Integration Details

ThreatQuotient provides the following details for this integration:

Introduction

The Flashpoint VulnDB CDF integration leverages VulnDB to provide ThreatQ users with the latest information on vulnerabilities, including details on affected software, severity, and remediation steps. 

Flashpoint's VulnDB is a vulnerability database designed to help organizations manage risk. It boasts a comprehensive collection of up-to-date vulnerabilities, including those not listed elsewhere, and offers alerts to keep users informed. By providing information on both end-user software and third-party libraries, VulnDB helps organizations address security weaknesses across their entire IT infrastructure.

By integrating VulnDB with ThreatQ, users can quickly identify and address vulnerabilities that pose a risk to their organization.

The integration provides the following feed:

  • Flashpoint VulnDB - ingests vulnerabilities & related CVEs from VulnDB.

The integration ingests indicator and Vulnerability object types.

Prerequisites

The following is required for the integration:

  • A Flashpoint VulnDB License.

    This license is separate from the Ignite and FP Tools.

  • Flashpoint API Credentials.

Installation

Perform the following steps to install the integration:

The same steps can be used to upgrade the integration to a new version.

  1. Log into https://marketplace.threatq.com/.
  2. Locate and download the integration yaml file.
  3. Navigate to the integrations management page on your ThreatQ instance.
  4. Click on the Add New Integration button.
  5. Upload the integration yaml file using one of the following methods:
    • Drag and drop the file into the dialog box
    • Select Click to Browse to locate the file on your local machine

    ThreatQ will inform you if the feed already exists on the platform and will require user confirmation before proceeding. ThreatQ will also inform you if the new version of the feed contains changes to the user configuration. The new user configurations will overwrite the existing ones for the feed and will require user confirmation before proceeding.

  6. The feed will be added to the integrations page.  You will still need to configure and then enable the feed.
