# Vulnerability Findings API **(ULTIMATE)**

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/19029) in GitLab 12.5.

NOTE:
This API resource is renamed from Vulnerabilities to Vulnerability Findings because the Vulnerabilities are reserved
for serving [Vulnerability objects](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/13561).
To fix any broken integrations with the former Vulnerabilities API, change the `vulnerabilities` URL part to be
`vulnerability_findings`.

Every API call to vulnerability findings must be [authenticated](rest/index.md#authentication).

If a user does not have permission to
[use the Project Security Dashboard](../user/permissions.md#project-members-permissions),
any request for vulnerability findings of this project returns a `403 Forbidden` status code.

WARNING:
This API is in the process of being deprecated and considered unstable.
The response payload may be subject to change or breakage
across GitLab releases. Please use the
[GraphQL API](graphql/reference/index.md#queryvulnerabilities)
instead. See the [GraphQL examples](#replace-vulnerability-findings-rest-api-with-graphql) to get started.

## Vulnerability findings pagination

By default, `GET` requests return 20 results at a time because the API results
are paginated.

Read more on [pagination](rest/index.md#pagination).

## List project vulnerability findings

List all of a project's vulnerability findings.

```plaintext
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?report_type=sast
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?report_type=container_scanning
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?report_type=sast,dast
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?scope=all
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?scope=dismissed
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?severity=high
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?confidence=unknown,experimental
GET /projects/:id/vulnerability_findings?pipeline_id=42
```

WARNING:
Beginning with GitLab 12.9, the `undefined` severity and confidence level is no longer reported.

## Replace Vulnerability Findings REST API with GraphQL

To prepare for the [upcoming deprecation](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5118) of
the Vulnerability Findings REST API endpoint, use the examples below to perform the equivalent operations
with the GraphQL API.

### GraphQL - Project vulnerabilities

Use [`Project.vulnerabilities`](graphql/reference/index.md#projectvulnerabilities).

```graphql
{
  project(fullPath: "root/security-reports") {
    vulnerabilities {
      nodes{
        id
        reportType
        title
        severity
        scanner {
          externalId
          name
          vendor
        }
        identifiers {
          externalType
          externalId
          name
          url
        }
        falsePositive
        project {
          id
          name
          fullPath
        }
        description
        links {
          name
          url
        }
        location {
          ... on
          VulnerabilityLocationSast {
            file
            startLine
            endLine
            vulnerableClass
            vulnerableMethod
            blobPath
          }
        }
        details {
          ... on
          VulnerabilityDetailCode {
            description
            fieldName
            lang
            name
            value
          }
        }
        state
      }
    }
  }
}
```
