Vulnerability Fieldsedit

The vulnerability fields describe information about a vulnerability that is relevant to an event.

Vulnerability Field Detailsedit

Field Description Level

vulnerability.category

The type of system or architecture that the vulnerability affects. These may be platform-specific (for example, Debian or SUSE) or general (for example, Database or Firewall). For example (Qualys vulnerability categories)

This field must be an array.

type: keyword

Note: this field should contain an array of values.

example: ["Firewall"]

extended

vulnerability.classification

The classification of the vulnerability scoring system. For example (https://www.first.org/cvss/)

type: keyword

example: CVSS

extended

vulnerability.description

The description of the vulnerability that provides additional context of the vulnerability. For example (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure CVE description)

type: keyword

Multi-fields:

* vulnerability.description.text (type: match_only_text)

extended

vulnerability.enumeration

The type of identifier used for this vulnerability. For example (https://cve.mitre.org/about/)

type: keyword

example: CVE

extended

vulnerability.id

The identification (ID) is the number portion of a vulnerability entry. It includes a unique identification number for the vulnerability. For example (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure CVE ID

type: keyword

example: CVE-2019-00001

extended

vulnerability.reference

A resource that provides additional information, context, and mitigations for the identified vulnerability.

type: keyword

example: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-6111

extended

vulnerability.score.base

Scores can range from 0.0 to 10.0, with 10.0 being the most severe.

Base scores cover an assessment for exploitability metrics (attack vector, complexity, privileges, and user interaction), impact metrics (confidentiality, integrity, and availability), and scope. For example (https://www.first.org/cvss/specification-document)

type: float

example: 5.5

extended

vulnerability.score.environmental

Scores can range from 0.0 to 10.0, with 10.0 being the most severe.

Environmental scores cover an assessment for any modified Base metrics, confidentiality, integrity, and availability requirements. For example (https://www.first.org/cvss/specification-document)

type: float

example: 5.5

extended

vulnerability.score.temporal

Scores can range from 0.0 to 10.0, with 10.0 being the most severe.

Temporal scores cover an assessment for code maturity, remediation level, and confidence. For example (https://www.first.org/cvss/specification-document)

type: float

extended

vulnerability.score.version

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) provides qualitative severity rankings of "Low", "Medium", and "High" for CVSS v2.0 base score ranges in addition to the severity ratings for CVSS v3.0 as they are defined in the CVSS v3.0 specification.

CVSS is owned and managed by FIRST.Org, Inc. (FIRST), a US-based non-profit organization, whose mission is to help computer security incident response teams across the world. For example (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss)

type: keyword

example: 2.0

vulnerability.severity

The severity of the vulnerability can help with metrics and internal prioritization regarding remediation. For example (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss)

type: keyword

example: Critical
