Technical Documentation and API Q&A for Vulnerability Disclosure Handling: Source Citation and Traceability

Data for this category is maintained by project security response teams, maintainers, or security researchers. Sources include private vulnerability

What Data for This Category Looks Like

Data for this category is maintained by project security response teams, maintainers, or security researchers. Sources include private vulnerability reports, code repositories, official channels of CVE numbering bodies, and project release channels. Data is updated per single vulnerability event. Daily documentation formats include security advisories, vulnerability reports, fix patch packages, and CVE application materials. Core fields include unique vulnerability identifiers, impact scope, patch links, disclosure time, and fix descriptions. There is no fixed batch update cycle. Data is generated or updated only when new vulnerabilities are discovered, fixed, or disclosed.

Constraints for Source Citation and Traceability

Single vulnerability event data has a small volume but strong correlation. Traceability must accurately bind all sources associated with the corresponding event to avoid mixing unrelated data. Original content of private vulnerability reports must be encrypted and linked to traceability records to prevent unauthorized access. CVE numbers serve as unique identifiers and must be used as the core association field for traceability. Data formats vary widely across different sources. Unified standardization must be completed before traceability verification can proceed. Additionally, the disclosure time coordination process requires traceability information to include accurate source timestamps to ensure consistency of disclosure schedules.

Configuration Settings

This configuration applies to FastGPT v4.17.0 and later versions.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
quoteMaxToken800–1200 tokenMatches the average length of single vulnerability-related documents for this category, avoids truncating core traceability information
responseData["cve_id", "vuln_scope", "patch_link", "disclosure_time"]Covers core fields of data for this category, ensures complete traceability information
detailtrueEnables return of full source context to meet traceability verification requirements
Maximum number of cited sourcesTop 5Matches the typical number of sources for a single vulnerability event, avoids recalling unrelated data
Context window reserve200 charactersReserves space for supplementary auxiliary information for traceability verification

Three Common Configuration Errors

  • Troubleshooting: If an API call returns a red numeric error code, check whether AIPROXY_API_ENDPOINT (root address of the AI Proxy service, format example: http://aiproxy:3000, no additional path suffix) and non-empty AIPROXY_API_TOKEN (AI Proxy administrator token, must match the configuration on the AI Proxy server) are configured in the App/Admin server. Missing these configurations will cause service startup verification failure.
  • Phenomenon: Generated responses do not display any cited source information. Cause: The detail configuration item is not set to true, and the traceability information return logic is not enabled.
  • Phenomenon: Traceability results include non-vulnerability-related document content. Cause: quoteMaxToken or maximum number of cited sources is not restricted, causing recall of data outside the target scope.

How to Confirm Configuration Is Complete

  • Check FastGPT service startup logs to confirm there are no error messages related to AI Proxy startup verification failures.
  • Initiate an API Q&A request for the vulnerability disclosure scenario, and check whether the returned results include the fields specified in the responseData configuration item.
  • Verify that the returned traceability information corresponds one-to-one with the core data fields of this category.
  • Test triggering a traceability verification process after a vulnerability disclosure, confirm that all associated sources are correctly identified.
