Vulnerabilities API (ULTIMATE)

Introduced in GitLab Ultimate 12.6.

NOTE: The former Vulnerabilities API was renamed to Vulnerability Findings API and its documentation was moved to a different location. This document now describes the new Vulnerabilities API that provides access to Vulnerabilities.

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 instead.

Every API call to vulnerabilities must be authenticated.

Vulnerability permissions inherit permissions from their project. If a project is private, and a user isn't a member of the project to which the vulnerability belongs, requests to that project returns a 404 Not Found status code.
