Request Parameters
Expand

Parameters must be passed in as query string (as opposed to JSON) in the format of: /plugin?filterField=id&op=eq&value=1&...

NOTE #1: parameter "since" refers to plugins that have been modified since a given date.

NOTE #2: The <string> portion of the "xrefs:<string>" parameter is associated with a valid Xref field type. Valid Xref types at the time of this documentation are:

 "ALAS" | "APPLE-SA" | "AUSCERT" | "BID" | "CERT" | "CERT-CC" | "CERT-FI" | "CERTA" | "CISCO-BUG-ID" | "CISCO-SA" | "CISCO-SR" | "CLSA" | "CONECTIVA" | "CVE" | "CWE" | "DSA" | "EDB-ID" | "FEDORA" | "FLSA" | "FreeBSD" | "GLSA" | "HP" | "HPSB" | "IAVA" | "IAVB" | "IAVT" | "ICS-ALERT" | "ICSA" | "MDKSA" | "MDVSA" | "MGASA" | "MSFT" | "MSVR" | "NSFOCUS" | "NessusID" | "OSVDB" | "OWASP" | "OpenPKG-SA" | "RHSA" | "SSA" | "Secunia" | "SuSE" | "TLSA" | "TSLSA" | "USN" | "VMSA" | "zone-h"

NOTE #3: The parameter "filters" allows filtering using multiple filters sent as json object.

  • The values for index filterField in filters param is same as the 'filterField' request param. 
  • The values for index filterOperator in filters param is same as the 'op' request param.

If filterField param is send in request then filters param cannot be used.

When processing\nmaliciously crafted mails of type text\/html mhonarc does not\ndeactivate all scripting parts properly. This is fixed in upstream\nversion 2.5.3.\n\nIf you are worried about security, it is recommended that you disable\nsupport of text\/html messages in your mail archives. There is no\nguarantee that the mhtxthtml.pl library is robust enough to eliminate\nall possible exploits that can occur with HTML data.\n\nTo exclude HTML data, you can use the MIMEEXCS resource. For example :\n\n    <MIMEExcs> text\/html text\/x-html <\/MIMEExcs>\n\nThe type 'text\/x-html' is probably not used any more, but is good to\ninclude it, just-in-case.\n\nIf you are concerned that this could block out the entire contents of\nsome messages, then you could do the following instead :\n\n    <MIMEFilters> text\/html; m2h_text_plain::filter; mhtxtplain.pl\n    text\/x-html; m2h_text_plain::filter; mhtxtplain.pl <\/MIMEFilters>\n\nThis treats the HTML as text\/plain.\n\nThe above problems have been fixed in version 2.5.2-1.1 for the\ncurrent stable distribution (woody), in version 2.4.4-1.1 for the old\nstable distribution (potato) and in version 2.5.11-1 for the unstable\ndistribution (sid)."
