What it is

Vuls is an agent-less vulnerability scanner written in Go that identifies security vulnerabilities across Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, macOS, containers, and network devices by analyzing installed packages against multiple vulnerability databases (NVD, JVN, Red Hat OVAL, Debian OVAL, Ubuntu OVAL, SUSE OVAL). It automatically detects which servers are affected by vulnerabilities and generates periodic reports to prevent security oversight in production environments. Monolithic repository with clear functional separation: cmd/ contains two entrypoints (cmd/vuls for main CLI, cmd/scanner for agent scanning), config/ handles all configuration parsing (TOML, JSON, cloud providers AWS/Azure,…

Read these in order:

config/awsconf.go — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 72 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
logging/logutil.go — Foundation: imported by 50, no internal dependencies of its own.
models/cvecontents.go — Built on the foundation; imported by 78 downstream files.
util/util.go — Built on the foundation; imported by 16 downstream files.
reporter/azureblob.go — Layer 2 — composes lower-level code into reusable abstractions (imported 8×).

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone and build using Go 1.26.3 and Make: (1) Verify the repository manifest before running any setup, as dependencies have future-dated versions that require investigation. (2) Typical Go project setup would be: git cl…

Daily commands:

Cannot definitively infer from provided data. The GNUmakefile presence suggests: make build or make test are likely targets, but exact commands require examining the Makefile contents. Two entry points exist: cmd/vuls/m…

Key cautions & unknowns

GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
1 moderate-severity advisory on direct dependencies
Future-dated dependency versions (MaineK00n/vuls-data-update @20260806, MaineK00n/vuls2 @20260807) require verification before building—these may indicate custom time-based versioning or require specific Git commit…
Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.

Evidence note

Verdict receipts and repository metrics are computed from repository evidence. Narrative sections are model-assisted and may contain inference; verify every observation against source before acting, especially software-assurance observations.

For the complete agent context, use the CLAUDE.md or Cursor rules export.
