# Patch Vulnerability

#### Description <a href="#description" id="description"></a>

Patches an existing AttackForge vulnerability (also called a finding or issue) inside a project. Only the fields supplied in `args` are changed; omitted fields are left untouched.

A two-step workflow is **required**:

1. Call `get_args_schema_for_tool(tool="patch_vulnerability")` to retrieve the current JSON Schema for `args`.
2. Build `args` to match that schema and call this tool.

The schema requires at minimum a vulnerability id (source: `find_vulnerabilities`) and a project id (source: `find_projects`, or the `project_ids` on the vulnerability returned by `find_vulnerabilities`). Preconditions: the caller needs Edit access to the target project. Any rich-text field must use the AttackForge richtext format from the `richtext_format` block. On success the patched vulnerability id is returned.

#### How To Enable <a href="#how-to-enable" id="how-to-enable"></a>

1. Go to `Users`
2. Select the user you would like to provide access to this tool
3. Click on `Access > MCP`
4. Click on `Add Tools`
5. Select the tool `patch_vulnerability` and click `Add`

#### Example Prompts <a href="#example-prompts" id="example-prompts"></a>

* *Change the priority of vulnerability X to Critical.*
* *Mark vulnerability X as closed.*
* *Update the steps to reproduce on this finding.*
* *Set the CVE custom field on vulnerability X to CVE-2025-26943.*

#### Parameters <a href="#parameters" id="parameters"></a>

| `args`    | object | Yes      | The vulnerability-patch payload. Build it to satisfy `get_args_schema_for_tool(tool="patch_vulnerability")`. Requires at minimum a vulnerability id and a project id; other keys apply a partial update. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.attackforge.com/app/modules/ai-mcp-and-skills/patch-vulnerability.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
