Tenable for Jira Cloud

This integration is designed to pull Tenable.io vulnerability data, then generate Jira Tasks and sub-tasks based on the vulnerabilities' current state. Vulnerabilities are automatically closed once the state of the vulnerability is marked as "fixed" in Tenable.io or Tenable.sc.

• The integration creates a Vulnerability Management project using the project key VULN. The integration then creates the appropriate custom fields and links them to the associated screen that stores and displays all of the necessary information.
• The integration creates a Task for each Vulnerability and creates each vulnerability instance as a Sub-task. Example: if you have 5 hosts with plugin 151074, the integration creates 1 Task with the details of 151074 and creates 5 Sub-tasks, each one pointing to a specific instance of the vulnerability on a specific host.
• Vulnerability Instances (Sub-tasks) are closed automatically by the integration once the vulnerability is fixed in Tenable.io.
• Vulnerabilities (Tasks) are closed once all Sub-tasks enter a closed state.
• If a vulnerability is re-opened, new issue tickets are generated (The integration will not reopen previously closed issues (otherwise known as necromancy))
• All data imports from Tenable.io use the last_found/last_seen fields. This ensures that all issues are updated whenever new information becomes available.
• For those that don't mind a bit more management of the script in exchange for less permissions, there is a setup-only mode that will create the project, fields, and screens, then generate a full configuration file afterwards.
• Task summaries are generated using the following formula:

[Plugin ID] Plugin Name

• Sub-task summaries are generated using the following formula:

[IP Address/Port Number/Protocol] [Plugin ID] Plugin Name

• The integration will create the following fields into the Jira instance

  • CVEs
  • CVSSv2 Base Score
  • CVSSv2 Temporal Score
  • CVSSv3 Base Score
  • CVSSv3 Temporal Score
  • Device DNS Name
  • Device IPv4 Addresses
  • Device IPv6 Addresses
  • Device Hostname
  • Device MAC Addresses
  • Device NetBIOS Name
  • Device Network ID
  • Tenable Asset UUID
  • Tenable Platform
  • Tenable Plugin Family
  • Tenable Plugin ID
  • Tenable Plugin Name
  • Tenable VPR Score
  • Vulnerability First Seen
  • Vulnerability Last Seen
  • Vulnerability Last Fixed
  • Vulnerability State
  • Vulnerability Port
  • Vulnerability Protocol
  • Vulnerability Repository ID
  • Vulnerability Repository Name
  • Vulnerability Severity

• Vulnerability Definition (Task Issuetype) uniqueness is determined by the following attributes:

  • Tenable Plugin ID

• Vulnerability Instance (Sub-Task Issuetype) uniqueness is determines by the following attributes:

  • Tenable Platform
  • Tenable Plugin ID
  • Tenable Asset UUID
  • Device IPv4 Addresses
  • Device IPv6 Addresses
  • Vulnerability Port
  • Vulnerability Protocol

Requirements

• Python 3.6+ Installed (Versions less than 3.6 are untested and YMMV).
• Tenable.io API Keys associated to an account with Admin privileges (required for the Vuln Export APIs) and is associated to the "All Access" access group.
• Tenable.sc API Keys (or Username/Password) associated to an account with full access to the vulnerability data.
• For Tenable.sc, an Analysis Query ID that represents the query to run against the vulnerability data.
• Jira Cloud Basic Auth API Token and Username. For automatic project creation and management, the account must have Admin privileges.
• A host to run the script on. This can be located anywhere as the integration is cloud-to-cloud.

Permissions

• The script requires Site Admin Access at least initially to create the project, the custom fields, and link everything to the right screens.
• The script requires Admin access to the project that it has created. Depending on the permissions setup within your own Jira Cloud instance, this may not be enough however. If you are seeing errors, please refer to the list of required permissions (below).
• If using setup-only (as Admin) to let the script create all of the requirements, afterwards, it's been reported that the following permissions should yeild successful runs:
  • Assignable User
  • Assign Issues
  • Close Issues
  • Create Issues
  • Delete Issues
  • Edit Issues
  • Link Issues
  • Modify Reporter
  • Move Issues
  • Resolve Issues
  • Schedule Issues
  • Set Issue Security
  • Transition Issues

Quickstart

for detailed instructions, please refer to the wiki.

Setup

pip install tenable-jira-cloud

Configuration

In order to configure the integration, you need to provide the script with a configuration file in YAML format. The example config file details the items required for the script to run. A simple Tenable.io example looks like the following:

tenable:
  access_key: 000001773236158ce8943c7369c12f98c092be2e1582b95ef86da5a6c3700000
  secret_key: 111111773236158ce8943c7369c12f98c092be2e1582b95ef86da5a6c3711111

jira:
  api_token: 11111scPw10lX2WvDoj00000
  api_username: [email protected]
  address: company.atlassian.net

project:
  leadAccountId: 554433:00112233-ffee-aabb-aabb-998877665544

A Tenable.sc example using API keys would look like:

tenable:
  platform: tenable.sc
  address: tenablesc.company.tld
  query_id: 406
  access_key: 000001773236158ce8943c7369c12f98c092be2e1582b95ef86da5a6c3700000
  secret_key: 111111773236158ce8943c7369c12f98c092be2e1582b95ef86da5a6c3711111

jira:
  api_token: 11111scPw10lX2WvDoj00000
  api_username: [email protected]
  address: company.atlassian.net

project:
  leadAccountId: 554433:00112233-ffee-aabb-aabb-998877665544

The same example using username/password would look like:

tenable:
  platform: tenable.sc
  address: tenablesc.company.tld
  query_id: 406
  username: api_user
  password: sekretsquirrel

jira:
  api_token: 11111scPw10lX2WvDoj00000
  api_username: [email protected]
  address: company.atlassian.net

project:
  leadAccountId: 554433:00112233-ffee-aabb-aabb-998877665544

Options

Most of the configuration options for this script are contained within the configuration file itself with only a few options exposed via the commandline interface:

Usage: tenable-jira [OPTIONS] [CONFIGFILE]

  Tenable.io -> Jira Cloud Transformer & Ingester

Options:
  -s, --observed-since INTEGER  The unix timestamp of the age threshold
  --setup-only                  Performs setup tasks and generates a config
                                file.
  --help                        Show this message and exit.

The following environment variables can be used:

SINCE               The observed-since option.
RUN_EVERY           The run-every option.

By default, the integration will only create jira tickets for CRITICAL and HIGH tenable findings only. To create jira tickets for MEDIUM and LOW severity findings as well, update the config.yaml file to add the tio_severities to the tenable section, as shown here:

tenable:
  access_key: 000001773236158ce8943c7369c12f98c092be2e1582b95ef86da5a6c3700000
  secret_key: 111111773236158ce8943c7369c12f98c092be2e1582b95ef86da5a6c3711111
  
  tio_severities:
    - critical
    - high
    - medium
    - low

...

Example Usage

Basic Run:

tenable-jira config.yaml

Run and only import findings seen since yesterday:

tenable-jira -s $(date -v-1d +%s) config.yaml

Generate a config file to sidestep setup & validation:

tenable-jira config.yaml --setup-only

Common Problems

JIRA Cloud's API doesn't have hard linkages between a projects, screens, and issuetypes. While the integration generally seems to select the appropriate screens and issuetypes, sometimes for various reasons it will fail. When this happens the integration will error in one of a couple of predictable ways.

Common issue 1: Invalid Issuetypes

Refer to tenable#18 (comment) and tenable#23 (comment)

Common issue 2: No Screens selected

tenable#23 (comment)
