I have integrated Qualys with ServiceNow and it started created items and groups with Qualys Ids (QIDs). The issue with these QIDs is that Threat and Solution fields are coming as blank. There must be some information about this third party vulnerability.
What do you think? Is Qualys sending a blank info or I am missing something?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, this is a Qualys issue. This is common.
1. Double check that your user account has API Access
Qualys > User Profile > User Role (Make sure API is checked)
2. Qualys support can turn on the API for you to access if you are entitled.

I have all 19 records in NVD Auto Update and all of them are set to Auto Update to true. I see entries from 2002 to 2018 and Recent and Modified.
I did run the NIST National Vulnerability Database and it says complete and success.
After this I did check for QID Threat and Solution, still it is blank. Do you think Qualys does not have any info in these Ids?

Maybe Qualys does not have the data.

Ok, time to break out curl or Postman and run:
https://qualysapi.qualys.com/api/2.0/fo/knowledge_base/vuln/?action=list&details=All&ids=20092
See if it is returning what you expect.
- Make sure you have API access
- Make sure of your URL to qualys
- Fine a target KB number in qualys that has the info you are looking for
(In my data feed I have threat and solution from Qualys...)

I am getting below info in the body after sending the request. Am I missing something here?
