You can add one or more of the following criteria. Values are not case-sensitive and the `EQUALS` operator is used unless otherwise specified. Vulnerability state: `vulnerabilityState("value")`. Find the possible values in the description of the vulnerabilityState field of the response. If not set, all entities are returned. Muted: `muted("value")`. Possible values are `TRUE` or `FALSE`. Reachable data asset assessment: `assessment.dataAssets("value")` Possible values are `REACHABLE`, and `NOT_DETECTED`. Network exposure assessment: `assessment.exposure("value")` Possible values are `PUBLIC_NETWORK`, and `NOT_DETECTED`. Vulnerable function usage assessment: `assessment.vulnerableFunctionUsage("value")` Possible values are `IN_USE`, and `NOT_IN_USE`. Vulnerable function restart required: `assessment.vulnerableFunctionRestartRequired("value")` Possible values are `TRUE` or `FALSE`. Vulnerable function in use contains: `assessment.vulnerableFunctionInUseContains("value")`. Possible values are `class::function`, `class::` and `function`. The `CONTAINS` operator is used. Only vulnerable functions in use are considered. Assessment accuracy: `assessment.accuracy("value")` Possible values are `FULL` and `REDUCED`. Entity name contains: `entityNameContains("value-1")`. The `CONTAINS` operator is used. Tracking link display name: `trackingLink.displayNameContains("value")`. The `CONTAINS` operator is used. To set several criteria, separate them with a comma (`,`).

remediationItemSelector

string

Defines the scope of the query. Only remediable entities matching the specified criteria are included in the response.

You can add one or more of the following criteria. Values are not case-sensitive and the EQUALS operator is used unless otherwise specified.

Vulnerability state: vulnerabilityState("value"). Find the possible values in the description of the vulnerabilityState field of the response. If not set, all entities are returned.
Muted: muted("value"). Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
Reachable data asset assessment: assessment.dataAssets("value") Possible values are REACHABLE, and NOT_DETECTED.
Network exposure assessment: assessment.exposure("value") Possible values are PUBLIC_NETWORK, and NOT_DETECTED.
Vulnerable function usage assessment: assessment.vulnerableFunctionUsage("value") Possible values are IN_USE, and NOT_IN_USE.
Vulnerable function restart required: assessment.vulnerableFunctionRestartRequired("value") Possible values are TRUE or FALSE.
Vulnerable function in use contains: assessment.vulnerableFunctionInUseContains("value"). Possible values are class::function, class:: and function. The CONTAINS operator is used. Only vulnerable functions in use are considered.
Assessment accuracy: assessment.accuracy("value") Possible values are FULL and REDUCED.
Entity name contains: entityNameContains("value-1"). The CONTAINS operator is used.
Tracking link display name: trackingLink.displayNameContains("value"). The CONTAINS operator is used.

To set several criteria, separate them with a comma (,). Only results matching all criteria are included in the response.

Specify the value of a criterion as a quoted string. The following special characters must be escaped with a tilde (~) inside quotes:
