Results¶
KICS can export results in multiple formats which can be seen on the following list:
- ASFF (asff)
- CycloneDX (cyclonedx)
- Gitlab SAST (glsast)
- HTML (html)
- JSON (json)
- JUnit (junit)
- PDF (pdf)
- SARIF (sarif)
- SonarQube (sonarqube)
To export in JSON format in current directory, you can use the following command:
./kics scan -p <path-of-your-project-to-scan> -o ./
To generate in other formats you can use the following command:
./kics scan -p <path-of-your-project-to-scan> --report-formats <formats-wanted> -o ./
KICS also can export multiple format in a single scan, to do this the flags output-path and report-formats should be combined, where the output-path will be the directory containing all report files and report-formats all extensions wanted, like following example:
./kics scan -p <path-of-your-project-to-scan> -o ./output --report-formats "all"
The last command will execute the scan and save all types reports on output folder with results name.
You can also change the default name by using the following command:
./kics scan -p <path-of-your-project-to-scan> -o ./output --report-formats "glsast,html,pdf" --output-name kics-result
This will generate an HTML and Gitlab SAST reports on output folder, with kics-result and gl-sast-kics-result names.
Descriptions¶
After the scanning process is done, If an internet connection is available, KICS will try to fetch CIS Proprietary vulnerability descriptions from a HTTP endpoint, this can be disabled with --disable-cis-descriptions. If used in offline mode or no internet connection is available, KICS should use the default descriptions.
In case of using KICS behind a corporate proxy, proxy configurations can be set with environment variables such as HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY
Report examples¶
JSON¶
The JSON report is the default report to be generate, if no arg is passed to report-formats flag, also you can explicitly use it with --report-formats "json".
JSON reports are sorted by severity (from high to info) and should looks like as following:
{
"files_scanned": 2,
"files_parsed": 2,

SARIF¶
You can export sarif report by using --report-formats "sarif".
SARIF reports are sorted by severity (from high to info), following SARIF v2.1.0 standard and looks like:

SonarQube¶
You can export sonarqube report by using --report-formats "sonarqube".
SonarQube reports, follow SonarQube Import Format, also, the generated file will have a prefix sonarqube- and looks like:

HTML¶
You can export html report by using --report-formats "html".
HTML reports are sorted by severity (from high to info), the results will have query information, a list of files which vulnerability was found and a code snippet where the problem was detected as you can see in following example:
PDF¶
You can export a pdf report by using --report-formats "pdf".
PDF reports are sorted by severity (from high to info), the results will have query information and a list of files alongside the line where the result was found.
Exit Status Code¶

CycloneDX¶
Now, the CycloneDX report is only available in XML format since the vulnerability schema extension is not currently available in JSON. The guidelines used to build the CycloneDX report were the bom schema 1.3 and vulnerability schema 1.0.
You can export CycloneDX report by using --report-formats "cyclonedx". The generated report file will have a prefix cyclonedx- and looks like the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bom xmlns="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom/1.3" serialNumber="urn:uuid:9f9c80f3-5795-476d-974f-85e6cf1daa65" xmlns:v="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/ext/vulnerability/1.0" version="1">

ASFF¶
You can export ASFF (AWS Security Finding Format) report by using --report-formats "asff".
For default, the ASFF report uses a default AWS account ID ("AWS_ACCOUNT_ID") and a default AWS region ("AWS_REGION"). To set these values, you need to define AWS_ACCOUNT_ID and AWS_REGION in your environment variables.
