XRAY: Resolving "Failed to Persist Vulnerability" in Xray Create Issue Event API

Introduction 

When trying to persist a custom issue by the JFrog Xray API, the server responds with a 500 Internal Server Error.

 


Root Cause 

The id field for a custom vulnerability issue in JFrog Xray has a strict character length limit of 32 characters. If the provided id exceeds this limit, it will cause a database insertion failure.
And you can see the error message in the xray-server-service.log:

 


Resolution 

Ensure that the id field in your API payload does not exceed 32 characters. For example:
Original Payload:

"id": "CustomIssue_rhOUogrEA0IEz8NPxxxxxxxx"

Corrected Payload:

"id": "CustomIssue_rhOUogrEA0IEz8NP"  // Total <= 32 characters
