Nuclei

Nuclei is an open-source project that enables automated detection and exploitation of vulnerabilities in web applications.

Auditor Job Name: Nuclei Scan, Nuclei Infrastructure Auditor image: registry.gitlab.com/whitespots-public/security-images/nuclei:2.9.9 AppSec Portal Importer Name: Nuclei Scan

It supports a variety of protocols, including HTTP, DNS, and FTP, and allows users to create custom templates for scanning.

One interesting feature of Nuclei is its ability to automatically correlate multiple vulnerabilities into a single issue. This can save time and effort for security teams, as it eliminates the need to manually review and correlate multiple vulnerabilities across different scans.

Curl example

curl -X POST localhost/api/v1/scan/import/ -H "Authorization: Token a75bb26171cf391671e67b128bfc8ae1c779ff7b" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "file=@./report-nuclei.json" -F "product_name=Product1" -F "product_type=Application" -F "scanner_name=Nuclei Scan" -F "branch=dev" -F "domain=whitespots.io"

8. -F "branch=<branch_name>": (optional) specifies the name of the branch in the source code repository (if applicable) This parameter is particularly useful when you want to associate the scan results with a specific branch in your repository. If not provided, the scan will be associated with the default branch
