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.
