metadata Metadata context Required Metadata The metadata associated with the event or a finding.
observables Observables primary Recommended Observable Array The observables associated with the event or a finding.
osint OSINT primary Required OSINT Array The OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) object contains details related to an indicator such as the indicator itself, related indicators, geolocation, registrar information, subdomains, analyst commentary, and other contextual information. This information can be used to further enrich a detection or finding by providing decisioning support to other analysts and engineers.
raw_data Raw Data context Optional String The raw event/finding data as received from the source.
resource Resource primary Recommended Resource Details Describes details about the resource that is affected by the vulnerability/vulnerabilities.
DEPRECATED since v1.3.0
Use the resources attribute instead.
resources Affected Resources primary Recommended Resource Details Array Describes details about the resource/resources that are affected by the vulnerability/vulnerabilities.
severity Severity classification Optional String The event/finding severity, normalized to the caption of the severity_id value. In the case of 'Other', it is defined by the source.
This is the string sibling of enum attribute severity_id.
severity_id Severity ID classification Required Integer

The normalized identifier of the event/finding severity.

The normalized severity is a measurement the effort and expense required to manage and resolve an event or incident. Smaller numerical values represent lower impact events, and larger numerical values represent higher impact events.
0Unknown
The event/finding severity is unknown.
1Informational
Informational message. No action required.
2Low
The user decides if action is needed.
3Medium
Action is required but the situation is not serious at this time.
4High
Action is required immediately.
5Critical
Action is required immediately and the scope is broad.
6Fatal
An error occurred but it is too late to take remedial action.
99Other
The event/finding severity is not mapped. See the severity attribute, which contains a data source specific value.
This is an enum attribute; its string sibling is severity.
start_time Start Time occurrence Optional Timestamp The time of the least recent event included in the finding.
start_time_dt Start Time occurrence Optional Datetime The time of the least recent event included in the finding.
