Used by Security Hub customers to update information about their investigation into a finding. Requested by master accounts or member accounts. Master accounts can update findings for their account and their member accounts. Member accounts can update findings for their account.

Updates from BatchUpdateFindings do not affect the value of UpdatedAt for a finding.

Master accounts can use BatchUpdateFindings to update the following finding fields and objects.

• Confidence

• Criticality

• Note

• RelatedFindings

• Severity

• Types

• UserDefinedFields

• VerificationState

• Workflow

Member accounts can only use BatchUpdateFindings to update the Note object.

type FindingIdentifiers

list

param FindingIdentifiers

[REQUIRED]

The list of findings to update. BatchUpdateFindings can be used to update up to 100 findings at a time.

For each finding, the list provides the finding identifier and the ARN of the finding provider.

• (dict) --

  Identifies a finding to update using BatchUpdateFindings .

  • Id (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The identifier of the finding that was specified by the finding provider.

  • ProductArn (string) -- [REQUIRED]

    The ARN generated by Security Hub that uniquely identifies a product that generates findings. This can be the ARN for a third-party product that is integrated with Security Hub, or the ARN for a custom integration.

type Note

dict

param Note

The updated note.

• Text (string) -- [REQUIRED]

  The updated note text.

• UpdatedBy (string) -- [REQUIRED]

  The principal that updated the note.

type Severity

dict

param Severity

Used to update the finding severity.

• Normalized (integer) --

  The normalized severity for the finding. This attribute is to be deprecated in favor of Label .

  If you provide Normalized and do not provide Label , Label is set automatically as follows.

  • 0 - INFORMATIONAL

  • 1–39 - LOW

  • 40–69 - MEDIUM

  • 70–89 - HIGH

  • 90–100 - CRITICAL

• Product (float) --

  The native severity as defined by the AWS service or integrated partner product that generated the finding.

• Label (string) --

  The severity value of the finding. The allowed values are the following.

  • INFORMATIONAL - No issue was found.

  • LOW - The issue does not require action on its own.

  • MEDIUM - The issue must be addressed but not urgently.

  • HIGH - The issue must be addressed as a priority.

  • CRITICAL - The issue must be remediated immediately to avoid it escalating.

type VerificationState

string

param VerificationState

Indicates the veracity of a finding.

The available values for VerificationState are as follows.

• UNKNOWN – The default disposition of a security finding

• TRUE_POSITIVE – The security finding is confirmed

• FALSE_POSITIVE – The security finding was determined to be a false alarm

• BENIGN_POSITIVE – A special case of TRUE_POSITIVE where the finding doesn't pose any threat, is expected, or both

type Confidence

integer

param Confidence

The updated value for the finding confidence. Confidence is defined as the likelihood that a finding accurately identifies the behavior or issue that it was intended to identify.

Confidence is scored on a 0-100 basis using a ratio scale, where 0 means zero percent confidence and 100 means 100 percent confidence.

type Criticality

integer

param Criticality

The updated value for the level of importance assigned to the resources associated with the findings.

A score of 0 means that the underlying resources have no criticality, and a score of 100 is reserved for the most critical resources.

type Types

list

param Types

One or more finding types in the format of namespace/category/classifier that classify a finding.

Valid namespace values are as follows.

• Software and Configuration Checks

• TTPs

• Effects

• Unusual Behaviors

  • RESOLVED - The finding was reviewed and remediated and is now considered resolved.

  • SUPPRESSED - The finding will not be reviewed again and will not be acted upon.

type RelatedFindings
