Hello,

 

I would like to use a script rule to calculate risk ratings for VITs.

 

Does someone has an example of a script to get me started? I'm not sure how the function should look like and which objects are available and what to return.

Hey there,

 

Here is an example of getting started with an 'Advanced' Vulnerability Calculator Rule (Scripted).

  • You have access to the current vulnerable item record (and can dot-walk to reference fields like Vulnerability, Third-Party Entry, CMDB) -- essentially your typical inputs
  • Then you can use those inputs in whatever calculation you need (mapped ranges, weighted, case statements, if statements
  • You'd finish by setting the Risk Score on the target Vulnerable Item record (current.risk_score =xxx)
  • You can also set other values with this method on the Vulnerable Item - though would avoid that if possible and stick to using this to only set Risk Score

Also - if you have not already, check out the VR Process Guide on Page 34 - it walks through approaching the Vulnerability Risk Scoring with a few simplified methods (non-scripted).   This may be something to consider before venturing down the path of Advanced/scripted.
