Vuls

Vuls is an agentless vulnerability scanner written in Go that detects known vulnerabilities in Linux, FreeBSD, containers, WordPress installations, and programming language libraries. It connects to target systems via SSH, collects package information, and cross-references against multiple CVE databases including NVD, OVAL, and vendor-specific advisories to produce detailed vulnerability reports. System administrators and security teams use Vuls to maintain continuous visibility into their infrastructure's vulnerability posture without deploying agents on every host. Its agentless architecture, Slack and email notifications, and integration with vulnerability management dashboards make it particularly suited for organizations managing large fleets of heterogeneous Linux and FreeBSD systems.
