Unable to retrieve proofs

[Red5d]

The VulnerabilityInstance class is currently unused: https://github.com/rapid7/nexpose-client/blob/c7f976c58229b80057ea158ec48c2c603e7cf1c5/lib/nexpose/vuln.rb

It lists a "proof" attribute, but I don't see a way to get the proofs for a vulnerability on an asset since it doesn't look like that class is used anywhere else.

Alright, so after a bit of looking - we finally found the answer.

nsc = Nexpose::Connection.new 'nexpose', 'user', 'pass'
nsc.login
nsc.list_assets -- This will actually return your assets, but using the Device class, which will not give you vuln info.

asset = Nexpose::Asset.load(nsc, 1) insert your asset_id instead of 1.
asset.vulnerability_instances -- this is what you're looking for.

Basically you'll need to have the Asset class loaded in order to grab the proof via the VulnerabilityInstance class. Sorry for the confusion, we're going to go ahead and add some comments into the VulnerabilityInstance class pointing back to the Asset class.

Let us know if that gets you passed your sticking point. Thanks.

Heya @Red5d

We went ahead and updated the documentation on the VulnerabilityInstance class to make it a bit easier next time. 9039229
