Pentera

PlexTrac supports importing JSON files from Pentera, but only JSON files exported specifically for PlexTrac will be accepted.

Exporting Pentera Findings

Findings of any Pentera task can be exported to a JSON compatible format to be imported into PlexTrac.
Step 1: Click Testing History from the left menu.
Step 2: Select a test from the list to open.
Choose a test that has finished and no longer in progress.
Step 3: Click the Export icon.
Step 4: From the modal that appears, under "Export to other tools," click PlexTrac.
The findings of the test will be downloaded in a JSON format that is compatible with PlexTrac.
Each export file from Pentera contains the following:
  • The list of assets tested by Pentera within the scope of the particular test.
  • The list of vulnerabilities discovered during the test, and the assets affected by each vulnerability. Discovery time is included in the dataset.
  • The list of Pentera achievements during the test, and the assets affected by each achievement. Discovery time is included in the dataset. In Pentera, an achievement is Pentera’s ethical exploitation of a vulnerability or exposure, intended to demonstrate its exploitability.

Finding Severity Mappings

Pentera uses a numerical range of 1 to 10 to capture a finding severity, while PlexTrac uses five qualitative values: Informational, Low, Medium, High, Critical.
PlexTrac
Pentera
Informational
0
Low
0.01 to 2.49
Medium
2.5 to 4.99
High
5 to 7.49
Critical
7.5 to 10
A Pentera finding may be either a vulnerability or an achievement, where an achievement is Pentera’s ethical exploitation of a vulnerability or exposure that is intended to demonstrate its exploitability.
