IBM Security Bulletins

This feed periodically pulls security security bulletins from IBM as Report Objects.

GET https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/securityapp/api/site/datalist

In addition, the HTML content for each security bulletin is also fetched and imported as the description for the Report Object. The HTML content is fetched using https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/{{.NID}}.
