GraphQL Scan Query Issues return null values

Peter | Last updated: Jun 05, 2020 06:54PM UTC

I'm trying to grab scan results and include issue information. However, any details about the issue which explain what was found come back null, including description_html, evidence, remediation_html. I've tried for multiple scans. In contrast, querying issues directly does return the information (though evidence always seems to return an empty array, at least for HttpInteraction). Here's the GraphQL request: curl -X POST http://localhost:8090/graphql/v1/ -H 'Authorization: <TOKEN>' -d '{"query": "{ scan(id: 64) { id, start_time, issue_types { type_index, number_of_children, severity, confidence } issues(count: 10, start: 0, type_index: 2097920) { path, severity, description_html, remediation_html, confidence, evidence { ... on DescriptiveEvidence { title } ... on HttpInteraction { title } } } } }" }' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' Response (truncated): { "data" : { "scan" : { "id" : "64", "issues" : [ { "confidence" : "certain", "severity" : "high", "description_html" : null, "path" : "/products", "evidence" : null, "remediation_html" : null } ], "issue_types" : [ { "number_of_children" : 2, "type_index" : "1049088", "severity" : "high", "confidence" : "certain" },

Thank you for reporting this. I have replicated this and reported it to our development team. I will keep you updated on any progress. Are you attempting to query for all the details for a specific scan? (i.e. exactly how it appears in the Enterprise UI). Have you tried including description_html in the DescriptiveEvidence part of your query?

Hi Uthman, I tried querying a few different options for evidence and it always comes back null. With regards to what I'm querying, I'd love to be able to pull all the issues from a scan in one call like how it appears in the Enterprise UI. However, from what I understand with the graph call, I have to provide the count, start and type_index calling for issues which means I can't, unless that accepts an array of indexes? There was no reference to these parameters in the documentation that I saw, I only got the syntax from the error messages being returned.

Hi Peter, You should be able to retrieve all the issue types for a scan using the below: query GetScan { scan(id: 34) { issue_types(severities: [], novelties: [], confidences: []) { type_index confidence severity number_of_children } } }

Thanks - yup, I can already grab all the issue_types but I want to grab all the issues and from what I can tell I can't, I have to provide the specific type_index: {"query": "{ scan(id: 64) { id, start_time, issues(count: 10, start: 0, type_index:2097920) { path, severity, description_html, remediation_html, confidence } } }" }

Thanks for that information - you are right. It looks like you have the option to retrieve all type indexes or issues for a specific type index but not all issues for a scan. I will raise a feature request for you and let you know when this has been added to the API.

Hi Peter, We have made some changes to the GraphQL API that should have resolved the issues you were facing. You should now be able to retrieve all issues for a scan. Please can you double-check that this is working as expected and let me know if you encounter any issues?

Hi, I would like to report some issues similar to this post. I need to get the issues (all the issues) for a scan, my query is the next: query GetScan ($id: ID!){ scan(id: $id){ id status issues(count: 10, start: 0, severities:[high, medium]){ issue_type { name } serial_number path origin confidence severity description_html } } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Response { "issue_type": null, "serial_number": "6538471311210608640", "path": "/default.jsp", "origin": "[webapp]", "confidence": "certain", "severity": "high", "description_html": null }, I think there are some problems with the API GraphQL because that query return some null values, in this case "description_html" and "issue_type". I need to get the issue type and more information about all the issues in a scan. if there is some error in my query tell me, because the API doesn´t give me any error, only null values.
