNIX host. Now you can create, update, list, and delete data related to Kubernetes 1.x authentication records. User permissions for this API are the same as other authentication record APIs.
