  • type : the method of access for the database. (Default: "sqlite3")
  • SQLite3Path : Should only be set when using "sqlite" otherwise unused. (Default: SQLite3 in current directory)
  • url : specifies the url to access the database.

Slack section

[slack]
hookURL      = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/abc123/defghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
#legacyToken  = "xoxp-11111111111-222222222222-3333333333"
channel      = "#channel-name"
#channel      = "${servername}"
iconEmoji    = ":ghost:"
authUser     = "username"
notifyUsers  = ["@username"]

  • hookURL or legacyToken.
    If there are a lot of vulnerabilities, it is better to use legacyToken since the Slack notification will be flooded.

  • hookURL : Incoming web-hook's URL (hookURL is ignored when legacyToken is set.)
    Vuls-slack

  • legacyToken : slack legacy token
    Vuls-slack-thread

  • channel : channel name.

If you set ${servername} to channel, the report will be sent to each channel.
In the following example, the report will be sent to the #server1 and #server2.
Be sure to create these channels before scanning.

[slack]
channel      = "${servername}"
...snip...

[servers]

[servers.server1]
host         = "172.31.4.82"
...snip...

[servers.server2]
host         = "172.31.4.83"
...snip...
  • iconEmoji: emoji
  • authUser: username of the slack team
  • notifyUsers: a list of Slack usernames to send Slack notifications. If you set ["@foo", "@bar"] to notifyUsers, @foo @bar will be included in text.
    So @foo, @bar can receive mobile push notifications on their smartphone.

HTTP section

Gmail account setting

If you can't send vuls report via Email, please check your Gmail account setting.

  1. Access Manage your Google Account -> "Security" tab
  2. Check Signing in to Google -> "Use your phone to sign in" and "2-Step Verification" is OFF
  3. Check "Less secure app access" is On
