NvdRoughVersionMatch	80	CPE scan	Rough version match for non-semantic versioning as defined in NVD.
NvdVendorProductMatch	10	CPE scan	When the version is not defined for the CPE specified in config.toml. There is a possibility of false positives.
JvnVendorProductMatch	10	CPE scan	Detected by Jvn. Affected Version in JVN is not a parsable format, so it is matched by Part, Vendor and Product. There is a possibility of false positives.
FortinetExactVersionMatch	100	CPE scan	Range match in semantic versioning format or an exact match.
FortinetRoughVersionMatch	80	CPE scan	Rough version match for non-semantic versioning as defined in Fortinet.
FortinetVendorProductMatch	10	CPE scan	When the version is not defined for the CPE specified in config.toml. There is a possibility of false positives.
ChangelogExactMatch	95	CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Raspbian	Exact version match between changelog and package version.
ChangelogRoughMatch	50	Ubuntu, Debian, Raspbian	Rough version match between changelog and package version.

Example: Generate all client scan reports

# Show scan history
$ vuls history

# Generate reports for all scan history
$ for REPORT_DATE in $(vuls history | awk '{ print $1 }') ; do echo "$REPORT_DATE" | vuls report -format-one-line-text -pipe ; done

# Generate reports for a specific date
vuls history | grep "DATE" | vuls report -format-one-line-text -pipe

Example: Difference between previous result and current result

The -diff-plus option detects new or updated vulnerabilities compared to the previous json.The one with _diff.json is output. The -diff-minus option detects vulnerabilities that have already been patched compared to the previous json.The one with _diff.json is output. -diff option turns on both options -diff-plus and -diff-minus

# After vuls scan, get minus difference.
$ vuls report -diff-minus -to-localfile -format-json

Example: Specify the path of go-cve-dictionary, goval-dictionary and gost

config.toml

[cveDict]
type = "sqlite3"
SQLite3Path = "/path/to/cve.sqlite3"

[ovalDict]
type = "sqlite3"
SQLite3Path = "/path/to/oval.sqlite3"

[gost]
type = "sqlite3"
SQLite3Path = "/path/to/gost.sqlite3"

[exploit]
type = "sqlite3"
SQLite3Path = "/path/to/go-exploitdb.sqlite3"

[metasploit]
type = "sqlite3"
SQLite3Path = "/path/to/go-msfdb.sqlite3"

[kevuln]
type = "sqlite3"
SQLite3Path = "/path/to/go-kev.sqlite3"

[cti]
type = "sqlite3"
SQLite3Path = "/path/to/go-cti.sqlite3"

Example: Send scan results to another endpoint

Define HTTP section in config.toml

$ vuls report \
      -to-http \
      -format-json

Sample PHP code on the endpoint side:

<?php
$tmp_file = __DIR__ . '/vuls-'. uniqid() . '.json';
file_put_contents($tmp_file, file_get_contents("php://input"));
if (file_exists($tmp_file)) {
    $raw_json_data = file_get_contents($tmp_file);
    $json_data = json_decode($raw_json_data);
    $scanned_hostname = $json_data->{'serverName'};
    $new_file = __DIR__ . '/' . strtolower($scanned_hostname) . '.json';
    rename($tmp_file, $new_file);
}
?>

Source: vuls.php

The following code will simply create a JSON file named with the hostname extracted that way hostname.json. It will be created in the same location of the vuls.php file.

Example: Send scan results to email

Define EMail section in config.toml

Example: Put results in S3 bucket

To put results in S3 bucket, configure following settings in AWS before reporting.

Create S3 bucket. See Creating a Bucket
Configure access to S3 resources. You can do this in several ways:
- Configure the environment variables. See Configuring the AWS Command Line Interface
- Configure the security credentials. See Configuring the AWS Command Line Interface
- Create an IAM role for the service and attach it to the service (EC2, AWS Lambda). Creating a Role to Delegate Permissions to an AWS Service
To configure environment variables, security credentials, create an access key. See Managing Access Keys for IAM Users

Example of IAM policy:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::vuls/*"
        }
    ]
}

config.toml

[aws]
profile = "default"
region = "ap-northeast-1"
s3Bucket = "vuls"
s3ServerSideEncryption = "AES256"

reporting

$ vuls report \
      -to-s3 \
      -format-json

With this sample command, it will ..

Put scan result(JSON) in S3 bucket

with AES256
bucket name is "vuls"
ap-northeast-1
profile is "default"
The Server-side encryption algorithm (e.g., AES256, aws:kms).

Example: Put results in Azure Blob storage

To put results in Azure Blob Storage, configure following settings in Azure before reporting.

Create a Azure Blob container

config.toml

[azure]
accountName = "default"
accountKey = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
containerName "vuls"

$ vuls report -to-azure-blob
...

With this sample command, it will ..

Put scan result(JSON) in Azure Blob Storage.

container name is "vuls"
storage account is "test"
accesskey is "access-key-string"

account and access key can be defined in environment variables.

$ export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT=test
$ export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY=access-key-string
$ vuls report -to-azure-blob

Example: Put results in Google Cloud Storage

vuls report doesn’t support Google Cloud Strorage option If you want to put scan result(JSON) in Google Cloud Storage, please use gsutil

$ gsutil cp ./results/yyyyMMdd_HHmm/servername.json gs://my-awesome-bucket

see Quickstart: Using the gsutil tool

Example: IgnoreCves

Define ignoreCves in config if you don't want to report(Slack, EMail, Text...) specific CVE IDs.

config.toml

[default]
ignoreCves = ["CVE-2016-6313"]

[servers.bsd]
host     = "192.168.11.11"
user     = "kanbe"
ignoreCves = ["CVE-2016-6314"]

Example: IgnoreCves of a container

config.toml

[default]
ignoreCves = ["CVE-2016-6313"]

[servers.cent7]
host     = "192.168.11.11"
user     = "kanbe"

[servers.cent7.containers.romantic_goldberg]
ignoreCves = ["CVE-2016-6314"]

Example: IgnorePkgsRegexp

Define ignorePkgsRegexp in config if you don't want to report(Slack, EMail, Text...) match against the specific regexp google/re2.

[servers.c74]
host     = "192.168.11.11"
user     = "kanbe"
ignorePkgsRegexp = ["^kernel", "^python"]

[servers.c74.containers.romantic_goldberg]
ignorePkgsRegexp = ["^vim"]

Example: GitHub Security Alerts Integration

Usage: Integrate with GitHub Security Alerts

Example: Add optional key-value pairs to JSON

Optional key-value can be outputted to JSON. The key-value in the default section will be overwritten by servers section's key-value. For instance, you can use this field for Azure ResourceGroup name, Azure VM Name and so on.

config.toml

[default]
[default.optional]
key1 = "default_value"
key3 = val3


[servers.bsd]
host     = "192.168.11.11"
user     = "kanbe"
[servers.bsd.optional]
key1 = "val1"
key2 = "val2"

bsd.json

[
  {
    "ServerName": "bsd",
    "Family": "FreeBSD",
    "Release": "10.3-RELEASE",
    .... snip ...
    "Optional": {
        "key1": "val1" ,
