Vuls is an agent-less vulnerability scanner written in Go that detects CVEs on Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, macOS, containers, WordPress, programming language libraries, and network devices using databases like NVD, OVAL, and JVN. It supports remote scanning over SSH, local and server modes, fast/deep scan modes, and reports via email, Slack, terminal viewer, or the VulsRepo web UI.
Use cases
- scan servers for known CVEs without installing agents
- monitor new vulnerabilities affecting installed packages
- detect vulnerable language libraries from lock files
- audit Docker containers for security vulnerabilities
- generate regular vulnerability reports via cron
- check for processes needing restart after updates
- scan WordPress plugins and network devices for vulnerabilities
When to choose
- you need agent-less CVE scanning across many servers via SSH
- you manage mixed fleets of Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and macOS hosts
- you want scheduled automated vulnerability reports with Slack/email notifications
- you need to scan non-OS packages, lock files, or containers
When to avoid
- you need in-depth SAST/DAST application security testing rather than CVE scanning
- you require a lightweight agent on each host instead of a central scanner
- your targets are non-Unix systems outside the supported OS list
